Beautiful quality craftsmanship for this Wolfhound Lite jacket. Certainly very good for layering under other clothes or for wearing during a cool summer evening. Of medium build, height 1.73m and 72 kg, I always hesitate between M or L because I like to feel roomy and find it practical to be able to layer clothes when necessary. The M size fits me perfectly under the armpits and shoulders. Nevertheless, I find it too long for my taste, which can be corrected thanks to the elastic cord at the bottom of the jacket. And, even when folding back the edge, the sleeves are much too long for me (I would say easily by 4 cm), as already mentioned by another customer. In conclusion, if you usually wear size M, I would recommend choosing size S if you’re not too bulky and you like the jacket to be well fitted. I really like this jacket and its finishes/quality, but honestly, I really don't think it's a good deal considering its price and the use you can get out of it.

Very good jacket, another successful purchase from Helikon. Unfortunately, the sleeve length turned out to be too long for me, but maybe it will fit you perfectly. Still, I sincerely recommend it.
