@Brandrea yes, I would agree that looks a little too roomy. Looking forward to the fit pick on the XL.
The XL just arrived … the sleeve length is much better and I think it looks a bit trimmer through the body.
Of course it feels more snug through the chest and shoulders, but not overly so …
What do you think?

@goosehd thanks, re info. Could only find size I'm looking for in the French site. Awaiting a reply from them. Don't want to ship from US.

@Brandrea well worth the exchange. Great fit you got there
Thank a lot. I’ve never owned one of these before, so getting the sizing right was a bit tricky. Appreciate your feedback!

much better, that's your size. if you're not riding motorcycles you could even get the sleeves slightly shortened.
Thank you! I’m not a rider, but the sleeves don’t bother me. I agree much better than the XXL. Appreciate the feedback!

@Brandrea spot on fit with the XL and I'm super happy for you to own this jacket. The collar when buttoned up (on my vest it takes effort) delivers amazing warmth in the coldest temps. I also love the "funk" that oiled garments take on with age. it may be certain oils that smell more than others, but you will always get a hint of something as it breaks in over the years.

That’s fantastic to know Jordan! Thanks so much for the kind words. I’m really happy to own this piece.

@Brandrea you have absolutely nailed it with that one. The XL looks perfect to me. I hope you are happy with it, you should be!
Thanks very much, I really do appreciate your help here. You may not think of it as such, but your comments really helped me make a much more informed decision.
I love this thing …. Now bring on the cold weather !

@Brandrea delighted to have been of any help.
What a weird bunch we are on this forum that we welcome the cold weather so much!

ive gone over the sizing but i still wanted to ask for an opinion - if i wear a medium in a normal levis denim type III, and i want the N1 to be more slim fitting, would a small likely work for me? in pictures of similarly sized guys ive seen wearing mediums, the top area looks pretty baggy. again, ive checked the sizing out and i know nobody will be able to magically tell me what will work but was just hoping for an opinion is all from those familiar with how levis type IIIs fit. for reference im 5'10" 160.
-
@darbycrash I’m betting a medium would fit you to a T.
Look at the measurements carefully though, and let them be your guide.
-
5'10" 175ish here and the L is a good slim/trim fit for me. It's super comfortable with a t/flannel. There is enough room to layer a hoodie but it's a little snug in the shoulders at that point. I would say I have an "athletic" build with a few too many trips to the local cafe thrown in for good measure,
-
I must say i'm loving mine and it arrived just in time as it has been getting a little colder lately.
What i particularly like is the alpaca lining feels a lot softer in this version than the older standard N1 i have, which is nice (not that the older one is uncomfortable or anything, but this new oiled one is just noticeably softer)
