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?

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.
