FIRST DROP OUTERWEAR!

I would like to order a Firstdrop suit, I'm 5'9 and not sure what size to get. On the website, 5'9 is right at the limit of getting XL to have it baggy. Wouldn't Xl look ridiculous on me? the zipper on the jacket is 38 inches long and that would be right at my knee..
I would like to have some opinions thanks

just decide if you want your jacket at your knees or not.

I saw it and my brother wore it in L this weekend. It was baggy, but not ridiculous on someone who was 5'4"

i ran into lesh at abay last week and bullshitted with him cause i just ordered some XL pants, he had the latest prototypes on and they looked pretty fuggin sweet

you guys need to stop freaking out, yeah it's baggy but if you're like in the higher 5-foot range or above it's not ridiculous. it's supposed to fit tall, but that's what everyone on this site seems to want...if youre having serious reservations about size then go buy northface...i measured my LD pants from last year and Lesh's XLs are only like an inch longer, so i bought them sight-unseen and im sure im going to be happy with them.

Yeah, isnt that crazy how outerwear looks HUGE in your living room, and WAY smaller on the hill?

I think its because when you have big boots, big helmet (or hat), big gloves, big skis, etc- the outerwear looks smaller in comparison. The proportions change.

If you are 5,9 and want to look steezy, get the XL for sure. You can always cinch the bibs up.

I am always happy to answer sizing questions over the phone. Just send me a message with your phone number and we'll get it figured out.

This is exactly why I bought a hoodie from this guy, no questions asked, I threw it in the cart and whipped out my card. He seems more dedicated to the customer than most other brands out there, especially Saga, so unless Saga steps it up, I know who I'll buy my next suit from. Keep the great work up.

I've had a few people ask for pics of someone actually skiing in the suit, so I just took some yesterday and put them on the site. You can see them here-

http://firstdropouterwear.com/fd/photos.html

Keep in mind, the production suits will be different. The production will:

- have black accents instead of white
- have a bigger hood, lined with shell fabric
- wider pants bottoms and waist (slightly baggier)
- no snaps on pockets, only magnets
- each sleeve will be almost 3 inches longer

For reference, I am wearing the XL and am 6, 1" and 165lbs.

Hope that helps!

PS, pre-orders are going really fast, and it's possible we will sell out before we even get anything in stock, so if you want a suit, I would grab one asap.
