That’s generally a personal preference though people from the US and of course riders like them a little longer. I think they look okay and you could get them shortened if you love everything about the jacket except that.

Anyone pick up or got to try on one of the shearling bombers from the new 3sixteen x Schott collab? https://www.3sixteen.com/blogs/news/schott-for-3sixteen-modified-b-6-bomber It looks pretty dope and I'm interesting in hearing peoples' impressions.
I tried it on when it was released. Candidly, I thought it was the worst of the collabs between 3sixteen and Schott. They took away all of the interesting elements of a B6 bomber, with the result being a mid jacket with zero personality.

Yes. That's everything but B-6. Not even close. B-6 genes are not recognisable.

Does the mmm 5-zip have a front or back drop, how tight are the armholes and is the overall fit kinda strait and longish or does it have any taper in the body?

Also, anyone know which years it came out in goatskin?

Tia.
I think each iteration might be slightly different but mine is longer in the back. Arm holes aren't tight, nice and comfortable. Not much of a taper either if at all . It's more of a looser jacket than a tight fit.

Yeah was doing more research and it seems each season or so the cut/fit varies a bit, but overall it’s always been a square/boxy pattern and mostly the sleeves and body lengths are the ones that vary.

I was kinda hoping if I sized down I could get a slimmer looking fit but most 44’s would still fit boxy on me, so currently considering a hh 5-zip that came out in a sz 42 for supposedly 1 season only in the men’s line (14) or just accept that the pattern doesn’t work for me.

I really like the jacket but I’m already a bit short and top heavy so I need either a big taper towards the waist or a slim straight fit on my leather jackets.
