Yeah, can anyone confirm if that Brad Jacket fits better than it looks to fit by the model?


I've owned a couple Belstaff Jackets, and well despite the shift of production to Italy they aren't all that slim fitting-- Although that appears to changing this coming season. I suspect that they sized that Brad one size too big for that model. Worth taking a chance if you like the style and color.

N/M BRAD APPEARS TO FIT VERY SLIM! The model probably sized two sized too big!

I think i'm going to pick up a Krane Jonas too. Anyone want to help me decide between black and brown? I'm worried black might look too trench coat mafia style.

Measurements at Mr Porter.

One warning about the Brad.
I ordered one about 2 years ago in my usual size. It was so tight I could barely get it on my shoulders.
A few months ago I tried one on in store and it was tight even going up a size. I tried one two sizes up and it was still comfortably snug but the arms were ape like in length.

I think, but am not sure, those were the Old Brad models.
I have no idea how the New Brad fits although going by the Porter measurements they seem to have become more normal.

That jacket looks so weird that short. It's like someone accidentally put their Trailmaster in the dryer and only the body shrank three sizes.
