@Darth-fader depending on your body type if you are not totally unhappy with the fit, I'd give it a good old soak and wash with minimal spin, let it almost fully dry, wear it a bit when it's still damp and it will mold to your body!

@FlavourFade - I will certainly give this a try - thanks! ( it is such a nice jacket I will be wearing it even if it was 4 times too big )

@Darth-fader I was fixated on the shoulder measurement and then it turned out to be fine (thought it was going to be too snug, but the chest made up for it). In my opinion it fits like a fusion of type 3, chore coat and work jacket at the same time and somehow it works really well.

Has anyone found the shoulder to feel awkward when lifting your arms in the ramblin jacket? Kinda feels tight/forward pulling when I raise my arms up past 90 degrees. I think it's the way the arm holes are cut.

@FlavourFade well, I did what you said, and it has shrunk up nicely......now it is absolutely perfect, so thank you so much!

I ended up selling my Ramblin’ unworn/unwashed just a few days after receiving it.

I really liked the jacket, but the bottom opening was just too wide for me. That’s one of the challenges with these larger sizes. Everything else can fit well, but sometimes the proportions, like the opening/waist just don’t scale quite right for me. I need a bigger belly…

@mecken88 right on brother, I size down too from my wax Ramblin and its bang on fit. Now both Ramblin fits the same

Understandable. I also saw you talking about having a more curated wardrobe in the other thread ( if that is the right way to describe it ).

I think I got really lucky with mine though. Initially I thought hmmmm, but it actually fills a spot in my jacket rotation.

Did anyone see Mike teasing the Dry waxed townes shirt in insta? I am not so sure about that one myself, but curious to see more.

@myk1098 yeah same for me! My Large waxed and Medium broken twill, fits very similar! Very happy I sized down

@mecken88 Awesome , t
he broken twill is something special .
