Freewheelers and Co.

I'm right with you on the CPO Davito. I also don't think that the shirt is by any means too long, but I am, like you, between sizes. I've decided that next year I'm just going to opt for the smaller size (17) and wear it a bit more fitted. It'll still fit over a lightweight shirt.

Congrats on the Hammersmith and the wabashes! Great pickups. As you know, the Hammersmith is sized more like an overshirt. I love its details, for example the triple stitching and the antiqued buttons! And FW's wabash doesn't need any more praise than its already got. Best there is IMO.

@veloaudio:

I'm getting more and more into this brand (the Redwood Hunting Jacket ). I just ordered an olive full zip sweatshirt from Fuji at The Wild One.

Good pickup VA. I'm sure you'll be happy with it, hopefully you got the 42?

[davito]

Chiba thx Sir, yes details are killer all around

@veloaudio looking forward to your pics of your fullzip

[veloaudio]

^Yes, I went with 42 given there will be some shrinkage.

[veloaudio]

Full Zip Arrived today. The color is great. Here are my measurements (unwashed) for the Large:

P2P- 23"
Sleeve- 24.5"
Shoulder (seam-seam) - 21.5"
Length - 29"
Opening - 20" (above bottom stretch cuff)

Now for pictures over my 21. Side shot shows that the body is big but there will be shrinkage (sorry the hood is angled toward the camera so it looks bigger than reality). Post wash measurements will be posted shortly.

[veloaudio]

Post Wash (Machine Gentle - Cold, Tumble Dry Low)
P2P- 22.5"
Sleeve- 23.5"
Shoulder (seam-seam) - 21"
Length - 26.5"
Opening - 19" (above bottom stretch cuff)
The sleeve measurement is very deceiving as the shoulder seams hang off my shoulders on to my arm (as shown in the pictures above).

Overall I like the fit much better after the wash. Pictures tomorrow.

^^ VA, the zip hoodie looks great. Really like that color. Happy with it?

[grandmasterben]

Honestly, to me, it looks kind of really long. Hopefully it shrunk a lot there!

[veloaudio]

Yes definitely! I love the olive.

[veloaudio]

The length was way too long but it did shrink almost 3". Much better now.

[davito]

Nice fullzip @veloaudio do you have more pics?

@Snowy upon your request my longshoreman unionspecial overalls

Thank you @davito. Look forward to watching them throughout the winter and beyond.

Lately…

Love that shirt Davito, great color combo and fit.
Today, my first piece of Freewheelers showed up from P&L and damn the quality is fantastic. My only concern is that it is probably a half-size large (sz42). I'm thinking I'll keep it and give it a hot soak, as I think the size below wouldn't be too tight with a flannel. What do you guys think?
Open

Buttoned

With my 109

Sorry for the sub-par pics, the wife is out for a bit. Thanks in advance.

I think you're right about the fit. The shoulders and p2p look spot-on, but the body and opening look too big for you. Even with the flannel on, it looks a little baggy. But, that could be the intended cut of the vest, I suppose.

too big…and I like things loose...but generally I like vests to fit closer.

[Finkster]

^agreed with the previous opinions

The vest looks, even with the -109 shirt a bit baggy .. and with a t-shirt only - no way
One size smaller could be perfect

[spitfiredealer]

Yeah looks too big mate.

[Anesthetist]

Thanks guys and I agree. I bought the size 40 and will keep the one that fits best. Too bad post to Sweden is damn expensive.

Finally got a pair of fuller cut jeans that fit me well , I've been thinking about the 601xx for a while and I'm glad they worked out

Love the lighter colour or the denim

And some bad lighting fit pics
