Looks right at home–not obtuse nor contrived.  And with time the 'new' jacket sheen will fade.  Worst case only wear it while with the guys!?!

Thanks very much gentlemen. After taking the photo's for me earlier she actually crept to the cross and admitted "it wasn't as bad as she thought". So by next week she'll love it [emoji23]

Well I'll be the odd man out here, honest opinion @neph93 is that I'm with your wife on this one.  Lose the patch and it's much better.  Truth be told I'm not a huge fan of varsity jackets on anyone though.

No worries. The patch and the whole "College football player x Marylin Manson" vibe is what I love about this jacket (and what my wife hates about it). I can see it's not for everyone.

Great denim fit, too! Are those the vintage 18 oz 634?

Well spotted, yes they are. My first 634's, I'm a bit wide for the 634 (W34/35 with a 31" inseam) but these are so narrow that they work for me. And I love the way the top block fits.

That's a great fit neph.  They look damn good.

Special Thanks to Paula for taking care of my order! Great jacket but i never owned a jacket that short. As i always wanted a quality black/black varsity jacket i lusted for that one since it came out. A bit unsure if it‘s not too short but i believe this is exactly how that kind of jackets should fit. Went with a M, a large would have been too big in chest & waist.

sharp and yeah they fit like that

[Seul]

Fit is excellent. You'll get used to it, trust me, I have the IHW-10…

[illo59]

Thanks guys! @Seul  yeah that was my thinking too, everyone looks good in the ihw-10 &11 - charming pice imo, i just have to get used to it…

@Madame Buttonfly is a

genuinely nice lady

[neph93]

Agree with Seul. I have this and a trim fit is the right fit. Looks great and will look even better when you wear the crap out of it!

She really is! Also supported me with some nice stickers - and found me the jacket with the longest back length can't thank @Madame Buttonfly enough!

@neph93 thanks, that's the plan - did you manage to calm down those squeaking arms yet?

[neph93]

Ha… they are calmer, at least, but still let themselves be heard. It’s a beast of a jacket and takes time to tame.

I’m looking forward to warmer temps so I can just wear it open over one layer.

@madmonday - thank you for the kind words, and @illo59 I think the jacket looks great and hope you are pleased with it!  I know I've not been spending enough time chatting on the forum with all you lovely folks recently, @Giles and @Alex are working me too hard! Will try to do better
