There’s one of these in „as new“ condition on German eBay for only 950€, if someone is interested.
If only it was my size

It’s a 40 (L?)

Well, I got mine today, or actually the second one… originally got it in L thinking I could pull it off, but I basically would have had no wiggle room if I put on any kind of weight, and well… I'm getting older, so dadbod is real, actual dad or not

XL fits like a dream, though. What a beautiful jacket, will post some pics when I can — thanks @Max Power and @Chap for giving me a little back n' forth on size questions

Max Power

Happy to hear that @popvulture

Can I please have some feedback on the fit here? Thanks guys.

It looks big to me…

Giles

What's it like with the side gussets zippered?

jeffrx

@Giles it’s not bad with the side zippers done, snug but do-able. My main concern is the arm length seems just a bit long, but as others have said it might improve a little with creasing. There’s no way I could size down due to my dad bod.

Giles

Without meaning to be rude, that is what I am thinking. As you say, the arms will improve with creasing, but they are pretty long. Probably perfect on a bike....but......

jeffrx

Thanks!

Yet another fit pic type of question. First impression is that it's bit too roomy at least with only t-shirt. On the other hand I'm afraid I can't loose any sleeve length as I planned to use it for riding also.

All feedback is welcome!

Looks great maybe a bit long in body, how does it feel sitting down?

DrPat

Shoulders, length, and sleeves, and waist look perfect.

I don’t think the chest looks too big either.

nilsson

Thanks, it feels a bit long when sitting but opening side gussets help. I'll have to try it on with more than just a t-shirt also but in picture there seems to be quite much room in the back.

Dmart

The arms look good to me, especially riding. Shoulders could be a bit narrower, body a bit shorter and more trim. It depends however how you like to wear it. I like them rather snug.
