The proverbial fit vs comfort issue. I find that I’m always at odds.
I have a version of the Vanson Oxford, which is similar! No wonder! Here I am in it.It's the same pattern as the Vanson Enfield.
This. I think the fit LOOKS awesome, but as a fellow middle ager i just prefer a little extra room. Probably from wearing a preponderance of non leather jackets that have more give.The proverbial fit vs comfort issue. I find that I’m always at odds.
Exact same here. At 55 years of age, I’m done with breaking in clothes. I want them to feel comfortable out of the box, and I’m willing to sacrifice the fitted look lol.This.

Welcome to the forum from another newcomer.Howdy folks,
I am new here and am looking for some advice on jacket fit.
I have had this Schott 689H for almost a year. I wore it a lot last winter and spring to break it in and it is starting to soften up nicely now and conform to me. My chest measures 39" and I have an athletic build. I ordered a size 38, ignoring the recommendation from Schott to size up and I go back and forth as to whether this fits me well. There is ample room in the torso and the arms with just a t-shirt but sometimes I think the shoulders feels tight. Also when I put my arms forward in riding position the back bunches up, not sure if this is normal or bad sizing?
I would appreciate all y'alls input.

Looks great, im going to buy one and came across your post researching sizes. I have a few Schotts and it takes time to get the jacket to behave. I think your shoulder and fit concerns will resolve as mine did after time. I'd want mine to fit as yours does.Howdy folks,
