Hi Guys - can anyone comment on Freewheelers sizing and fit?  I am eying up a Neal Cassidy chambray shirt and according to the sizing info I would be a size S…......though normally in most other brands I am an M or 38/40.

I have a couple of Neal Cassady shirts.  I think they're a size Large, and I'm normally an XL in Iron Heart.  Unfortunately I'm out of town right now.  I'll check when I get home on Friday, if that isn't too late.

thanks, I'de appreciate that!

Took me a couple of days to get back to this one.  Turns out the labels on both shirts are completely faded out, so I can't be 100% certain on the size.  I am pretty sure they're Large, though.  As I said, I'm pretty consistently an XL in Iron Heart shirts.

Fit on both is slim-ish, a bit more so than Iron Heart, even the westerns.  Construction quality is very good, as is the fabric.  My only minimal quibble is that the buttons are a bit flimsy feeling.  Perfectly functional, and I've had no problems with them at all, but they feel underwhelming.

Didn't end up ordering the Neal Cassidy shirt - but the good news is I just pulled the trigger on a Freewheelers deck jacket…....not from Japan, but in good used condition off Ebay........fingers crossed the damn thing fits!  Of course its summer here, but I just couldn't help myself.  It mean my just too small RMC deck jacket will be offered for sale soon.

Anybody have any experience with Freewheelers deck jackets?  The one I have ordered is a civilian model with D pockets and wool collar.

Brand new “ground crew jacket”. It’s awesome!

^ Jacket looks impressive. Post some inside & out along with some more detailed pictures if possible . . . .

Very impressive. All alpaca + Primaloft Gold… The color is a lot duller than on the pics.

The Japanese retailers have better detailed pics to be honest, see for example:

That jacket is awesome @JDelage did you order it from Japan?

[JDelage]

@chiverus - Yes.

Finally picked up the Flight Deck Crew Coat after a 4 week holiday with UK Customs - the wait was agonising - and a mahoosive charge for import duty and VAT ??? First impressions: this is almost too warm

Super cool jacket. I've lusted for it myself but decided it was too much for me. I got its little brother though.
