RE: IH-101-JV - 18oz Vintage Selvedge Denim 1946 Type Rider’s Jacket - Indigo
Hi, first time post here.
I bought this jacket a few months ago and I'm curious if anyone else has had a similar experience with the fit. I'm 5 9, 155 lbs 30 waist. I bought a medium (38) and the jacket fits me great in the chest/shoulders/length/waist, enough to wear a small layer under if I want. However, the forearms and elbows of the sleeves are tighter than any jacket I've worn. Bending the arms or holding them forward squeezes the hell out of my forearms and inside elbow. Painful! I've even got the arms wet and wore it to stretch them but that didn't really work. Probably worn the jacket about a dozen times. I looked at the size chart and realized this jacket is at least .2in smaller in the sleeve measurement than any other jacket on the site. I have the 21oz vest that I wear almost everyday in a 38 also which obviously doesn't have the sleeve problem lol.. I don't have huge arms or wrists.Any thoughts? Do the sleeves stretch? Maybe I'm posting this is the wrong spot.
Thanks! -Joe
