Does anybody have size experience with this current model?
I've read a few different opinions - size down, size up, and TTS.

I would say it is TTS

Is the returns form not working? I am not getting any labels, its just spinning forever.

Seems to be working fine when I try it here.
Perhaps try to use another browser?
If not email Robin at [email protected] and he will sort it out.

If I try again it just says I've registered the return already. I have not gotten any labels (not on mail or anything either).

I used the contact form on your website, is that the same email?

Crappy lighting on a shot of my still-untailored mod 2 that I got a couple months ago. Love a lot of the details on the jacket so much, but the fit just isn't quite right on me. I wonder how I'd look going a size up... might help with the length + shoulder fit. Anyone have any thoughts?

^^^ Looks just fine in terms of sizing, not sure what else you are considering to be the problem.

It's a definitely short (maybe tough to tell here due to dark pants, but it's about 2cm short of making it to the fork of my pants/covering my butt), and the shoulders are a bit narrow relative to the size of my hips, giving me less of a "V" than I usually want out of a jacket.

Don't have as much as experience as some on here, but to me, it looks a little short, and tight in the chest and midsection. The buttoning point also seems high for you, maybe.

Just took receipt of the Loro Piana Summer hopsack. Great fabric but I noticed faux buttonholes were added whereas my previous Mod 2 jackets did not have these. I typically have to lengthen the sleeves. Anyone know if taking out the faux buttonholes is possible or will it ruin the underlying fabric?

@kevinsvindland has said that they specifically use faux buttonholes to allow for easier alterations, which I really appreciate, so your tailor should have no problem.
