Crappy pictures, I know, but could I get a fit check? I'm fat so I went with an XXL, but now I'm thinking I maybe should have gone with XL. Thoughts?

How much room to you have when it is buttoned up ?  It is always personal preference, but from the pics I would say you could go one down.

Personal preference but it looks like it might be a little big. I agree with @rocket, if you can easily close it so that the buttons and buttonholes cross over by an inch or more then you could definitely size down.

I've got room, but not a ton. I would mostly be wearing this with either a hoodie or heavy flannel under it. Maybe occasionally with just a t-shirt. My biggest concerns are the shoulders, and the length, which according to the measurement chart are an inch smaller on the XL. I don't imagine I'd see much shrink (never had anything in this denim) with a really hot soak. It's not overly big, I just want it to be a tiny bit trimmer.

I’d say you could afford to loose an inch in length. Shoulders are harder to judge.

The length is from the pics not a issue on you. Check how it feels with just a tee. Maybe you will need to live with a compromise and choose the one you will use most, or buy two.

I also think you could size down - shoulders won't be much of an issue with a vest IMO.

Hey dude. I'm 6'2 and 15st9lb. I wear a xxl but thanks to the good folks at IH UK got chance to try an xl too. For me it was slightly too tight. I could only wear a t shirt under it. The shoulders on the xxl are my only concern, they flair out very slightly over my shoulders. Ideally the collar to shoulder could be 1 inch shorter. Over a hoodie or leather it is great though, and that's one of the reasons I wanted it.

Against advice I have it a full cycle on 60 degrees C, no spin cycle. I got some pretty nice grey fades in certain areas. I'll have a better idea tonight when it's dry and I take it out it the warm airing cupboard.

I'm not advocating this for you though. Don't do it if you need black to mean black.

@theorocks that is one of the best «in the wild» shots I’ve seen. Great stuff. Can I ask what the gig is? Your own band?
