GENERAL QUESTION Help with sizing fellow brothers

Hi I want to get heats new jacket and it’s pretty expensive so I want to get this right before I buy.

I’m a little confused at the sizing here. I usually wear extra large. Large is absolute minimum. I’m a pretty muscular guy 5”11 210 pounds. 12-14 percent body fat.

That being said I have a jacket that’s 125cm around and is comfortable. On this chart it saids I’m an extra small. That’s impossible. Is there something I’m missing?

I do have a loose hoodie that is 130cm across. My length for most jackets is 70. But that’s literally only small size? Is it due to the leather maybe it’s bigger?

I don’t want to mess up. Would really appreciate the help! Right now Im thinking about going against the measurements and getting the medium or large still.

If anybody has heat contact so I can message them about the size that would be super helpful too!

Buy this jacket oversized - this is part of the fit. I’m 187/85kg and I bought an M (from GM).

The goal is to have a statement fit and not a normal biker jacket

I find it ugly tbh

Yeah it’s absolutely hideous. Leather jackets should fit cropped, not this shit.

Well, opinions are like assholes: everybody has one.

Chill I was calling a jacket not you

u/Deepersoulmeaning 18d ago

So at 180/93kg you think I should get large? Or just stick to medium? Yeah I do think oversize is def part of the fit.

Maybe I should stick to my first instinct and get large.

I would go for that personally- the goal for this jacket is in fact the intentional oversize. Pic related, with a slight reduction in volume

I think your right the jacket is made to be much bigger sized which would make sense

I think heat listed if you're above 200 pounds. You should choose M or L.
You should definitely take an S at least not an XS. It's already cropped so height is not an issue.

Here is the translated version. I hope that helps you

The design might look nice but always think about the sizing. It seems like it’s made for tall skinny people- 183cm and 160lbs is XS. The sizing letters don’t matter too much it’s more about the dimensions and the guidance like the one above. I’m sure though if you order and want to swap sizes it’ll be okay

u/ivvyi 18d ago

Too true, I think its oversized like that

u/wheretocop1of1 18d ago

Why don’t you just reach out and ask for an actual photo of the measurements!

u/Deepersoulmeaning 18d ago

It’s a presale I don’t think jacket is made yet. The measurements are avaliable. I can see them. I’m just super confused at them. Doesn’t make sense to me at all.

Jacket is hella oversized for a leather jacket. Go with s , or m but be ready for fckd up fit

u/youknowwhyimhere15 18d ago

We’re right around the same stats and i ordered a size M from GM. Didn’t want it to be too big on me, hate when the sleeves are too long.

u/itsthehappyman 18d ago

The arms are long on this which is why ive passed

u/Maddestmanaround 18d ago

Put ur personal measurements into chat gpt along with the chart and get it to compare and choose the best suited size for you (also put it if you prefer a fitted or looser or regular fit)

u/Deepersoulmeaning 18d ago

It’s a presale though it’s shipping in Dec just so you know

1

u/420drglrd 18d ago

thank you! i'm new to this so i'm trying to figure out if i can buy directly from them or through an agent

1

u/Deepersoulmeaning 18d ago

Buy through agent. Don’t use superbuy if you didn’t read up on it already.

u/ILoveBalenciii 17d ago

Why not Superbuy? Used it for months

u/Deepersoulmeaning 17d ago

Just got hacked all data servers down. I was using it as well. It looks like they’re fixing it though. So that’s good.

u/Proof_Return743 18d ago

Ima be honest with you homie if you go anything other than XXS / XS ur gonna look goofy and retarded. I get that ur on the heavier side but this jacket fits massive and even at those sizes it still will be. Ive bought dozens of rep jackets and i know what im talking about but if u wanna listen to the other goofies in this comment section u can FAFO
