the first shot was last years black pants... Most of the edit Liam is wearing last years pants, look at the pockets. After watching this vid my stoke level went way up, the length of the jacket and vest looks so good.

I know im gonna get hate
But I have read the size chart and I still can't decide between medium and large I am 5'4'' and I want it pretty baggy but i don't know what each size will look like on me.
I wanted something closer to the fit of the medium xavier jacket which has a zipper length 33.5"

if you want it pretty baggy, go large. I'm gonna guess that you are growing and you'll want it baggy for future seasons. The medium could get a little tight when you grow a few more inches.

No hate....im 5'1" ish and probably about to start growing a lot. Im hoping to try and keep my suit for two seasons. M or L? i definetly like it really baggy, but not to the knees (i wouldn't want anything below right above my knee cap). but I'm worried i will end up regretting getting medium once i grow.... advice?

I'd probably still do medium.. I'm pretty sure large has a 34" zipper, and if so it would be a few inches past your knees. I think you'd be ok with medium until about 5'6"ish

Is that supposed to be an xl jacket? He says it is here http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=433528859684&set=a.173391064684.123239.169618119684 , but that looks small for the 37in its supposed to be according to the sizing chart.

It does, however I'm sort of thinking that it's an Illusion because his pants are sagged past his knees. I hope that's why at least...

Pictures like that one as well as this one make me nervous though, glad there's a good return policy.

Actually does anyone know if it's possible to exchange if the jacket has been taken out of the packaging and tried on?

Yeah seriously, more like 27 inches, and don't say because he's bent over it looks smaller.

Here's what I've been pondering. If The measurements of first drop are taken from the shoulder, they are more or less 2 inches less than those taken from the zipper. If last years XL saga was 39 inches, measured from the zipper. Wouldn't XL first drop be a very similar length to XL saga? We all know XL saga on someone who's 6 feet is not small, so how is it possible that this is truly 37 inches?

I am very confused right now, also ns shut down for like 5 minutes while I wrote a post similar to this, only longer and more well thought out, causing the post to get deleted when I pressed the "Reply" button. So I'm grumpy.

No they're both around 6 feet even.

I'm pretty bummed about it though, guess I'll just wait 'till it comes and worry about it then.

they should really make photos of people wearing the gear, like 5ft, then 5ft 5, then 6ft then 6ft 4 to give people a general idea how long it would be etc.
also they should ship november first if they can, but im pretty sure they already confirmed second week in november

^^ All depends on how your body size, and how you rock the gear.

For example, Devine and Lesh are about the same height- 6,1" but B wears his pants SUPER low and has a stockier build (and shorter torso). Lesh is skinnier (and taller torso), and wears the pants with the bibs not super low.

They both rock the XL suit (and those pictures of the all white suits on them is literally the SAME exact suit), and body position in pictures can change the look of the suit A LOT.

The size chart is pretty accurate so just check that and compare to gear you already own. The stuff is pretty big, will probably look ridiculous in your living room and great out on the hill when you get your big gloves, boots, skis, goggles, etc on...

Hope that helps!

It's really not complicated at all..
Just look a the size chart, take out a measuring tape, measure and compare your old outerwear.

i got an xl jacket last year and fit me perfectly, but then after i actually got in my hands i heard they were releasing an xl tall. im 6'8" and theres never ussually a chance for me to be steezy so i sold the jacket and got the xl tall. if only i had enough for this years suit. i am getting new black FD pants or black/blue FD pants though.
