Shetland Gun Check Field Jacket in XS. Seems to fit me well, but chest feels a tad smaller than last years. Definitely very tweed-y feeling. Opinions?
Looks good! The slim silhouette suits you well. Do you still have enough room in the chest for some layering? They're definitely smaller than the previous FW version. The size chart is updated and correct now, showing that they're almost a full size smaller in the chest and shoulders than before. I had to go up a size. At least the tagged sizes makes more sense now.
That shetland gun check pairs really nicely with denim. I agree that they're a very rough tweed, though. Way too scratchy to be worn over just a t-shirt (or even a thin button up or sweater). You need a collared shirt or turtleneck to protect your neck as well. The rough fabric really highlights the need for partial lining or at least sleeve lining. Hopefully that can be added for future FW field jacket runs.
