Just picked up my new ELC B3 .50Cal in a 46.

Sized up from my original B3 in a 44 (For sale on here now) as although it looked great on it just didn’t feel good… just too restrictive.

So here is my 46.. looks bigger obviously but actually I enjoy wearing this.. what a piece of art! In an ideal world a 45 would be the perfect size but hey ho!

What’s your thoughts on the fit?

Time to bring this thread back to the first page so newbies will know it exists and post their fit check questions here. No good being inundated with fit questions on the main board. PC
Amen to that Peacoat!!
Too bad it doesn’t say jackets in the title.
That would help!

Ps: Peacoat, no crayons were injured during this post, if you know what i mean.

I'm going to move this to the Fit Check thread in Outerwear where you should get a better response.

in the the future it is probably better to post your images in the body of your message rather than as links. Makes it easier on everyone to see them and comment. PC

Now that the thread has been moved, my opinion is that it is a good fit through the shoulders, but it is much too large in the body, and the sleeves are too long. Having long arms, I am sensitive to sleeve length, but even this length would be too long for me.

You need to size down at least one size, and perhaps two sizes, being mindful of losing width in the shoulders.

Thanks for the honest feedback.

I think there is small detail I should have mentioned. I’m doing some bodybuilding, basically bulk and cut phase and now this is the last week I’m slimming and I got down from 100kg to 92 and I’ll start to get bigger again.


I think the correct question would be is absolutely ridiculous to go out like that, is it funny too big? Because soon I will increase in size too.

You won't increase in size through the waist area, and that is where it is too big.
