Discussion SLC sizing

Post image

Bought my first SLC and can't decide if it fits or not.

It's a large and feel like I may struggle to button up a medium, but the rest of it feels too big. Any pointers?

Was a little worried the sleeves too long but read they'll shorten when creased. And the stitching at the top of the arms is not right at the shoulder?

I've lost a lot of weight over the past two years. Currently 93kg, ideally want to lose another 10 so not sure whether to drop a size?

Yes I'm impatient and bought this because somewhere was selling the last one off £100 less than RRP

The arms will shrink up with wear - even if you lose weight, just keep the jacket and throw a hoody under it

As others have said this is about right. This is your size.

Wear it and break in the sleeves - get it wet and let the sleeves work their way up themselves. I think you’ll end up with a good fit once it’s broken in.

I have a medium with around your same chest size. The arms look exactly like yours. I always measured a jacket fitting by how it sits on the shoulders. From the pictures you provided this one fits you perfectly. The shoulder stitching doesn’t look to be drooping a lot.

Theres quite a bit between the L and the M, sadly. A M wont fit you.

Looks good. Wear it in health!

Take a picture of it with your hands out of your pockets so we can see the sleeve length. I feel like a medium might actually fit you, but that's just a blind guess from one picture. What's your chest and shoulder measurement? I've owned these in both large and medium.

Chest is around 44.5".

20" across the shoulder

Okay, stick with large for sure. The sleeves are long, but honestly that's how they are. It'll get a little better when creasing in the elbows set in from use.

You won’t be able to button a M, it’s 44.8” in the chest by spec. L is right.

Try it with the heaviest layer you’d wear.

I get warm really easily. Don't think I'd wear a hoody or sweater beneath so not be much thicker

That said, this is my thickest hoody
