Got my first Schneider piece.... Chandler jacket in micro-checked dark grey. I was wondering if it was too big/if i can pull off the oversized look. It's really nice and I've been looking for a hooded jacket for some time now. What are your thoughts? I bought it when I was in NY for the weekend so there's no returning. It's a size VII, I'm 6"3 and normally take Large/Large Medium.

They only had size 7 left :(.... The extra fabric around my midsection does make it feel a little sloppy... Maybe I can get a tailor to slim the arms and midsection. Good idea/bad idea?

Shoulders and sleeve length looks fine. Though sleeve width, particularly at elbow and bicep looks loose and the body looks loose. But great looking piece. I took a 6 in my chandler

Looks good to me, it's a jacket not a hoodie also, maybe it's because your height but I don't think it looks sloppy.

Yeah I will just live with it, I sometimes catch my reflection and think I look really top heavy but I don't normally wear big tops anyways... Also, it was $150 bucks so can't complain...

If you are in Manhattan, the store Odin in Greenwich village had two light gray beeswax? left in size 7 for around $300 if anyone was interested!

I think it looks good, could maybe tailor it a bit in the body but no reason to let it go imo
