@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.

@jdwaid
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.

[pechelman]

+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?

@pechelman
Man, I’m falling in love

[mudhogen]

@Pipeboss713 looks great! It will look and feel even better after a few wears

[twin]

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

[seawolf]

@Pipeboss713 It looks absolutely perfect. Congrats!

[Pipeboss713]

Ok ok
Last one for a while.

[flannel slut]

@Pipeboss713 nah man, keep em coming. Killer fit

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

Hi I have a horsehide leather riders jacket .I find the zipped cuffs tight round my wrist as I have large hands and wrist .The jacket is a size 44 and fits well apart from this . Can I have this altered ? Tried to upload picture from phone but it shows up as error

[goosehd]

@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......

@sjc501 on ios devices, you can reduce file size before posting, where you choose the picture from your photo gallery.

Zipped up the forearms are definitely on the tight side. But this is probably by design… depending on what I wear under the jacket (hoodie + watch vs. only a tee) I use the zipper to accommodate for that and it works perfectly.

Putting this one away for the summer now that it’s too hot out. It’s softened quite a bit with just two months of regular wear, and there’s some minor flecks of tea core starting to come through on the wrists. Its such a great jacket I feel like I should give it a name. Will be fun to get back to wearing in a few (cooler) months.

@jdwaid looks great! You'll meet again in a few months
