Freenote Cloth Riders Jacket Fit question
Hey,
Recently picked up this piece to try at home, they only had the XL in stock and the next delivery was a couple of months out.
Do ya'll think it looks okay oversized or does it make me look like an idiot?

The jacket overall looks fine I’m just not sure about the sleeve length - do you have a picture with your arms dangling at your sides?
I have a jacket where it’s a good size but the sleeves are long so I’ve just left those sleeves permanently cuffed
So you don't believe it looks stupidly oversized?
Being tall and slim, my problem has always been finding a size that fits good across the body but having arms that's not too short
It depends what you’re going for.
Oversized blouson type jackets are “in” right now and this one doesn’t look too big on you for that look. Alternatively this type of jacket can be done to fit both shorter (cropped) and/or more slim.
The rest of the outfit you have on in the photos is a bit incongruous with the oversized jacket. It looks “fine” all together but I think this particular fit would be better with a more slim cut to the jacket.
I think the sleeve length is good as well.
I don’t think it looks oversized at all it looks like it fits you well. I mention the sleeves but also I like my sleeves a little shorter so like personal taste. If your concern is how it fits across your body/torso it looks great!
The length is throwing me. I think I tried on that jacket at S&S and I liked the slimmer/cropped cut I got when I went TTS
as people said it depends on the look you're trying to go for, but if you want a slim more form fitting fit, you could probably size 1 or even maybe 2 sizes down
looks like you have a lot of shoulder overhang of the seam, sleeves are too long, and have plenty of room in the chest that you could cut out
Yee I've made the decision to return it, sadly they didn't carry a smaller size at the moment.
Hopefully I'll find something likewise.
They also had the Filson Cruiser in Large so might try that.
Cant really go for a medium because my arms will look naked
I definitely think a large would look better on you! So agreed with the decision to return it.
Where are you located? There are lots of Freenote Rider jackets in stock at various retailers in the US & Canada. So the size/color combo you want should exist somewhere. There aren't as many international retailers though, so shipping could add up depending on where you're located.
I'm planning on getting the same jacket eventually, but am hoping to find one for ~$100 off full price if bought new, or >$200 off if bought used. So that will likely take a while. Very happy to live vicariously in the meantime and help you find the size & color combination you're looking for! I've gotten really good at searching for Freenote items across all the various retailers, so let me know.
Hey, I live in Sweden, found a European website that carried the jacket. Now though I've also looked at a model from Schaefer and Flint and Tinder which also looks good, so as of now I'm a bit conflicted. As long as I can find a jacket for September when temperatures usually drop over here!
Which color in the Freenote Riders jacket do you like best?
These sites have it in stock in size Large and ship free in Europe:
