Hard to get a good read on the fits of these pieces bc the models are wearing them out of box. Normal clothes it wouldnt matter but with something so heavy, they look very blousy. Looking forward to more pics when you guys get around to it.

I don't want to judge before all facts are in (You are so right with the out of box comment), but having it for half a day (and wearing it constantly) I can say that they definitely run on the larger side. I have M in most of my IH stuff and here even the S that I went for is roomy. An XS with longer sleeves (that they don't do yet) would bring it to the trim fits we associate with IH.
We are dealing here with true workwear cut that allows for comfortable movement no matter what. Layering will be no problem whatsoever. -
Ahhhh the way Filson USED to be

The fabric and stitching is way better when You compare it to Filson, but the roomy cut is reminiscent of their older cuts, kind of like Carhartt.

Agreed @Anesthetist every model they have on their website looks like they are wearing 2 sizes up from how i would want it to look.
-
@jordanscollected I agree. Every fit I have seen here so far looks 100x better than their site.

@TelemarkTumalo that is a very handsome jacket and you wear it well

My experience on fit. I'm a medium fit in most jackets with 38" chest. I ordered the small based on recommendation from Heat Straps. Small is listed at 48" chest measurement made for layering and generous back gussets.Just ideal and gives me ample room to layer when the temps really drop, but still fine with just a t-shirt when not terribly cold.

Lets get a full fit @Karol !

@Karol thanks for sharing about Heat Straps - I've not heard of them. How is your Chief coat breaking in? Looks great
-
@Inorganic I finally have some updates.
Its this fall and winter when I started to really use the Chief Coat regularly. And I realized this is really a coat for a cold weather. Just as @TelemarkTumalo prophesized a year ago.
Its especially exceling in cold AND wet weather - Its raining most of the time when I pick this one. I think of it as a something I would go for if it is to warm for IH oiled N1 deck jacket but I still don't want the rain/snow and wind to affect me.
I cant really get pictures that would better show how it fits. The ultimate ones are by You @TelemarkTumalo
