Fit Check Thread for Jackets

Medium for sure

 

[Flos]

The medium size fits you well. The large size is too big

Awesome thank you!

@Flos medium100%

Just bought my first ever leather jacket from a great deal I found on the Schott 552 a couple weeks ago. I really love the simple style of this jacket, and I’m hoping for some feedback on which size fits me best between a medium and large.

Leaning towards the medium, but would feel better about keeping it if others agree that it’s the better fit style-wise (and that it doesn’t look too small on me).

For reference I’m 6’0”, 175lb, and 40” chest. The Schott website does recommend medium for these measurements too.

Thank you so much for any sizing feedback!

Medium 1000%! the Large looks way to big on you while the Medium fits you like a glove

my 2 cents!

 

[Flos]

Thank you so much all! Definitely going to keep the medium. Looking forward to breaking in my first leather jacket

Idk how this jacket style is meant to fit. Is this right?

 

[Bennarion]

The jacket is too short in length and sleeve

 

[Harris HTM]

Three inches too short on both sleeve and length. Obviously not the jacket for you.

As always, it's entirely up to you if you think a jacket fits how you like.

You already know this is much too small though, and that's why you're asking the question.

Here's some pictures of John Chapman wearing his L2B. He always seems to nail the fit in his photos, so I expect this is how the jacket is probably "meant to fit".

@Edward @Peacoat - how about we add this to the Jacket-Fit thread?

Done.

Been seeing a fair few separate threads on fit checks here, so thought a single thread might be handy.

Post any photos here of jackets that you want a fit check on, and get responses from other forum members!

Thanks this helps!

I didn't realize there was a thread for this oops.

It’s a bit short, you’ll need the next size up at least.

Ah it’s vintage, I’m just going to return it. I decided one MA-1 is enough—I don’t need an L-2B in addition to it.

It looks pretty good to me. It may be a touch big in the shoulders, but I wouldn’t size it down because it seems the right length in the torso and sleeves.

 

[nathlee1992]

Thank you for the reply. I plan to be able to wear something to layer on cold days. I tried L and struggle to wear it, shoulders were too narrow for me

Then I would stick with this size, but also I would wait for the opinion of some of the more experienced forum members.

Although it looks a bit roomy, it looks cool. In this respect, I would probably stick with it.
