That's what I was thinking.. So if we're normally a large do we size down to Medium?

That Rider's jacket looks insane. But if the model is 6'1" and wearing a Small, something's off with the sizing.
They most likely sized down the jacket for the model. You want leather "perfecto style" jackets to fit tight and have them conform to the wearer over time (thus typically sizing down one size than you would normally buy). His true size probably looked ill fitting on him

Right, completely agree. But what I'm saying is if someone shorter than 6'1" wants the fit the model has, they simply cannot buy it.

Gotcha. They usually offer x-small in their size runs... weird

i would say so, I was talking with Cody who works for JE, and he told me that John Elliott himself usually wears Medium in most of the pieces, but for the Rider, John is wearing Small .

Hey guys, I'm new to the forum but I had a question about the sizing for the villain hoodie.
I'm normally a large in most hoodies. I also wear XL in other brands. I wasn't sure what size to get in the villain though....
I'm 6'2'' and 190 pounds, kind of skinny. Thanks in advanced
