Freewheelers and Co.

I'm getting more and more into this brand (the Redwood Hunting Jacket
). I just ordered an olive full zip sweatshirt from Fuji at The Wild One. -
@Chiba J. That button
Handled some FW goods yesterday and got me some nice shirts, i also tried on the CPO, its a beautiful CPO with all the authentic details. Tags are killer too. Unfortunately i was not happy with the fit on me and was kinda between sizes. Soaking wouldnt be an option for me in this case.
Meanwhile i give you some Stifel love
-
The cpo looks awesome…except it also looks long as shit! No go for me. Shame...
-
Yes its gorgeous in real life even more. The length isnt really a prob imo if you look at how the CPO is worn as an overshirt. think its a good length and i wasnt feeling it being too long when worn tbh but that depends of course on individual feelings too
My problems were more in the difference between 15 and 16 where 15 fitted me too slim for the way i want to wear a CPO and 16 looking bit too baggy in arms even when worn with a usual shirt under it. But again this shirt is killer
-
I'm right with you on the CPO Davito. I also don't think that the shirt is by any means too long, but I am, like you, between sizes. I've decided that next year I'm just going to opt for the smaller size (17) and wear it a bit more fitted. It'll still fit over a lightweight shirt.
Congrats on the Hammersmith and the wabashes! Great pickups. As you know, the Hammersmith is sized more like an overshirt. I love its details, for example the triple stitching and the antiqued buttons! And FW's wabash doesn't need any more praise than its already got. Best there is IMO.

-
Chiba thx Sir, yes details are killer all around
@veloaudio looking forward to your pics of your fullzip
-
^Yes, I went with 42 given there will be some shrinkage.

Full Zip Arrived today. The color is great. Here are my measurements (unwashed) for the Large:
P2P- 23"
Sleeve- 24.5"
Shoulder (seam-seam) - 21.5"
Length - 29"
Opening - 20" (above bottom stretch cuff)Now for pictures over my 21. Side shot shows that the body is big but there will be shrinkage (sorry the hood is angled toward the camera so it looks bigger than reality). Post wash measurements will be posted shortly.

Post Wash (Machine Gentle - Cold, Tumble Dry Low)
P2P- 22.5"
Sleeve- 23.5"
Shoulder (seam-seam) - 21"
Length - 26.5"
Opening - 19" (above bottom stretch cuff)
The sleeve measurement is very deceiving as the shoulder seams hang off my shoulders on to my arm (as shown in the pictures above).Overall I like the fit much better after the wash. Pictures tomorrow.
-
Honestly, to me, it looks kind of really long. Hopefully it shrunk a lot there!
-
Yes definitely! I love the olive.
-
The length was way too long but it did shrink almost 3". Much better now.
-
Nice fullzip @veloaudio do you have more pics?

Love that shirt Davito, great color combo and fit.
Today, my first piece of Freewheelers showed up from P&L and damn the quality is fantastic. My only concern is that it is probably a half-size large (sz42). I'm thinking I'll keep it and give it a hot soak, as I think the size below wouldn't be too tight with a flannel. What do you guys think?

With my 109
Sorry for the sub-par pics, the wife is out for a bit. Thanks in advance.
