the formats are the same but one is mirrored. and color difference depends on camera but the top picture is more accurate color.

Just used my XL jacket for the first time yesterday and all i have is good things to say. The jacket is super warm, only used one base layer and i stayed warm the whole day. The magnets are an extremely well placed; loving the one that keeps your hood attached to your jacket. The big inside pockets are a great place to store your sleeves (which i found couldn't fit and zip in the back/butt pocket). The thumbies were unexpected but great, never had em before and having a wrist powder skirt was amazing. And the colorway's are great. My blue is vibrant and fits well with black. Nothing but love for FD.

Are you STILL bitching because you didn't get a free suit? It's getting ridiculous. If you haven't got something constructive to say GTFO of this thread.

the whole scheme on the front of the jacket looks like shit. its all arbitrary angles that do not match at all and i dont know why they made the lower pockets look like hoody pockets. looks dumb and doesnt hold nearly as much shit as normal square ones

Blue sleeves would also look cool.

I have no pics, sorry but still.... Got my bue coat and white pants today, Large coat xl pants, like many of you i wanted sufficiently baggy outerwear The material feels good, feels legit, tough to rip etc. colors are really bright plenty of pockets SHIT IS HUGE!!!!!!!! xl pants are enormous im 5'11 maybe a little closer to 6 feet but the pants are absurdly baggy if you lay the pants flat on the fround they are full foot in width anyone smaller than six feet may feel like their wearing a tarp....b4 all the hate, yes i was an idiot and yes I ordered too big sorry

Alright, so good news and bad news.

Before that I'd like to settle a dispute, the XL jacket is infact 37 inches tall.

I'll start with the good news; I finally received the jacket, correct size and color.

Detailed pros:
-Relatively nice fabric
-Zip off sleeves are fully functional
-Plenty of pockets
-Lots of vents
-I got 3 free die-cuts with my order
-It's a little too warm for me, the insulation is thin but surprisingly warm.

Cons:
-The biggest con is most definitely the fit,the jacket is enormously baggy width wise, I think it's far too wide.
-First of two little issues; the way the jacket was packaged the flap pocket in the front is folded up, just kind of annoying
-For some reason the jacket smelled like fish... Kind of weird but it bugged me.


Over all the jacket is nice, just too baggy. if they'd slimmed it down I would be perfectly happy with it. So unfortunately I'll most likely return it and pick up a saga syrup jacket. I'll have to get permission from a friend who has a saga jacket though. Haha. I still have yet to make the final decision though.

Pic's in a minute.

the jacket is 27 inches wide.....thats not all that wide i think. you gotta note that its an XL so gotta fit the tall people, and the round people haha. and saga XL is even wider i believe it says 28inches. so unreasonable to exchange to saga for the width issue. unless theres something else.

The fabric is so thick with the insulation it makes it look like a sumo suit around the shoulders... Saga has thinner material that sags, I tried my friends XL saga on and it was perfect.
