Please put me down for one of these

Glad to hear this one is coming back.  Making room in my closet as we speak.

Hey guys,

Here is my first ever denim jacket and I thought I would ask your opinion on the fit. How does it fit on me?

Thanks.

Can you button it? Are you interested in buttoning it? Otherwise, I like a good trim fit on a trucker jacket, so it looks pretty good. Sleeves could be a little longer, but they don’t look too short.

Looks fantastic in the pics. In fact it looks more like s traditional type III fit, which in my opinion is where it is at.

[cooldude_abe]

Thanks @sabergirl yes I could button it up but prefer the unbuttoned look. I could also layer it over a hoodie but it becomes a little too close-fitting. I was a bit concerned with the length of the waist.

Thanks @neph93, yes I will rock with it when the temperature is a little cooler here in Perth.

Do you feel it is too long or too short? To my eyes it looks great.

This jacket it one of the longest type III’s IH do. I don’t own one because I have to size up for broad shoulders and chest and the jacket gets very long as a result.

Yours looks to be at the sweet spot.

Yeah I thought it was a little short, but it could just be me without knowing exactly how a denim jacket should fit. But I have had some positive feedback so far on this forum. I am quite comfortable with the fit now. Here is another photo with a hoodie underneath. It doesn't look very tight at all and doesn't restrict any mobility.

Thanks for the input.

That is definitely not too short…..

+1 definitely not short @cooldude_abe In the Goldilocks zone for sure.

Too Short?

In order to make up for the smaller than usual waist sizing I've noticed in the OD jackets, I sized up however, the length was a little more than I had expected…

I've started with some images of other denim jackets I've own as comparison.

[Kasi]

Yeah that how they should be… as expected

[going_to_battle]

It doesn’t look bad, but I think I prefer the slightly shorter cut on the first few jackets.

[neph93]

These are intended to be longer than other type III’s. Different look to your other jackets but it still fits, and suits you very well.

I have type III’s in a variety of lengths and all serve a purpose and work well with different cuts of jeans, or different layering options.

I think the only problem here is that @BrianA looks too good in that jacket!

Yeah man, like neph said, I have shorter and longer type IIIs.  Some look great over a T, some look better over another shacket.  They all look good.  And, the sleeve on your Lod looks perfect.  I think going with a smaller size would mean a sleeve that's too short.

Wear with confidence!

RESTOCK

[profdbrk]

Would anyone like to compare this jacket with the 22oz OD without pockets?  Anyone (crazy enough to) have both?  (I could be that crazy, just not yet.)  I'm inclined to wait for the shorter in length/no pockets 22oz version.  Is that one being restocked in sight of this one?  That would make it more fun and torturous to decide.
