This was yesturday, but about the same - using our local body of water as a backdrop. Nice to have the Mississippi right close.

What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

Sadly I can’t return as these are all custom made. It’s definitely tight but I think too soon to tell how much it will ease up. The other bummer is that even the largest size they have would probably be too trim in the sleeves. I think that’s just how they are made. Feels ok in the chest, just too snug in the sleeves.

They only make jackets for mere mortals it seems!

Rainy day nylon Schott. Rest is always the same but this jacket is great for when it's raining. Warm, too. Basically a textile 689.

Damn, you’re right about that. They look way too slim for a jacket that size.

This is probably the best fitting jacket I've seen on you. Well done.

The first cool day here since April!
Black selvedge Naked&Famous type III that I picked up at the end of last Winter. It still looks a bit too fresh and new, but I’ll work on that!

Are the sleeves lined?
They are, in the same buffalo check flannel. Doesn’t help with the diameter issue. If these were 1” wider this would be the best denim jacket I’ve owned to date. Really pissed about it. LOL. Oh well.

Thank you sir - I agree with this indeed. Carrie at Thurston Brothers knows how to fit a person. (Shameless plug!)
It's caused me to start questioning one prominent member of my jacket family with a bit different dimension of fit - that could go up for sale. Humm...

Get Dena to fit some 3 oz cordovan CXL sleeves on that bad boy!
Might need to make a sleeveless chore coat or rip out the sleeve lining

Got a Nylon Schott Nixon for winter, European line as far as I know, made in the land of smiles. Outer shell is nicely tough but not tightly enough woven or sealed so the inner padding starts „creeping through“. Not bad anyway, Mr. Bezos asked just 60,- bucks for it.
These sleeves look pretty tight indeed. Have no idea what the designers have in mind, developing a workers jacket and so many other stuff with sleeves to fit an undernourished schoolboy.

Perfect plan right here! Probably would be a big improvement. But it's a bummer that the sleeves did not work out...

These indeed do seem too narrow, at least in the upper part of the sleeve. What's it called, biceps area?

Lol, land of smiles. Mine is proudly made in the US of A. I got mine from this chick who was asking $15 for it. It was listed as a woman's jacket in a "pearl" green color. Had to lie I was gettin' it for my girlfriend. Wanted to sell it right away but I just like it too much.
