As the Alexander thread is closed, I thought I might post this here.
Got this C3 for a steal from Giles and I like the fit a lot.
Construction looks super solid and the shearling is beautiful. I cant wait for the cold!

@Anesthetist nice! Ironically enough I just stumbled across something on their outlet page and did something wholly irresponsible. I truly have zero self control. Maybe it won't fit…

Those are my favorite kind of purchase! Post plenty of pics when it arrives, the almanac is supposedly calling for a cold and wet winter [emoji3]

Holy shit, it's already here.
I'm at work, but I took a few quick fit pics, looking for opinions:
I'll try to post better pics tonight when I'm off work. My only real concern is the bulk in the back on the last pic. Not sure if that will settle down once it breaks in, or if it needs to be (and CAN be) tailored, or if I need a smaller size. I'd like the upper arms to be slimmer also but I can probably live with that. Opinions?

More fit pics

Well, the straps were pretty cinched up when it arrived, I actually loosened them a bit.

Correct. And I've adjusted them a bit more since I took the second set of pics. It's not quite as slim fitting as I was hoping for from the armpits to the waist, or in the upper arms. I don't know if that will change with wear. I was hoping for a fit like @ben2t has on his in the Alexander Leathers thread, he ended up sizing down from the first size he ordered if I remember correctly. I'd quote his post for reference but the thread's locked.
It was a great deal from the outlet section on their website, but I want to make sure I'm happy with the fit in the end. And everyone is free to call me crazy if you think the fit is perfect.

Second set of pics look better. What are you planning on wearing it with? Maybe see what it's like with a tee v an UHF? What size did you end up with?

I'll wear it with anything from a t-shirt to an UHF to a decently heavy hoodie underneath. I've tried it on with the hoodie, and it looks a bit better but still could be a touch slimmer. I'd sacrifice a bit of comfort while wearing the hoodie underneath for a better fit with a t-shirt though. It's a 44, p2p measurement was listed as 22.5" which I haven't confirmed but it seems about right. IMHO if it had a bit more taper to the body and a bit less bulk in the upper arms it would be perfect. I'm considering sending it back for modifications or one built more to my specs if either are possible, but like I said, I'm open to the possibility that I'm nuts and the fit is fine as-is. I was just picturing a slimmer fit.
