Hey all,
I haven’t seen this discussed but I am about to pop for the covert jacket which is currently available on End clothing. As I am in the US, though, returns can be tricked should the sizing not work out. Anyone out there have this jacket? If so, does it run large like the Graham, or does it fit more traditionally?
Comments
The Covert runs large, but not as much as the Graham. I take a medium in the Covert. By comparison I'm a size 42US/52EU and I usually take a size large in Billy Reid and am between a Large and XL in most Orlebar Brown.
What size were you looking at?
I actually nabbed the last XS from END and it fits great. I’m a S in OB-Ts and a M in the RGT jacket. I could have maybe done a size S in the covert for the slightly baggy look Bond has, but the XS doesn’t restrict any movement and is still big enough for a sweater under it.
They made XS? I couldn’t find it anywhere and ended up with S which is pretty baggy :(
I never saw an XS either
Looking at the small but didn’t know that they made an XS until this thread
I never saw barbour offer it in XS, which is why I purchased quick when I saw it on END. "1 left in stock" when I bought. @IceQ @mhj116
Did you have it tailored? Do you happen to have photos of you wearing it?
I wear mine in small and it fits really well. I wear large for Rogue Territory Supply Jacket, medium for Billy Reid Bond Peacoat, and medium for all of Sunspel. I am 5'10", have a 41" chest, and size 33" waist. Hope that helps you in your decision, good luck!
Gents,
Descriptions of the Covert can vary slightly from site to site. Is it waxed or unwaxed cotton? Thanks in advance.
The one I got from End Clothing is unwaxed. It kind of has a rain jacket feel to it though. Or maybe that's just in my head.
Take it to a master tailor. Usually charges 100 usd for a perfect fit
Thanks, got an XS, much better!
