    @Mizmazzle:

    Hey everyone!! So I just placed a deposit on the Wills Jacket! Only a 2.5 year wait a head of me!! Hopefully I just forget about it and one day wake up and BAM! Happy Merry New Day!!

    My question for those of you who have this jacket is with sizing. I have a freenote wxed canvas jacket. It fits slightly bigger than i'd prefer. I can layer under it and its fine. But I want this jacket to fit nice and clean with maybe a UHF under it and no more.

    I generally wear a Large in all IH shirts. So shoulder of about 18 and chest about 21-22.

    I ordered a medium in the Wills. It has the following dimensions:
    Shoulder 18.75
    Chest 22
    Sleeve 25.25
    Length 27.50….however I requested to have them cut the length down to 26.5"

    How does this jacket fit and move and wear? Want to get the sizing just right since it's a no return policy and all....Thanks a ton in advance.

    I wear a size L in IH flannels. I am 6’1”, 185 lbs and needed a large / long. Initially I tried the large regular and it was just too tight in the shoulders and short in the arms when worn over anything but a tee shirt. The seam was really painful in my shoulders. There is no way I could have worn a medium, I don’t think. The material is really stiff and unforgiving so I definitely recommend sizing up instead of down. If the UHF fits snug on you, then I can’t imagine sizing down to a medium is a great idea.

      Thanks for the input @Paul9221 @Oaktavia @Jett129 @popvulture

      Did anyone opt to shorten the length of their jackets? The length of the Medium is 27.5"  I feel a 26.5" will get closer to my denim jackets and other waxed Freenote…mayne that extra length is there for a reason though??

        Okay, so, I have the L sax UHF that just came out last week over a T and under the M Wills. It actually fits perfectly.

        I think a M Wills will do you good!

        Edit: for reference, I'm 155lbs, 5'10", about a 38.5" chest.

          Thanks @DCWS2020

          Im a large in IH UHF but they fit really comfortably generally. I'm 5"10 (and a half…can't forget the half haha) and weigh about 175. My true chest measurement is 38"

          Seems I'm probably about a size down from you. What do you think?

                I found the sizing chart they use pretty accurate. the measurements listed had me in an XXL and it fit pretty well.

                Its a cool jacket and well made and all that, but in the end I didnt keep it.

                  That sounds reasonable. I’m from Pennsylvania so had no chance of trying one on in the store.. but definitely would have if I was close to them. Are you close to Portland at all?

                      @Paul9221 thanks brother. I appreciate you taking the time to do that. Seems I’m a bit chunkier than you, but our chest measurements are about the same as is height. Maybe I have fat legs or something haha

                            Ha, I'm on the tail end of cutting, so I'm pretty lean at the moment.  I started at about 175.

                              The size chart is pretty accurate and works for sizing. I picked up an XXL and it allows me to layer and be comfortable. The jacket feels like armor and is very stiff, I can imagine that it would be unbearable to wear if too small (for me). It'll take a long while to break this in.

                              I word it to an event last weekend and all my friends were impressed and wanted to try it on.

                                I'm definitely going to size up a tad with mine when the final deposit comes. Going for an outer shell like @bbrtns did.

                                    Heya Mizz, that's the medium, and me at about 175lbs 🙂

                                    It was a bit snug with that sweater on, but it looked fine.

                                        Hrmm, I can't recall.  At 155lbs now, I am able to zip up the medium Wills over a T-shirt and a large UHF without problems.
