finally got my mits on an RMC Joe McCoy sweatshirt…....very happy!

very happy with the M - my new favourite jacket!

just received an M and its prefect, thanks all!

just watched the 'how we measure' video, I did not know that was the way to measure shoulder width.

thanks great info!  I've bought and sold 3 ill fitting deck jackets in the past few years, so I am trying to do due diligence.  A green size 38 RMC N1 was just a fraction too small, but it looked great!  A Freewheelers N1 tagged as a 40 was smaller than the aforementioned RMC.  And a navy BR N1, size L was too baggy all around.  I am looking for something that fits just right!  I could go for an RMC in a 40, but I fancy trying an IHN1, I love the D shaped pockets, the colour and absence of USN stencils.

@Giles:

I'd go M

thanks Giles!  May I ask about the measurements quoted on the IH site for a size Medium?

shoulders: 17.2 - this seems quite narrow, but looking at the photos it appears that the arms travel into the shoulder area if you know what I mean - hence the arm length being quoted as 27.3…....does the sleeve length compensate for the narrow shoulders?

thanks in advance

thanks guys…...standard daily wear for me is t-shirt & sweat....leaning towards a medium.  Happy with a more fitted look.

Am I an M or an L?

I cant decide…..I'm 6 feet slim, 160Lbs, 40' in most things.....advise please.

Good deal with den1mhead today - excellent communications - very easy to deal with…....thumbs up!

looking good!

Didn't end up ordering the Neal Cassidy shirt - but the good news is I just pulled the trigger on a Freewheelers deck jacket…....not from Japan, but in good used condition off Ebay........fingers crossed the damn thing fits!  Of course its summer here, but I just couldn't help myself.  It mean my just too small RMC deck jacket will be offered for sale soon.

Anybody have any experience with Freewheelers deck jackets?  The one I have ordered is a civilian model with D pockets and wool collar.

@Chris:

I have a couple of Neal Cassady shirts.  I think they're a size Large, and I'm normally an XL in Iron Heart.  Unfortunately I'm out of town right now.  I'll check when I get home on Friday, if that isn't too late.

thanks, I'de appreciate that!

Hi Guys - can anyone comment on Freewheelers sizing and fit?  I am eying up a Neal Cassidy chambray shirt and according to the sizing info I would be a size S…......though normally in most other brands I am an M or 38/40.
