Recieved my TOJ. Not sure about it. I think its too big. I am no longer excited to buy more. I went with Charlie's suggestion and got a 54.

Needless to say this one is for sale. DAMN!!!!

What do you guys think?

The first pic makes me look fat, I think.

First couple of pictures are pretty bad but I don't see anything wrong with the ones closer to the bottom. Maybe sleeves just a tad long but pretty sick actually.

I could see where you would be disappointed if you were hoping to look like the rail-thin asian model in the stock pics but tbh this fits you fine.

To me it looks like the length could have been shorter and the shoulders/chest/mid body/waist couldve been wider.

Varsity side looks better than the other side but overall i reckon its the length that is throwing it off and making it bunch up funny. (as in its significantly longer than it needed to be)

You most likely measured yourself incorrectly.

Any fitted jacket will make you look fat if you are fat. And TOJ is pretty damn fitted

I have realized that every customer (including myself) of TOJ/JC go through a three phase trend.

Phase I (The Excessive Questioning Phase, est. time frame: 1 week - indefinite):
1. Bug Charly
2. Bug thread
3. Repeat loop

ie. Should I get lamb/calf/goat in black/brown/olive/red/yadda yadda

Phase II (The Wait, est. time frame: 4 weeks - 23 weeks):
1. Be sure to post in thread what you copped
2. Doubt self measurements
3. Remeasure
4. Bug Charly (potential further delays)
5. Repeat steps 2, 3, & 4

Phase III (The Self Doubting Phase aka. Blame Charly Phase, est. time frame: directly proportional to insecurity level):
1. Measure jacket
2. Compare to Charly's recommended measurements
3. Post pictures
4. Get bombarded by users who think jackets should be skin tight
5. Downward spiral of drugs and alcohol
6. Sell jacket
7. Jacket was actually great but it's too late
8. Regret and tears
9. Blame Charly

Dang, Charly can really take a beating.
