      @Pipeboss713 I thought you said you weren’t cool enough for a leather jacket! Glad you’re finally feeling cool enough 😂

        It’s not tight but I surely filled all the measurements for medium. Probably gonna return it

            @Pipeboss713 try it on with a heavy flannel to be sure. The shoulder and sleeves look good. Wearing it over a flannel would confirm if the chest/waist and length was off or not.

              @Pipeboss713 definitely worth sleeping on your decision. It looks like it works for you but it might feel weird at first (I certainly had that experience with my 129, but I’m really glad I kept it).

                @Pipeboss713 its supposed to be snug! For what it’s worth, it looks perfect on you. It’ll loosen up some as you break it in as well and it forms to your body. It should be snug but not tight.

                  It will fit over a uhf but will zip up kinda bunched up

                      @Pipeboss713 mine has started to mold a bit to my body and the forearms aren’t as tight as they were when I first got it. You might get a little stretch out of it with regular wear I think yours looks good but you’ll know better than anyone. It’s a big investment and I get the hesitation.

                        +1 on everything said above. It looks about right and it will mold and relax a bit, especially where there is bulk around the side zips. The size up would definitely be way too big. If you're still not loving it, maybe the type 3 instead would be to your preference?

                              @Pipeboss713 I would keep it. The fit looks good.

                                      FWIW on the fit, if you sized up the arms would be too long, it looks good on you.

                                          @sjc501 Anything can be altered if you find the right person to do so. The problem is finding the right person. Where are you located and maybe someone will have a recommendation for you.

                                            Likely because the file size is too large. The error message is shit, but we can't change it......
