In my experience with clothing, one thing I learned to do is get a size bigger. I'm so thankful that I did. Sometimes exact sizes end up smaller than expected. I don't blame you for being bummed. I would be, too.
Dude rocking my style and going through what I am going through, same size and everything. I am glad I found this video. I want to order a custom made of my favorite Varsity jacket.
i have one of these jackets with red wool & grey leather sleeves, but im planning to dye the wool and further customize it. As a woman it fits me nice and the bulky style is cute. I got size medium quilted interior so its interesting to see the difference of how a man and woman prefers fit so i feel like this video has helped me expand my considerations when fashion designing. Thank you ☺✔ quality content
I mean well it looks perfect on you bro. I'm not sure what you don't like about it I mean I know you're saying what you don't like in the video but it looks great on you. It looks like it fits perfectly.
That's actually the right fit for you. If you want the arms taken in then get it altered .. but varsity jackets are supposed to fit the way its fitting on you.. but never do the hoodie portion.. just go with the regular collar.. the waist is supposed to be an at the top of the pants look..
I got my jacket on another site and I got it a size bigger by accident but I think yours fits perfectly. It's just a different fit, the classic fit is thicker and bigger on the shoulders, sleeves and back because they're originally made for highschool athletes like football players with broad shoulders and all, the one you want is slim fit but I haven't seen a site that does slim fit letterman's, most of them do the classic style letterman. I got mine from Letter custom which is the cheapest site I found with quality jackets and letters.
SIR_Pierre yeah the guy from the site recommended small but I'm xs, I'm pretty short, I'm 1.68 and I weighed 60 kilos at the time but I lost muscle since I cant go to football because of the virus so it fits even bigger now, the jackets are thick and all but I like that style and I paid like 300 dollars but it had a lot of details, It had my embroidered name, my varsity letter, my football number in the right sleeve, my state on the back with an eagle and I even got some extra patches with chevrons for the years I been boxing and a boxing glove, I think you can get it for 169 dollars and with no details and just the plain jacket with real leather but I'm not sure. there's even promo codes in their Instagram and you get another promo code when your jacket arrives.
SIR_Pierre and the lining of the jacket also affects how the jacket looks the heavy weight lining makes the jacket hotter and bulkier, that's the one you got, the lighweight lining isn't that warm and makes the jacket look less bulky, that could help too.
Buddy, that's a varsity Letterman jacket. It is NOT suppose to be thin. Those are real cowhide leather sleeves. They will always be thick. Your others are thin because they're fake leather aka faux leather and thin, cheap material. You should've known wool was going to be thick and warm. Besides that, your experience is why I'm hesitant to buy one. Even though i sized up and chose tall, I'm still afraid it'll be too small.
@@SirPierreSe i was referring to the ones you tried on. Not the blue one. Still, varsity jackets are a specific model mainly for high school and college athletes etc.
@@SirPierreSe found myself coming back to your video again. Your vid is the most informative on Stewart and Strauss jackets. I honestly think it fits you great except for that bulge in the back. Seems like this was a manufacturing issue. Although, they do say to allow up to 3cm tolerance give or take. The length is clearly way off and I hope you at least tried to contact them about it. You ordered your prefect size and they clearly made it wrong. Any updates?
@@MistaDontPlay34 Yes wierdly there arent many videos of these jackets, even though they seems to be very popular. Yes after some hassle they gave me a refund, so its like a paid for a standard jacket and got the custom text for free more or less. And that was after i sent them a bunch of pictures, so at the end i feel like they just understood that the jacket was made wrong, and wierdly that makes me curious to give them a second chance just to see hehe
You looked so disappointed at 12:36 :( Sorry to hear your jacket didn't fit! I just ordered one last week and I'm hoping it fits (but I'm a female and much smaller than you, so I went with a small lol). Glad to hear the quality of it was nice though! I also got cream colored sleeves. It looks really nice. Glad to know I didn't get the hoodie either after seeing how big that hood is.
Yes the quality is nice, if I just could get the right size I would order again, and yes without the oversized hoodie. Just one more small thing, maybe it's just me though, but the fabric itches a bit, mostly in my neck.
@@SirPierreSe I just got mine today, but I had the opposite problem as you. It was way way too big!! :( The website recommended me a small but I realize now I should have gotten a 2XS. So if anyone else is watching this and considering buying one, don't listen to the sizing tool on the website... It is completely wrong. I didn't get the hoodie, but the normal wool collar is still a little itchy.
@@SirPierreSe I agree, if I could get the right size I would definitely order again... Still debating if I want to try the 2XS and take my chances or just forget about it...
@@navee9470 Hi could i for reference have your body dimensions? Because i kind of like an oversized fit so i was thinking about getting a medium tall when i usually fit into a small. After hearing your comment i’m doubting my decision.
@@SirPierreSe So has the material loosened up across the back? U were dismayed about it being too tight in ur video... I have found when I buy clothes that fit me tightly, in a matter of months of regular wearing the material conforms to ur range of motion, waistband stretches out, armpit openings widen out, etc. to the point the garment looks like a sack on me!!!
Hey Pierre. So if you could order another one from the same company, would that be a XL Tall (for longer sleeves and longer in length?) instead of the one you have got now...?
@@SirPierreSe Thank you, Pierre. Your video was very helpful. I´m thinking of ordering one, but wanted to be sure i get the correct size. I am sorry what happened to you..... Time of delivery scares me a bit. 3 months are a alot...
@TheKimmer1969 I'm glad to help :) Well i live in Sweden for once, and then clearly when i make the order to them they send to order to China or wherever they are being made, then shipped to us and then shipped to Sweden.
@@SirPierreSe Hey Pierre. I ordered my jacket on the 23rd of January and i got it delivered today on the 7th of February, that´s pretty quick i think. It was kind of costum made with the letter "B" on the chest (.... and the same color-scheme as in Lethal Weapon 2). Package was sent from Plymouth, MI. I took your advise and went up a notch in size, and it fits perfectly. I am very happy with it. Thanks for your input. It may not be the last one i get.
Are you sure about the cuff length? Damn I just gave one back coz the cuff went past my wrist by an inch. Also can you pls tell me if it is better on zip or button?
Im a male and i was 5’6, so I just ordered one varsity jacket with S size cause im worry bout if I get the M size the length could be longer and the side could be bigger for me so am I right ?
@@SirPierreSe unbelievable. I think they have a big problem with the sizes. I have a XXL Jacket from that store and the size doesn‘t fit as well. That one is way to big.
I wish I watched this before ordering. I just got mine after 5 weeks and what a disappointment. It is like it’s made for short fat people as you said. I’m 5’6 155 ibs and got a medium based off their chart and the jacket is too short and stubby for me :(
I´m sorry to hear, but its very good for all of us to know, so it wasnt any "fault" on my jacket, they are all like that. Thank you very much for the info.
@@SirPierreSe I ordered a medium... I’m 5 “2” and weigh the 130 -140 range. Do you think I’ll be ok with mine? I should also mention I’m a short female... yet a little thick. Not too much, though.
I have a question, I have been looking for a jacket like this for a long time, and I found one recently, and I like that it is blue with white breasts, but the problem is that it is not loose, it is exactly my size and it is written in (16A), I don’t know what that means and My height is 181 and I am of average build so what do you advise me Drew Joiner
@@SirPierreSe thats the problame there is no another size the shop bring orignal Discounted clothing form france but just one piece from every thing so he has just one Varsity Jacket , you can chak it just copy this link (facebook.com/345808289454843/videos/432372508022649) in 16:59
I wish I had seen this video before ordering. Just received mine, also custom, and in super annoyed with the sleeves. They are supposed to be real leather and even though the label says it’s real leather I know it isn’t. They are stiff and plastic-y. I’ve got so many leather products and I’d never buy this if I saw it in a shop. And for that price...so big time annoyed
@@SirPierreSe Really? Because on the site, maroon looks like a very dark brownish color and yours more like a dark red, which is my favorite color btw.
this dude doesnt know what hes talking about haha besides the sleeves being too wide the jacket fits him well. if he would have sized up he would have been swimming in it.
tbh that jacket new best fit for you, what u need is hit gym do diet and bit cardio, not trying to shaming or something . . . can u link where u bought it ? thx

