Fitcheck Fine creek leon 44 or 42. Which one should i choose.

[AeroFan_07]

You asked for our thoughts here, and they seem to have been delivered.

I would choose a different brand/direction for this type of Perfecto jacket.

Because I've already paid, I have to choose one of the two. The problem with the body of 44 is that when I on motorbike and pull zip it, it will push up, it lifted the shoulder of the jacket off my shoulders, making me look like a bear

I’d sell it and buy something that fits.

Ah, the result of peddling subversive, concept clothes as utilitarian. I used to hate Fine Creek because of this until I realized they're actually trying to be Balenciaga.

Anyway, then it's simple - Get the 44 and have it altered.

I also noticed you said they're "custom" - don't mean to be rude, but the only custom part is being accustomed to a bad fit

"Custom" in Fine Creek parlance means they cut the belt and epaulettes off for you.

Canuck's secret to getting a well-fitting FCL cross-fit: have an expert leather tailor take apart every seam and use the jacket as raw material to make a new pattern and jacket.

Ah I see. In my parlance, FCL custom would mean cutting it out of your wardrobe. Nothing against OP.

Man, I miss those good old days when @ton312 and @Superfluous used to have endless discussions about the latest Fine Creek release.

because in japan I often find youtube clips about people dressing like this

especially when they like fatique/ military pants, I suppose they will wear very long tubular body jacket because it matches the rest of their "ill fitting" style... I wonder why... it's not like they are blessed with very long legs.

What's wrong with these pants? They all look like a regular military cargo pant fit to me.

Ah yes. The old days of TFL. Where honesty wasn’t considered a sin. Nowadays around here, if you dare be honest, you can expect a post like this with your name on it:

Are you considered to be an asshole because you voice your opinion?

I thought that was the whole purpose of having a forum, to exchange opinions.

Or is it because you wished a butchered Shinki jacket upon someone? If that's the worst thing that can happen then humanity is going to be just fine lol.

No. You have to glaze that shit until it's glistening. If this forum was any good, they'd recommend the OP to keep BOTH jackets, one for layering and one for just a T-shirt, as both are clearly spectacular.

The irony is that it’s precisely what I said that prevented a butchered shinki jacket from being born. But in all honesty the tone here is simply to be nice at all costs, ignore honest feedback and just have a giant group high five that doesn’t really benefit anyone.

Craig and I used to have vigorous debates and we almost never saw eye to eye but I always respected him. Some of the current membership seems eager to have hurt feelings.
Honesty here died some time ago.

As far as the OP goes I wouldn’t keep either jacket as you can buy four better fitting, better made jackets for the same investment.

they usually pick XXL and roll / cuff the leg 3 times, the girls in their crew are the only ones who pick the right size for their body, all the guys are all overly positive about their body image

many people send their brand new car or motorcycle straight to custom workshop, or brand new house to be remodelled to be unique different to their neighbors, sending a brand new jacket to be altered is within sanity meter ...

This guy is a real piece of work, ain't he? Noticed that a long time ago, but this just takes the cake.

 

[TartuWolf]

As for the topic, I'll just echo what others have said - do what you have to do but return/sell both of those, neither of them fit you well. I guess the 44 would be a more reasonable choice, mainly due to the sleeves, but still a bad choice.

That's not true, that's just the cut of the pants. These are the pants from the same brand and same dude in the video he wears both size M and size L at 174cm 70kg, seems pretty normal to me.

Cargo pants should be worn with a wide cut, especially M-51 and similar era cargo pants.

I don't mind cuffing on these either but I like wide baggy cuts in general for pants. One thing I dislike is long and baggy tops in combination because it makes everything look mostly shapeless, but on their own I like the fit of the pants.
