Yeah me too!! Sleeves look pretty long though on this jacket

They always are on matchless, that's why I like them. Maybe I might like this jacket after all when mine arrives, thankfully got mine through a source and not retail price

I got XL and I'd say it fits me a bit better than the JV which is also XL.
first impressions: it's very light, the suede feels the JV but it is a great jacket true to size

When you say it fits better do you mean slightly "bigger / more room" "smaller / more fitted" etc

I have a JV XL which fits prob just right and snug so interested to hear the difference!!!

Iaround the belly it is a bit smaller (fitted) and it doesn't run so long downwards the waist so overall I think compared to the JV it is a bit more fitted

welshboy78

Cheers buddy! I better go do some exercise then )

HatThrowingHenchman

i'll post more pics later!

Sir Miles

Thanks for the pics...lovely jacket...but look at the length on the sleeves

HatThrowingHenchman

but that's how far they'll come down. they stay a bit up

Polynikes

Thanks for those pics.... Very useful indeed!

Would you say it is only slimmer around the middle than your JV.. Or slimmer in the chest too?
How tall are you? The sleeves look very long.

Jacket definitely looks a better fit on you zipped up - looks quite large unzipped.
I reckon those sleeves need to be 2-3" shorter, though.

hmmmmm....what are your measurements if I may ask...I agree with those saying the jacket looks quite big on you unzipped...slightly big on you zipped...just trying to figure out if its the cut or the size you received on your measurement type...and BTW, not critizing if this is how you like things to fit...not everyone likes the fitted look....

SO IT IS HERE (tell me if you want more pics)!!!!! )

The Bond Vivant

I have just taken delivery of a Medium and a Large.

Sizes:

Medium:

Shoulder to shoulder 19.5"/49.5cm
Back: 25"/63.5cm
Arm: 25'/63.5cm
Armpit to armpit: 21"/53cm

Large:

Shoulder to shoulder:20"/51cm
Back: 25.5"/65cm
Arm: 25.5"/65cm
Armpit to armpit: 22"/56cm

Pics of Medium:





Pics of the Large:





And here is a close-up pic of the logo on the arm. Not nearly as offensive as I first thought:



For the record, I am a Medium in the John Varvatos.

Overall I'm pleased with the jacket. As previously mentioned, it is very light, like the JV, and of a similar suede- possibly goat skin. If you were a Medium in the JV, and like a more fitted feel, then go for a Medium. But the Large wouldn't look enormous on you, and some may prefer the slightly looser fit.

Cheers then,

Blair

The sleeves on the Matchless seem to be designed like the Y3 jacket

welshboy78

Pit to Pit sizes the same on both M and L??? Bit puzzling

Thanks for the pics!!! {[]

hthomas

Happy to see Matchless shipping these to you guys very quickly. Kinda surprised honestly. I look forward to seeing someone with a small post pics.

The Bond Experience

Can someone take a pic of the inside as well? Are they individually numbered? Blair, what size you keeping?

Holden

Great pics Blair! -{

In the limited pics we've seen of DC wearing this jacket, it's worn open and on that basis, the medium looks a better overall fit on you - but as you say, depends how one likes the fit of their jackets.

HatThrowingHenchman

no, as far as I'm concerned they're not numbered (would'he been a nice idea though)
XL- measurements are:
•shoulder: 52cm
•back:71cm
•arm:65cm
•armpit:52cm

I got an XL because jackets in L always are too tight around the shoulders and upper back.besides I don't like the skin tight feeling of clothes.
and to be fair, in the pics I'm holding my arms out so that one sees the complete jacket.

Bond_James_Bond

Mine is also on the way in Large.

Small and Medium already sold out.

The numbering would have been a great idea if they really are to be Limited to 700 units. That is to say no production re-runs (a la Barbour).

Pit to pit sounds small for a XL (20.5 inches)

HatThrowingHenchman

I'm no pro on how to measure it, all I can say is that I took it from seam to seam {[]

CRB

Somethings not right with shoulders being the same as pit to pit.

welshboy78

Looking at my fitted JV XL jacket right now.

Pit to Pit seam to seam is around 20.5" however when laid flat there is material on either side of each seam (if that makes sense at all lol) giving it a actual material measurement of around 23" (if it was 20.5" I would be stuffed)

CRB

That's correct - pit to pit you measure at widest point under the arms regardless of where the seams are. Your chest won't take notice of any seams and their alignment changes from jacket to jacket.

You're right pit to pit is actually 58cm! Welshboy is right!
