You did a real good shirt review bro. Literally one of the best iv seen. Amazing . I looked at ur page to see if you had more on quality clothing reviews. I didnt see alot. Please make more on outdoor/ work clothing. Boots, vests, pants ect I live in MN. The first thing im going to ask is, how does it hold up against water. I've been learning (like most) about material differences. Let us know what advantage they have. I personally want like a shirt jacket? Duck canvas maybe?, comfortable linening/cuffs. That iron heart was prety cool. Man i really liked it. Like darker colors.

I'm 5'9" (175 cm), 150 pounds (68 kg), with a 39" chest and started with the small. Perfect, tailored fit over a t-shirt or similar, but gets tight with anything thicker. I eventually bought a medium to layer over a hoodie and it works, but yeah, loads of room even then. Flat on a table and buttoned the armpit to armpit on the small is 20". The medium is 22". I found a waxed rancher in small on eBay and it is cut a tad bigger to accommodate a layer (and it is a warmer coat) without the extra space.

Thanks for this, really appreciate showing how the different layers fit underneath, and how you went into detail on the sizing. I've tried the Rogue Territory Supply jacket but I just can't get the sizing quite right - it's definitely cut for a specific body type. Looking forward to the video on the sweater!

I want down this same journey with this jacket. I’m 5’ 11’ 190lbs and a 44” chest ( this is important on the size chart on F&T) I originally got a Large based on the web sights size chart and it was just too loose in the body and especially in the sleeves. I exchanged for a Medium, and it fits just like your medium. Perfect. I can still layer a sweater underneath and button up the coat with it only feeling slightly snug but not uncomfortable. I would agree and go true to size on this bad boy. I’ve had it for a couple of months now, and am so happy I picked it up. Cheers mate!

I'm 187cm and 95kg and I have a size L. Fits well, like your size M. Not a lot of room for layering. At first I was afraid it was too small, but after a couple of wears it became a bit looser.

@DecoyJeff 7 ай бұрын

5'6" 135lb 36" chest. This puts me at the border of a XS and a S according to their measurement chart on the site. I ordered a XS and it fits perfectly and I used the same thought process as Cameron. It's never hot enough in Australia to layer so a more tailored XS is perfect for me. Although I can fit a thick hoodie underneath and button up somewhat snuggly if I choose to. I normally wear a XS anyway so at least in my case, the jacket is true to size. My #1 tip for sizing is to first measure your chest and then compare yourself to the models in the "Fit My Fit" section on the site's jacket page. Just by comparing your build (height/weight) and chest (the product of your combo of height/weight), you can semi-confidently guess your size based on the pictures. And of course the "MEASUREMENT CHART" section with all the detailed chest measurements of each size is absolutely handy.

@CounterC 6 ай бұрын

The large is very valuable in cold weather for layering. The large does not look too baggy on you, especially when worn over a hoodie or a bulky sweather. In my opinion, the medium looks too tight unless you only intend to wear a single tee shirt underneath. A 6 foot tall person does not need to have a beer belly to require a large. If you have broad shoulders and a muscular chest, the medium is too small. Although this being said, Flint and Tinder waxed trucker sizing can be very frustrating to figure out. Your video is very helpful in this regard.

@nmoddentity8401 5 ай бұрын

I'm roughly the same height and weight and have the medium. It's tough to layer much partly because of the flannel lining in the sleeves. But with a t-shirt or light layer it works very well.

I'm 6'3, I ordered the 3XL classic fit version, and it fits like a dream. So, if your height is between 6'2 and 6'4, the 3XL is the way to go, and Huckberry will be helpful in getting you your right size.

I’m 6’ and 189 lbs. I recently got one of the these on Large since that’s what I wear usually for tops. I have a 44-45” chest size and the large was too snug with just a t-shirt and I felt it more while driving. I had to exchanged it for XL but now the sleeves are a bit longer but the chest fits nice and I have a room for layering. I think the right sizing is based on the chest size…

Thanks for the video, I’m dealing with the size decision with small and medium tan and coal jackets. I like the fit of the small better, but I’m finding that the buttons near the top of the jacket when open, come together and the jacket fans out towards the bottom at the front, it’s pretty annoying, have you found this to happen too?

@Christopher_Stead 7 ай бұрын

I have the medium in forest colour, and it's probably my favourite jacket ever. The only downside is that even in cold-ish weather, I can't walk long distances without sweating up a storm. The lining and the wax application really doesn't allow it to breath all that well. But it looks rugged as hell :)

5'9", usually waver between 170 - 175 lbs., around 40 - 42" chest. Most often go for medium in shirts. When I first bought a medium, I was at my heaviest, and wasn't happy with how tight the jacket fit. I bought a large, but a year later and skinnier, and I'm unhappy with how long it feels in the length of the sleeves and body. I'm probably going to get it tailored, hopefully I can find someone skilled who can crop the length for me.

Sizing remains one of the biggest potential nightmares for mail-order, especially, as you say, when importing from outside of UK. I just made a major mistake buying Wonder Looper direct from Japan for a L zip-up, which is so oversized that I cannot wear it (I'm 6ft & 200lbs) Its VERY American sizing, but the expense of import fees and now having to return it for an exchange means this is going to cost about £400 or more, just for a hoodie. I thought I had the measurements about right and something was telling me from decades of experience of alternating between L & XL that I was safe with Large as I have never been a medium in my life; wrong. It's a great hoodie, but it was only because the stockists in the UK didn't have Indigo colour way that I ordered this one directly. Even quite recently I ordered XL t-shirts from Huckberry (their great Proof label), plus the expensive t-shirts from Unbound Merino from Canada. The Huckberry shirts are a great fit, but the Unbound Merino ones are like a tent and unwearable for me. The taxes were a killer, so it was a £270 mistake and just a write off.. So, as per this helpful video Cameron, a real focus on sizing really helps, even though many of us are of inbetweener builds and it will mostly never be perfect. Cheers.

@CameronO 7 ай бұрын

Sorry to hear mate. The import fees are crazy to the UK these days. I think with these oversized items you could look at selling them on Markkt or something like Reddit /rawdenim. Or even the Iron Heart Forums, they have a for sale section for other items. Also, this is a bit of a faff, but there are certain ways to send items back without the return import fees. I've done it before, there is a form and it basically says you're returning a faulty/defect item for repair etc.. Then when they send it back it comes through without fees. - Something like this: www.gov.uk/guidance/pay-less-import-duty-and-vat-when-re-importing-goods-to-the-uk-and-eu#claim-relief I've done it before with a watch, not sure it works with clothes
