I would have to agree.  When I initially saw the hoody posted on here my initial thoughts was that it looked terribly similar to a hoody I purchased for my girlfriend about a decade ago from Jcrew.  So yes, it is kind of feminine.  But then again as Adam Carroll says In Fifty Years We'll All Be Chicks

If fit is like the similar one from last year (black w/dots) is is very short and even more fitted then a western IMO.

How so?

 If I have over 40 shirts (workshirt and western) and only one I returned due to length and and fit was the polka dot shirt I mentioned above...I wasn't taller when wearing that one over the others.

Star Iron Shirt is unreal. The fabric is amazing. Fit feels like my Spellbound shirt - fitted like an old school workshirt.



Also got the wool buffalo-check cardigan and the zip-front trapper shirt. I love the wool on these - thick and soft. I really want to like it, but the trapper shirt is just a funny cut. The buffalo-check is awesome, but not sure if it's right for me, either.




Then was in a store today and scored this Black Label water resistant, hooded biker jacket on sale. This is really an amazing piece with a lot of details. Feels like oil cloth, but it's a water resistant cotton/poly blend. The cuffs are zip and snap with leather trim. Adjustable cords everywhere. Removable hood. Really awesome jacket

How do you feel about the fit of the Star Iron Ore shirt? Its a BEAUTIFUL shirt. However, of the 2 dozen RRl shiorts that I own, all in a size medium, the Star Iron Ore, as well as this seasons red chambray--incorrectly described as selvedge, as it is not, the chambray steamfitter--also not selvedge, and the indigo checked workshirt, ALL taper at the waist. I was VERY disappointed when I received them all and this is how they fit me. I'm 6'0", 175lb, and have a 36 waist. I returned all but exchanged the Star Iron Ore for a large and it still fits pretty well. Not too loose, yet I'd rather it fit as clean as a medium in the shoulders and chest. I was EXTREMELY disappointed at the cuts of these shirts; a very unfortunate dealbreaker. I still have the Star Iron Ore with tags attached as I'm still on the fence on this $320 purchase. I may have it darted by a good tailor.

You are 6'0, 175 lb, and have 36 waist?  There must be a typo somewhere.  I'm 5'7, 175 lbs and have a 33 waist.  A medium usually fits me, but not always.  I am not sure how a medium could possibly fit somebody with a 36 waist.

I'm interesting in purchasing the RRL Indian Varsity Jacket but am unclear as to whether to get a small or medium.  The specs for the Medium are: Shoulder to shoulder: 19". Sleeves: 26.5", Pit to Pit: 22.5". length from base of collar to bottom: 27".  The Small's specs are  21 inches pit to pit, and the length the collar to bottom is  25.5 inches.  Is there a rule of thumb for Varsity Jackets -- should they hang a bit loose or tight?
