Fit check

It’s pretty close to fitting the way I like, and I’m maybe 5lb over my preferred weight (200lb). Just feels a smidge small and unlikely that I can wear a hoodie under come winter.

Would appreciate honest opinions, thank you.

@catdad1 thanks for the reply and quote - makes a ton of sense. I’ll see if I can post some fit pics for ref.

@ZackB I can’t seem to replicate either measurement is the problem.

@americanathreads thanks for the reply. Is it safe to say that I should size up if this is feeling a touch small?

One more quick question about proper sizing etc… hoping to get some help with taking proper measurements.

According to IH, this XXL should measure 23.9" in the chest. According to Self Edge, it should be around 22.5" (taking their 45" and dividing by two so we are comparing apples to apples)

This is the jacket I received, maybe you can tell me which way I should be measuring? If I lay the jacket out and measure from seam to seam across the chest, I get 22"

I know this looks pretty close to the 22.5 that SE claims, but the tape starts at the left hand seam and my measurement stops where the right hand seam falls. If I move the tape all the way over and measure edge to edge how the jacket lays, I get something closer to 23.5".

Which method should I be using to measure the chest size of these jackets? Would you say this jacket has a 22" chest or a 23.5"?

Did I just happen to receive a jacket with smaller chest measurements? Hoping that SE can help me find one just a bit bigger. Is that a seasonable expectation?

Thank you for reading. Also worth mentioning, this piece is amazing. Thanks to everyone who built up this thread and helped me decide to pull the trigger on this one.

Can anyone comment on the capacity for this jacket to stretch?
I picked up an XXL from Self Edge and I’m not sure if I should keep it or not. The sleeves and shoulders fit well, but it’s a bit snug to actually button it up all the way.
Looks like the 3XL is sold out, but the 19oz SEXIH is available in a bigger size….
Anyone willing to share their thoughts would be much appreciated.

@CosmoSix5 where did you find available stock of the LH 19oz?

@hjl360 thanks for the reply, much appreciated!

Does anyone know if there is a planned restock of this jacket anytime in the near future?

Any updates as to the ETA on this piece? Trying to decide if I should wait for this or pull the trigger on the SelfEdge collab next week.
Thank you ️