Yeah... if you find someone that makes the "modern slimmer fit" then let me know =)
But the ones from that site looks alot better in shape.
You are happy with yours?
But you took one size larger than normal?

You are surely not a large tall, xl tall is truly your correct size. That jacket is a full cut jacket, not tapered/slim fit
Hmm i really like the jacket at 3:40 i wonder if i should get one?

Do you know any site selling varsity jackets? No problem if they are vintage (no reselling apps)
Bohooman
This would for perfectly with athletic physique.
So u got to buy the next size bigger
I’m 5’5 125lbs what size should i get?
I have no idea
I’m 5’1 and weighs 133 lbs what size should I get it?
Where you get the jacket that you where wearing in the beginning of the video
It´s a Gant Rugger, at least 10 years old.
I am 190 tall, what size should I take?
I actually have no idea since I don't know if I got my size wrong or if I get a faulty jacket

Also can you pls tell me if it is better on zip or button?
Yes, it seems like they Forget how to measure daily...
That's just a matter of taste.
thanks for video life saver
what materials did u use for the stewart & strauss jacket. the body of the jacket wool,vinyl or leather ?
The body is wool and the arms are leather
Im a male and i was 5’6, so I just ordered one varsity jacket with S size cause im worry bout if I get the M size the length could be longer and the side could be bigger for me so am I right ?
As i see it yes, but i really think they made something wrong with just my jacket.
how was the jacket? was it too small. planning to get one im also 5'6 to 5'7 range
does the arm also have quilting?
Yes
Hi what fabric do I use if I wanna sew this jacket?
I’m new to this sewing thing
Leather
wool for the body
Thank you for the information! Also just wondering, where did you get your shoe organizers?
They are from the container store, they are called Iris drop front boxes
