i was just looking at that jil coat on aloha rag. bolied wool--is it warm enough for a winter jacket? im looking at either this: (this is boiled cotton) http://www.oki-ni.com/mens-jackets/b...vt/bbs0613blk/ or the rick scuba in bolied wool. i think its a better alternative to leather, but i havent had anything in BW. also i want to go with a bomber style jacket, as per the apc fiasco

Not that specific one but Jil coats i've seen are tts. If you wear a 40 in a suit, get a 40. It doesn't accomodate for much underneath though.
And no, the ones I've seen are nowhere near thick enough to withstand a snowy winter.

I have tried the second one and it definitely fits TTS.Originally Posted by Exalt
glad I asked (no returns on these). I was just hoping. I tried on a jil duffel (different one) and it was tts as well. tts all around it seems.
someone go get them, they are nice.

Does anyone actually like how this sweater fits IRL? I returned mine - it was a mess.

The aloha rag site has measurements for each item. Why not just go by that?
