Fit pic help

[Sockeye]

Hello folks, I posted this in my leather trucker thread, but I’m looking for some feedback. I pulled the trigger on a Vance and maverick, I chose a size down but now I’m wondering if it’s a little too snug appearing. I can button it with a T-shirt, just barely though. Thinking about going to size up but I’m worried the shoulders might be too big. Can I get some feedback?

Looks great in the pic's, but personally id like a little more room try the size up while you can still return it.

Perfect as it is.
I would keep it like this.
It also doesn't look like it stretches across the chest.

Thats how a trucker should fit, looks great

 

[Jasonindenver]

I would personally try the next size up for a little more body and sleeve length.

 

[El Marro]

It doesn’t look too snug at all, it looks perfect. How does it feel though, is it comfortable? I’ve been in this position a few times and I have opted to exchange the jacket because I like a little bit more room rather than a perfect photo fit.

Doesn't even look like it's a slim fitting jacket, let alone one that's too snug. Perfect regular fit, if you ask me and if I may add, this is pretty much a standard how a trucker jacket ought to fit anyone.
Sleeves are borderline too long as it is, body is perfect so I honestly don't think a larger jacket wouldn't do you any good.

 

[Mr.P]

I would size up. In my experience when it comes down to comfort and looks I always lean towards comfort. I’ve had to let go of jackets in the past that look amazing in a photo but just weren’t practical to wear. If your lucky, looks and comfort line up. That’s what we are all searching for I guess.

 

[Mr.P]

Change of thought. As long as it’s not uncomfortable and pulling up under the arm pits I would keep it. It should start to stretch a little and soften up as you wear it. So as long as it’s not unbearable, keep it.

 

[Monitor]

In my experience, if a slightly snug jacket feels uncomfortable, sizing up will remedy the issue only marginally. Good pattern shouldn't feel restrictive even if you size down. Snug, tight; Sure, but not uncomfortable. I wear a size M and I had jackets that felt downright restrictive in XXL.

 

[Mr.P]

Agreed, snug and a little tight is fine so long as not uncomfortable, if the seems from the arm hole are squeezing into your pits it’s a definite no go.

Yep, or being able to reach forward without feeling like the back seams will split or raising your arms; Stuff like that. 1" of added material can't make much difference

It feels very comfortable, except snapping it up. 2 inches off my middle section would make it perfect fit!

 

[Mrfrown]

Looks good from here

Also, have you considered leaving the bottom 1 or 2 buttons undone? It can help and still generally looks good I think

Get crunching then!
It looks good, i would keep it as is.
Also, personally i tend to wear truckers open, IMO they are a nice weather jacket, not a winter one.
If it's windy and rainy i won't wear a trucker, so i would rather it fit well open than closed.

 

[Bfd70]

Well, you see there are no right answers. Fit is personal. For me I need to be able to sit and drive a car and reach stuff off a shelf. If i can’t do that then all the pretty pictures ain’t worth much.

Next size up will be too big and the shoulder seams will be hanging a good 1" off where they should land. Beautiful jacket btw and I think it fits just like a type III ought to.

 

[Canuck Panda]

Looks good. A larger size could work for wearing more than just a tee shirt underneath.

The brown leather looks really good. Looks like brown comp weight type leather. Was this custom order?

 

[Sockeye]

It is the Vancouver in Dark Maple off TBs featured stock. The leather is Amazing, I have had most of their offerings except bainbridge and baladassi, it may be my favorite. Remarkably supple.
