Got my Blackmeans Rider in Large. Would appreciate some opinions on fit. I've never owned a leather so I'm not sure how it should feel on.
Do you guys account for stretch/break in?
With just a co mix u neck on it feels good in the arms and snug at the shoulders but not overly so.
Even though I don't ever plan to, I can zip it all the way up but not comfortably. It's tight in the chest.
I have broad shoulders and chest. So going a size up almost always results with the fit in the body being kinda boxy.
I feel like I'd only ever wear it layered if I went a size up (XL) but I could be wrong.

For reference

Looks really good on you. I think if you wore a more cropped shirt or more cropped hoodie it would look even better. The long t shirt and hoodie accentuate how cropped the jacket is. Have you checked out the loopwheel raglan full zip?

why do people want to button up the stadium wool anyways? they look so much better undone.

I personally think it looks good both ways. I can button mine up just fine and it looks good to me but to each their own.

Received this in the mail on Friday and wanted to share a pic. I’ve been wanting the shadow red button up for a while now so really hyped to have it.

red shadow plaid looks good ...i thought the brushed flannel was a little lacking in terms of "sharp" details...felt too grounded. so i didnt purchase it.

I have both and think they’re equally great. the shadow button ups are thin so can be worn in warmer months. The brushed flannels grey,bone & red are super soft and have a nice heavier weight to them. They will get a ton of wear this winter at work & off work. Can’t go wrong with both imo.

grey + bone flannel shows more overall details than red.

JE hasn't missed a mark on the SLP clones. Flannel, Varsity Etc. Both look great.

Quick fit pic from last night. I’ll take better ones soon. Hope this gives you an idea bro!

Looks big on you, maybe go down a size?
Whats your height/weight & size of bomber? Piece is awesome though.

I’m 5’9, 170. Jacket is a size 3 so my usual JE size. I have broad shoulders and it hits it perfectly. Sizing down might be a little tight in that area. The fill makes the sleeves puffy in the arms. It’s like that on the model too. Still appreciate everyone’s feedback!

Maybe you are really a medium in JE. And this whole time your shoulders have tricked you....

. I kid I kid

Haha, if they are, then my shoulders have a cruel sense of humor.

I never really considered it because of the overall looser fit and price is a bit more than I'd like to spend for a hoodie.
I checked out the measurements though and the length is about the same as the dual flash unless I size down.
Might try one of my Reigning Champ hoodies or break out an old W+H's hoodie because those are really cropped.

I’m a small in the loopwheel and a medium in the dual flash. It really is a well constructed piece though, but you should be good with the RG or W+H

Any drop tomorrow?
