Any of you guys having sizing issues with the Midnight Camo polar fleece?

I bought a L and XL to compare. The Large fits well on the fleece side but is way too tight on the nylon reverse side. XL is the opposite. Fleece looks a little big but the reverse fits perfectly. I don't have them on me but will need to post sizing pics for reference. Debating if I should just go with a L since I doubt I'll use the nylon side often.

Re-posting my previous comment. For those who own the polar fleece, what size did you go with and do you use the reverse side much? TYIA!

I got sz m & l from ssense and returned both. Maybe it's an unpopular opinion but the wash was way less impressive in person vs. JE's product photography
Oh really. Yeah we know JE photos can sometimes. I see sell and item

Yeah, I get it; product photography is part of the marketing vertical haha.
I also thought that the yuba thumper would be like the kichi with shearling, but the neckline is a corduroy-like material. The inside of the jacket is padding too, it's not denim. Definitely a warm fall (or los angeles-winter) piece.

TTS. If you have the fleece size inside it will be tighter. Just the nature of the jacket. Also I’ve noticed the fit of certain fleeces being slightly different but not by too much. Different patterns have different material composition for whatever reason.

The JE fleeces are cool, nothing amazing. You’re paying more for the pattern/uniqueness.

Yeah I’m here for the cord collar is padding. I’m in the cold Midwest. I remember Ralph Lauren made a jacket like this years ago (not padded). Maybe I’m chasing the ghost of that lol

It’s fire a jacket bro I think you will like it. has similar fit to the dale thumper. The color is a lil darker in person but still nice.. reminds me of an old carhartt work jacket ..

I know a lot of us are upset about the cut from the foggy 2, but isn’t it the same as the last boucle sweater? That **** was mad cropped as well.

Thanks for the feedback. This is specifically the midnight camo fleece. Do you wear the fleece inside often? Because half the reason I copped was for the reversibility, but I'm thinking maybe just stick with a L since I'll probably mostly wear it fleece outside.

I don’t own the midnight camo, but I doubt there’s much difference between last season’s fleeces and this season’s

I don’t wear the fleece lining inside. I actually wish the entire jacket was fleece and not reversible. I purchased the fleeces more for the unique patterns so wearing them inside is pointless for me.

You should stick with TTS.

Yeah that’s what I’m looking for. The old carhartt joint. Do you have pics?
