    need advice on the FITTING ONLY please

    well he's also shorter and he has a stocky build (think dwarves) i'm taller but slim so our weight isn't distributed the same. also, like everyone was saying, i have plenty of space

    need advice on the FITTING ONLY please

    i would but he would never let me photograph him. i will say that it's far too tight, he can't even get the front of it to reach together to zip it up. it looks like wearing a coat but somebody cut off the front end of it if that makes sense

    need advice on the FITTING ONLY please

    good to know. thanks. I actually spoke to a leather tailorer in my city and they said it wouldn't be a problem, however some others on here told me alterations would ruin it, but they sounded so confident that i really do not know.

    need advice on the FITTING ONLY please

    Thanks for the anecdote, if that's the case then i should be GOLDEN i was just really worried. thanks for the re-assurance. as i'm sure you read, perhaps the culprit is the shearling inside which is worrying me.

    need advice on the FITTING ONLY please

    it's not. i'm just really concerned about the fit. i've never gotten a jacket that fit properly before so having this even feel a bit snug is eriously throwing me off. i guess i don't understand how a jacket 'should' fit. i'd appreciate any help/advice

    need advice on the FITTING ONLY please

    I sent them a size small (36-38) and told them to add room for the shearling. They said they added a half inch to account for it. Not knowing better, I said okay since...I'm not a jacket maker and trusted their expertise. The jacket I sent them doesn't fit me well btw. Quite big.

    well my dad is 5'5 about (maybe 5'4) and 160 ish pounds and it can't even come close to zipping up on him. he can barely get it on and looks like a doofus with it

    need advice on the FITTING ONLY please

    perhaps i am confusing if with the shearling? i never wore something like this so could the puffiness from the shearling be constricting?

    need advice on the FITTING ONLY please

    It’s already been established that the jacket is too big for you now. i guess that's all i can really do. but like i said, only 25 pounds or so which isn't that huge since it's distributed all over.

    need advice on the FITTING ONLY please

    ah okay. I apologize if i come off as doing that; i am legitimately concerned since i never had a leather jacket like this. every other one that i've ever had was very clearly too roomy and large on me, so having something closer to fitting me is throwing me off and i'm very paranoid about it

    need advice on the FITTING ONLY please

    thanks for your reply! yeah except it's only about 11 kg (25 ish pounds) since i'm only around 105 right now from illness. I figured it should fit because i wore asweater underneath and somebody was able to fit their entire arm inside another user said that the shearling should compress over...

    need advice on the FITTING ONLY please

    i tried i with a HUGE parka hoodie (practically a jacket, it's a size medium and insulated with fur/shearling, it makes me look like a fat marshmallow) and i was still able to zip it up. i couldn't move my arms a whole lot, but that was with a sweater and a parka so it's probably fine?

    need advice on the FITTING ONLY please

    thanks, so could the shearling be the culprit? i've never had a jacket that was "right" for me (everything i've had was like 2 sizes too big) so i really don't know how to feel, especially with a brand new one that isn't broken in others have said that they shearling would compress and be fine...
