TOJ - updates on the debacle, complaints, news about other ventures, whatever.

I'm about a 42 chest, 5'11", 165. In person you can still see my delts coming out of the jacket. That's not a big deal, as I'm used to a slimmer fit, but if I raise my arms, you can see that the midsection is way too big. (A relaxed fit should be proportional too)

I don't think i'm being that anal, it just drapes funny in person. If I posted a picture of my torso, I think it might be understandable why I am so particular

with those specs, you must have a ~10" drop or more, so hard to expect it to fit up top and have it hug you all the way down--taper would be extreme. think it looks fine.

Drew, out of the handful of compliments I got yesterday, many mentioned that they loved the shoulder gusset detail.
Random feedback, but probably useful!

Yeah, like DBear asks, what's your drop? Do you have like a 32" waist?

 

[afixedpoint]

I usually wear 30 bottoms, I think actual waist and mid measurements i used for the leathers are 32", 29"

I posted a 50 earlier, the body on the 50 actually looked fine, but the top was way too small

Here is the way it is if you have a big drop and want to wear slim fitting clothing..

Three ways of going about it..

- Very tight upper and fitted torso

- Snug upper and loose torso

- Fitted upper and very relaxed torso


Clothing shaped to have a fitted upper AND torso on someone with a big drop does not look good - definitely off-putting.


I usually go for the second with rider/moto jackets. The last with ribbed models.

Bro do you even.... never mind.

I guess the 50 would be closest to the first, the 52 would be closest to the third...I usually just wear knits and sweatshirts ha

I am not even that hardcore in the gym! (especially compared to the Charly beast) I was just born with a small midsection

 

[mrchariybrown]

I will say that heavy deadlifts and squats will make jackets fit better by thickening up the core if your waist is too skinny. But that's a whole 'nother topic of conversation lol

 

[afixedpoint]

I have not barbell benched in months my man, I deadlift and front squat religiously though, do a lot of L-sits and windshield wipers

 

[mrchariybrown]

More calories + heavy 2x5 beltless squats and deadlifts

Went in on a black/sand tan TOJ0 stock 52 (lengthened sleeves) -- bailed out on the black/dark yellow, don't have enough swag.

SOME ONE PLEASE ORDER THE BATMAN! IT NEEDS TO BE DONE! THOSE YELLOW SNAPS!

Signed a new client at work, ordered a new ToJ (sorry for being a pain *********** Charly!) and have finally set up my new sound system.

A good day.
