IHJ-79-BLK - Primaloft® Gold Quilted Riders Jacket - Black

[Karol]

@cityofdelusion I got the same size as I have with UHF. It seems to be rather trim, but I found it to layer OK even with UHF despite the fact I was planning to have it only with T-shirts.
And base on what I had seen so far, it's not a material that's going to stretch.

I ended up having to return mine as well for being too restrictive in the pits. It was a hard decision to make as it looked great on and was a perfect fit everywhere else but found the armpit hole to be tighter in this piece than any other jacket or shirt I have worn. Would be a nice addition to include this measurement in the sizing charts.

@Karol Thank you for chiming in. I was afraid that this would be the case...

I 100% (!) agree with @flannel-slut (what a nickname btw. ) The fit is perfect everywhere except the arms and the armpit hole which is rather uncomfortably snug/tight. It's a shame, as I think the jacket is super nice, fits me very well everywhere else and I really wanted this jacket for a while now. But I believe that sizing up would mess up everything else.

Also, I agree that these measurements could be additionally stated in the sizing charts as they can prove to be very helpful for others who are considering to buy this jacket.

Thanks for the comments!

For context, and in the case that it helps anyone else who's planning on getting these, here is the fit over just a (thin) T-Shirt:

@cityofdelusion looks phenomenal... sigh

[cityofdelusion]

@flannel-slut Thanks I'm (very) strongly debating whether I should return the jacket considering the fit "issues" that I'm having which I mentioned in my previous post. Since my last post, I also noticed that the inside pockets, which I use very often, are placed rather high. Not a major deal-breaker by itself, but along with the mentioned doubts I'm having... sigh indeed.

@cityofdelusion You shouldn’t force it. If you don’t like it, you will not wear it.

@cityofdelusion You’re pics just made me regret not pulling the trigger on this during the sale. That’s how damn nice that jacket fits you. Can’t feel your armpits though and agree with what @goosehd said. Love it or leave it.

Just from looking at your fit pics, I’m not sure what the obstacle is to sizing up. O don’t think you would end up with a baggy fit over a T at all. This one just looks too tight, IMO

[Matt]

I tried them both on at ISP in Denver and all agreed sizing up for me was the way to go. The M would not have gone comfortably over anything but a tee and the L just looked better.

damn damn, might have to give this another go. I returned a medium last year due to the restriction in the pits and been wondering how a size up would work for this jacket. Love the whole primaloft line and the idea of this as a layering piece and am in favor of the chest pockets

[Thor]

I bought two sizes - the smaller one had the restricted pits issue and the other was the one size larger and fit like a glove..

[cityofdelusion]

I had the same problem, but mainly the upper arm section being super tight to the extend that it restricted my movement a bit... I was also wondering if sizing up would fix that problem as well.

I got a large in this. Same as my UHF. Fits great with no restriction. Good luck @flannel-slut

[flannel slut]

I’ll report back on how I make out fellas. Everything fit perfectly on the medium so hoping the size up isn’t sacrificing too much elsewhere

[flannel slut]

Well, got the large in just now. Still a little tight in the pit area but nowhere near as restricting as the medium was for me. Unfortunately, it is just too baggy through the midsection/opening and no longer has that sleek profile that I loved in the medium. Really wanted this one to work as I'm obsessed with the muffler and vest but going to have to send it back and move on from this piece... Sigh

Bummer dude

[cityofdelusion]

@flannel-slut Thanks for sharing! I, too, tried to make this work and won't be experimenting any further after reading your experience (which is similar to mine regarding the pit area).

Edit: FWIW, I think the pattern of this jacket needs an update... Rather than removing the chest pockets which are super nice to have (see newer version of this jacket), it would be way nicer to have a less restrictive pit and upper arm/bicep area.

@flannel-slut dang…I was really hoping it would work out. Fingers crossed that future runs/iterations have measurements that work better for you.
