Got the Stadium Jacket... love it! Great fit and quality. Leather is thick but the jacket is not insulated so it can be worn in warmer climates. In the pic, not wearing it with right outfit but want to give everyone a quick review.

nice! can't wait for mine to arrive, do you mind me asking what size you went with and if you went TTS?

Really really would love to see some Parachute jacket fit pics, especially with a hoodie underneath. Could be wrong but I don't think I've seen any so far.

Tried one on yesterday but didn't take pictures so I hope you can visualize. I'm 5'11 160lb athletic build for reference.

Wore a size M black kake (I wear M in villains and tees), tried on a Large alpine parachute. Not super slim, but not baggy either. Normal fit. Sleeves are a good length, but the cuffs were cut a little big and the elastic doesn't collapse enough. Thin material. I'd say the overall look of the fit is very similar to the panelled flight jacket as pictured here:

Hope that helps

So you sized up for the Parachute Jacket? Did you get to try a size M as well?

Well, I was already wearing a **slightly** oversized kake hoodie, so the thought of trying on a size M didn't cross my mind. Looked great sizing up with a hoodie underneath. Didn't look too baggy or slouchy. Trying on the medium would've probably made the kake all bunched up.

i love em...i have the oak and just picked up the black.
its perfect for me cause im in houston and don't need to layer
.i have the similar stats ^ and i got a medium.

the main reason i like the bomber is the fit is awesome and i love the thick/high neck collar
Isn't it way too hot in Houston for even that jacket?

I'd like to get my hands on a parachute jacket but I almost feel like it wouldn't be worth it without that liner that they paired with it in the FW16 show. I loved this look so much.

thanks for the fit pic. for some reason the stitching/line details that are on the shoulders do not do it for me. I'd prefer it to be cleaner and without.

The garment layered below is the Bolivia Reversible Fullzip and will be available in Delivery 3.

Opinions on the cast 2 skittles? I've thinking about pulling the trigger on these for awhile now. Don't know if I can justify spending $398 on a pair of white jeans but they're just too cool and unique. Maybe I can be fully convinced if someone responds to this with positive remarks. I'm a size 32 so if I do decide to get them should I size down to a 31 or 30? Keep in mind my legs are more on the athletic size. Not huge but not like sticks.
