So the Schott Goatskin Perfecto came in, what do you guys think. First two photos are M, second two are L.

L

Hmm, I was leaning more towards the M

I'd say L as well, but helpful hint for fit pics is to take them on the opposite side, or at least not w/ a window or large light source right behind you. That's why everything you want us to see is dark AF.

imo guys always look better in clothes that are slightly too big, rather than slightly too small.

zipped, the M looks too tight and uncomfortable on you. also, the broader shoulder line on the L looks more flattering for the rest of your figure.

Was thinking the same thing. Just switch places with the camera. I think Body length on the L is better. How's it feel? Is goat heavy? I kept hearing how heavy the 3Sixteen version was and wondered if this was the same material.

Build quality and the goat skin suede both feel fantastic, also has a wool herringbone lighter which I didn't realize when purchasing, makes its a perfect jacket for warmer winter days or as the seasons change. For well under $600 I think it's an absolute steal.

Anyway, the L feels slightly more comfortable, but wearing it makes me feel like i'm borrowing my older brothers jacket and trying to be cool, whilst the M is just a touch snug in the shoulders, but I do think it will stretch a touch. Ideally it would be perfect if the M had an extra inch in both length and shoulders.

First 2 are M, last 2 are L

I would still do L, but the M looks better in those photos than the first set.

TBH, I think the slim fit trend has just pushed guys' taste way too far to the slim side of the spectrum.

Shoulders fit better in L and your whiteboard suggests they may get bigger

i agree, the large looks better to me based on the pictures

L looks still more flattering IMO. Drapes better, shoulders look way better.

M might stretch, but I think it will still accentuate your hips.
