That looks awesome.

I just got the last size L khaki to compare against my XL, have to wait 'til I get home to try it out with layers though. Man I love these jackets.

Also big thanks to Giles for putting up with all my annoying Qs..

Damn, they are flying out the door this year, last year not so much

[Giles]

Yep, and that is/what encouraged me under order this year….

Nice … rummaging for shoelaces

Congrats to all! Really wanted a large navy, but I'll have to enjoy the pics and wait for the next iteration!

So comparing the XL and the L today as I had a bit of time to mull it over..I can layer better in the XL (jumpers etc if required) but the sleeves are way too long and material is bunched at my bicep. The L still sits on jean pocket level and is otherwise much more fitted. Hurm! I'm sending one back tomorrow and I'm leaning towards the L but experiencing last minute doubt (read: all weekend decision!)

[FurattoHeddo]

I find the L suits you better. Good length, perfect sleeves. Deck jackets should look fitted (but not tight off course)…

L looks good especially considering that the jacket will never be hot washed/shrunk because of the wool and alpaca blend lining.

I rarely recommend the smaller size in scenarios like this, but in this case, I'd say get the Large.  It looks like it give you room to wear it over other things and I'd a better fit overall.

[Finkster]

Large

[spitfiredealer]

Large without a doubt

Looks great @Finkster - actually adds to the jacket!

How thick did you go? 5mm?

[Finkster]

^  4,5 mm

Thanks all for your feedback. I've sent the XL back.

@Finkster That looks superb.. I have to find one now.

One little question - the leather zip pull on mine is a bit dry, has anyone nourished theirs?
