Hi! I remember reading that this jacket is cut towards the slimmer end of production tolerance. Would you agree with that? Is it noticeably slimmer through the chest than a typical 38 slim in the Neo cut?

Hello. Not in this case. One of the reasons I am selling is because it is a bit loose. I am 5’7 and 165. There is also cloth room to expand it further. I can try to put some pictures about how it fits me if that helps.

Huh, that's fascinating. I'm 5'8 and 150, and the 38 slim fits me very well, but is definitely quite trim. I don't think I could wear anything cut slimmer than a standard 38 slim, hence my question. Is 38 slim your normal size? What's your chest measurements?

I'm not really sure if I want to go for this, though. S&M themselves were just selling this for 240 USD before it went out of stock. I wouldn't want to pay any more than that, or I'd rather just save my money and wait for the new season drops.

I'd expect it to look a bit longer on a 5'7 frame. What is the back length measurement, if you don't mind?

I don’t mind at all. Back length about 78cms. I’m actually 172cm tall. Yes. You can always wait for the next season. I’m also offering a brown houndstooth in another ad. If you are talking both I’m open to offers. Cheers.

I think I'll hold off a bit and see what the new season brings. Maybe I'll get back to you in the future if you haven't found a buyer yet. Cheers!
