Regular Fit Jackets That Get the Proportions Right

The slim fit era did a lot of men no favors, and the overcorrection into oversized did even more damage. What most guys actually want is somewhere in the middle: a jacket that moves properly, layers over a shirt or a light sweater without pulling across the back, and doesn't make you look like you borrowed it from someone larger. That is a regular fit done right, and it is harder to find than it should be. The problem is that regular fit has become a catch all label that covers everything from genuinely well considered cuts to shapeless afterthoughts. We've been specifically looking at jackets where the shoulder sits correctly, the chest has room without excess, and the length doesn't swamp the hip. Fabric matters here too. A jacket that holds its structure through a full day of wearing is doing real work. These are the ones that fit the way fit was supposed to feel.
