@goosehd so it looks like I’m an XL in the 526pj type 3, which u commented to size down from xxl to xl. Remember I started out with a xxxl.
This 293 is a xxxl. Do u think I should go down to xl or xxl?
-
@MassiveThighs Judging from your pictures, I would say the XXL is big and you could size down. Since it is OD, there is no shrinkage possible.
You could keep the (XXL) and have one top for a looser street style fit, and another one (526J) more fitted for “date nights”
I have most of my clothes fit more fitted/tailored looking as that is my own personal style. I do have one or two that is more of a loose fit/baggy for when I want to change it up.
-
@goosehd I am wearing XXXL in the pictures. Also don’t want to layer it anymore, so u think the XXL would do?
-
@MassiveThighs Not sure...Measure your chest around the thickest part of your chest (preferably over a tight t shirt or bare chested) for a start and let me know your measurement. We can work from there.
-
@MassiveThighs Just double checking if you're still in this area for overall size: https://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum//post/708642

@goosehd it is around 43”. My problem area is my upper back, I sometimes get restriction if it’s a bit too slim fit.
-
@MassiveThighs I'm 42.5" - 43" and wear xl in almost all of my clothing. Most XL's will give me a bit of room to work with. There are some larges that work and I've only ever went with one XXL. The XXL hangs off of me and looks like I'm a kid wearing my dad's shirt.
If I'm in a beach mode/relaxed attitude it works, but otherwise I think it looks sloppy on me. I too have spent a lot of time lifting weights/exercising/fitness and work hard for my health. I don't look as good as most, but I do think I look decent for my age. Fitted is my preference.
-
Also, restriction is not a bad thing as most of the time when I see people I see trying clothes on, they do exaggerated motions that they normally wouldn't do in the course of a day or ever. You don't need to be able to do jumping jacks in a shirt, if you don't normally do jumping jacks in your street clothes... lol
-
@goosehd ok cool, also there is that break in time so I think I’ll go for the xl. I’ll hit y’all back up in here when it comes in, thanks again.
-
Ok XL wasn’t going to work after I got some measurements, so went with XXL which worked out well considering it’s a bit snug in my upper back but not bothering me.
Here’s the XXL:
-
@MassiveThighs my preference would be a size smaller for a more fitted look. But it doesn’t look bad.
-
Thank y’all, I was definitely wearing a size too big.
@doubletee, I got the kersey coming in XL, I’ll see how that one fits
-
Just received mine today in 3XL. Fits like a glove. Cant wait to fade!
-
@landrunner33 looking good! such a great shirt

Scored this one on kleinanzeigen, second hand but in great shape (almost new). Size is L (I am 184cm and 84kg when pictures taken- now 80kg). I have a 526pj in XL to wear with my thicker shirts, so gonna rock this just with t-shirts. I am quite impressed with the quality. Definitely my favourite shirt!
-
@boutsk this is the fit I'm going for. I'm 2" taller and stick skinny, I'm wondering if I should go with the Large anyways. I had TJ at Shop Vancouver measure their XL and it came up sounding way big so I don't want to end up making a mistake

Depends on the fit that you like. I could have gonne with XL for a looser fit and wear it also as an overshirt. Unfortunately, regarding Japanese tops, L are a bit snug and XL a bit loose for me. When I want to layer underneath, I choose XL (and they still look a bit loose).And size L if I wear them just with a t-shirt. It's style vs comfort for me
-
@boutsk thanks for the response! now lemme ask, do you have a UHF in size Large? if so, how does the fit compare to the CPO?
