First Drop sizing?

How do the jackets and pants size up? I'm about 5'9 with a normal/athletic build. Looking for something baggy but not outrageously baggy, obviously. Would the XL be huge in terms of pants? thanks!

FD has superwide pants (not baggy, wide) If I were you, I'd rather get Saga, Orage or Lethal Descent or something...
But, if you wan't FD, then I'd get the large pants.
Something you could do to not make them as wide is to make your own bibs.
That way the fit of the pants will change.
(One of my friends did, and they actually looked sick)...
Last years FD had very bad quality, but maybe it's better this year?

I often like to say "that's no excuse", having English as my third language and all, but yeah, you're helpful in pretty much every area on NS, you state where you're from on your profile, and even your one single spelling error, which could have by all grace even been a typo, yoyu get laughed at...

I feel you bro.

im 6'3" and the XL pants were HUGE on me. I could stand in each leg. The only person who should wear XL FD pants is hagrid.  The XL jacket was perfect for me so id recommend a large suit for you.

We recommend getting a size large.

And PS, we made the XL pants a little less baggy this year. Thanks!

I would look into picking up gear from another company if you want it to last for more than one season.

I'm only 14 years old, and English is also my third language. So, I'm learning to spell better every day on NS, which pretty much helps a lot! But it's not really a big deal that someone is laughing at me when I fail... But thanks for the sympathy. By the way, you are also one of the best members here on NS, helping, writing stories, and just overall being cool. Thanks for being awesome, and +K if that matters to you ;)

I'm 5'11" and have the xl. They are very huge and baggy but it's still a good fit.
