New TWC mountain jacket and wanting to know if I shouldve gone to a medium. It is a comfortable fit over an UHF but might be a little blousy?

[goosehd]

@Anesthetist ...looks big.

[Anesthetist]

@goosehd I cant tell if it’s bc it actually is or bc the fabric is super stiff. I shouldve taken pics of it over a flannel, I’ll do that when I get home.

[Matt]

I think it looks ok. I assume you’d be wearing it over ls shirts or sweaters.

[Fadez]

Bigger is better for an overcoat. I think I’m reluctantly going to sell some of my jackets just because I can’t fit things underneath them as much anymore. Is it waterproof? If it is, I def would want room for a decent layer underneath

[Matt]

Those high pockets are my absolute favorite. I love resting my arms a little higher when my hands are in my pockets.

@Anesthetist It look fine from the front and too big from the side. Throw on that UHF and some heavy jeans and see how it feels. Does it have a dual zipper? That would allow you to size down if you make that decision and not have it too tight around the hips.

Looking at their website, the model in a similar jacket is showing the same "blousy" drape you are. https://theworkersclub.co.uk/collections/mens-outerwear/products/mens-shell-jacket-ink-made-by-mackintosh

Edie: i see this is a division road collab. may fit you a bit big seeing their model in a medium

[endo]

to me it looks right, as a rain/mountain jacket it should be roomy and the sleeves long enough, but you know it's all just how you feel in it

[popvulture]

Looks right to me too.

[goosehd]

The two areas that I would be most concerned about are circled. The reason I have concerns is that I find with stiff fabrics the material would be uncomfortable and could fold and crease in weird ways, potentially causing premature wear and tear.

I personally don’t like a lot of excess material in the armpit areas and find it uncomfortable.

[Matt]

I find your drawing of saggy shoulder boobs uncomfortable but you don’t see me going on and on about it.

[goosehd]

@Matt

Better?

[Matt]

You know it is.

[Anesthetist]

I leave the thread unattended for one day and it’s the @Matt & @goosehd show

Here it is over my NIN as compared to my 80.
IHJ-80


TWC

As I think about it, the TWC fits me more the Barbour Beaufort versus the traditional mountain coat. My only worry with a medium is the shoulder and pit. I had a MF Veste that fit me like a dream except I couldnt drive it comfortably

[jordanscollected]

@Anesthetist is the liner in the jacket right now? If it is, its going to be even roomier without it. As it stands it doesn't fit as trim as the IHJ-80, but it doesn't look too oversized IMO. also, love the color

[Anesthetist]

@jordanscollected no liner in atm but room for one or a vest (which I cannot do w the 80).

[steelworker]

@Anesthetist the blue looks too fitted for its purpose, boob coat for the win

[goosehd]

@steelworker @Matt calls that the saggy boob coat

[Anesthetist]

Leave my saggy boobs outta this! I mean…

[goosehd]

@Anesthetist No, no, no…you don’t get what I mean. You look lovely in that jacket and no it doesn’t make your butt look phat…I mean you have a great phat butt, no, no, no…

Screw it, I’m sleeping on the couch

Looks good Matt and I think you’ll make it work and look awesome!! Enjoy
