@tatmantall:

Trigger pulled, Tyler at the Portland SE is sending a medium and an L to try and letting me just send back the one I decide not to keep…

Mood: jazzed

Dam dude!! That is fucking service!! First class! Must be some trust there?

[CLJ]

Excellent customer service!! Would be handy to have that available for every purchase but not feasible in the grand scheme of things. You're gonna love it.

[tatmantall]

I would like to think I have established a fairly good working relationship with a few of the places I shop. It's not normally something I would ask for but I've debated the sizes the last couple weeks and am having a hard time coming to a decision. I asked Tyler if it would be a problem, and let him know I completely understood if it was not something they were able to do. It's certainly not a favor I would ask on every purchase, like CLJ stated its just not that feasible… However, like I said... I'm sure being a very regular patron and establishing that relationship lends a certain amount of trust. I'm very appreciative

curious to see what you end up with. I always though I need M and when Finn now says, that L was big on him, I feel right. Although I was adviced L by many. Difficult decision (but not one I have to make right now).

[tatmantall]

I'm thinking M will be the way for me as well… But it seems there are mixed opinions about how this fits

[mclaincausey]

I guess the confusion is that it's outerwear, but it's uninsulated and to be worn trim, and many of us want to layer.

[Giles]

It is made 1 size bigger than our other type III jackets.  This because it was designed to be worn over leathers….

[mclaincausey]

thanks G.  as I don't own one, doesn't help me as much as it might, but M seems to be the play, even with some of the thick gear under it

Yes, this is exactly my experience… I plan to wear it in cooler weather (layer) and use as a motorcycle jacket... I LOVE this vest, it is a beast.

I just went to add this info to the product description, and it already says this:

Designed to be worn over a heavy jacket, so these do come larger than our normal sizing

[tatmantall]

Just picked up my sonny vests from the post office, HOT DAMN are the NICE!!! I am still unsure which direction to go as I have only had the opportunity to try them on over a tshirt but neither of them looks bad… guess Its a win win either way.

[Max Power]

^you know the deal…pictures please!

[grandmasterben]

Plz pics tatman

[tatmantall]

Here it is fellas , this is a medium (38) and fits perfectly over the himel as well, I would say definitely size down…. But that's just IMO.

[Max Power]

Looks great on you. And thanks for the sizing hint, I think M would be my choice as well then.

[Finn666]

yap, great fit all around…first pic looks like it's a button up

[tatmantall]

thanks… I'll try to get some pics over the leather in a bit but got a few big tests tomorrow so cramming hard at the moment.

Need some patches now

@joesaintjohn:

The P2Ps on these throw me. It makes me think they are way small.

If your refering to SE measurements they are not right

[mclaincausey]

Medium here too…

[tatmantall]

understatement of the year…
This vest is stiff..... HOLY SMOKES IT IS.... like wearing a black piece of concrete.
