Catch & Release or keep: GW Modoc

[ProteinNerd]

I recently picked up this GW Modoc from the classifieds, the listed measurements were out by enough that I probably wouldn’t have taken the risk but here we are.

I was initially thinking maybe it could work as a layering under jacket, for the 3 days a year it’s cold enough to do that, but now I’m thinking it’s too big even for that.

It’s a beautiful jacket but life is too short to waste on jackets that simply don’t fit properly, give it to me straight gents.

All photos have the side cinches fully pulled tight.

Not layered.

It’s possible I’m just too used to slim fitting patterns and that’s swaying my opinion but it’s also possible that this is simply 2 sizes too big and I’d be better off selling and trying again.

Unfortunately I'm going to have to say it's massively too big for you. I would definitely flip it. It's big everywhere, but the bottom opening is especially egregious.

It’s a beautiful jacket PN but I think it looks too large as well. Honestly if the hem were more tapered I think you easily wear it without issue or worry but it appears a bit to wide as is.

I’m on the opposite side of late as the past 4 leather jackets I’ve bought have all been way too small.

On the plus side, this should be a very easy and painless flip.

Keep.

Unfortunately it’s way too big for you comparing it with how well your other jackets fit you.
Off to the classifieds with it.

Is at least two sizes too big even layered and the sleeves too long.

The crowd has spoken ....is kinda what I was expecting TBH.

Thanks everyone.

too wide on the hip, unless you plan to wear it with pleat pants, or looser style pants.

Wound not be a fit for me, I would send it along. It's a very nice jacket...

Slightly too large but the slim jeans make it look larger than it really is. It’s not a bad vintage cut actually, some straighter fit pants would bring that out.
