Not Suitable for Slim Physiques Review by Caplan
Quality Value Let me start off with acknowledging that this is advertised as a "regular fit" jacket, and that I knowingly purchased it, despite normally needing slim-fit everything.
That being said, there is absolutely no stock size that would be suitable for a tall and lean man (6'2, 170 lbs). The sleeves are far too baggy, and when zipped up, the jacket balloons up in the chest and shoulders. However, the sleeves and overall jacket are perfect length, and all of the knitted sections fit perfectly. I clearly can't size down to Small without the sleeves riding up, so there's simply no stock sizing that will work.
Sizing issues aside, it's a beautiful jacket- the zippers are heavy-duty, the material feels good, and the warmth hits you almost immediately upon donning it. I'm definitely a fan of the sacrilege "Victory" lining; as much as the mil-spec orange appeals to my inner utilitarian, I appreciate the more casual, fashion-oriented tone.
It's probably impossible to tailor this jacket, but I'll be visiting my local cloth sorceress to triple check before sullenly resorting to returning it, which is such a shame. I know Cockpit USA offers slim-fit jackets as well, but this was the one that spoke to me. Ah, well.
