I live in San Jose. Owning a shearling is largely an emotional decision. I wear my JG over a t shirt most of the time.

yea with all of the pictures of the brown, I’m having a real hard time choosing between the brown and the black. Opinions welcome

Both look great to me, but I think I would choose one over the other depending on what kind of jeans I'd plan to wear with the jacket. With blue jeans, I'd prob go with the brown version. With black or grey jeans, I'd do the black version.

Either one would also look really good with dark olive fatigues or cargo pants.

I have been lusting for one of those Grizzlies since they came out initially, really don’t want to **** up sizing though. My gut (literally) is saying Large. I’m 5’10, 185 with broad shoulders...

I’m 5’11-3/4, 180, and am looking to order an L. Landing on that is pending Greg/Kyle confirming whether Virtusize is correct.

I just took some quick measurements of my L, Virtusize numbers match up.

I’d say XL for a 42. This stuff does not look great worn slim.
I figured that’s why XL was sold out! Thanks for the info.

it’s raglan sleeve so there aren’t any distinct points I could measure sorry.

Very good observation. Whoops. Also, I dig your PF Aztec shirt. That was a miss on my part.

Bro, where will this fit in with your summer FCL and winter FCL? In between? ?

What's up on virtusize are the measurements we took in FW16, which SHOULD be in the same format as we take them now. I do remember Greg trying on the XL, though.

Do you think the jacket fit on Greg? Or did it look like he was wearing baby clothes?

Are you getting the black one?

Do I have to spell this out?

Naissance Grizzly, January 1 through February 18; Winter FCL, February 19 through April 8; Summer FCL, April 9 through September 20; Valstar Clint, September 21 through November 3; Valstar shearling, November 4 through December 31.

Edited for lack of attention to details.

Why are folks who seem to be normally L taking in L in Naissance when advice is to Japanese size up to XL? Asking because I’m same size and don’t have good luck with pre orders.
