I really like this black denim jacket from Helmut Lang but I'm not sure which size I should get, a medium or large. Anyone have experience with Helmut Lang sizing?

>> No.10061756

in my experience, helmut lang tops tend to run a bit small. i'm somewhere between a medium and a large in most things, but i'm definitely a large in HL.

what's your height / weight?

also this thread shouldn't exist, you killed another thread for your question. questions like this belong in fuccboi general.

I'm 6'0 ~160lbs. Do you think I should go for a large?

Slim, but true. I take either an XS or S and prefer XS for fit, S for length. Just depends on what fit I'm after.

Just copped this jacket about a week ago, it's definitely a great piece. Unfortunately, it's a little large on me (i wear a size medium t-shirt normally). I got size large as it was my first Helmut Lang piece and didn't want it to be unflatteringly tight (experience from owning Gosha pieces). Luckily, it does have buttons on the back that the waist straps can be secured to for a slimmer fit, which helped. But still not ideal.

I'm 5'11, 160 lbs, 31" waist, 39" chest for reference.

I'd say it's worth the $300. The stitching is top notch, nice detailing with neat biker-style armpit material, and an overall timeless look.

I may wax mine to get more of the Rick Owens worker jacket look.

The coupon is the best you're going to get. I think they leave it in their "essentials" category, so they probably won't mark it down. If they do, it won't be by much.

Turns out the Helmut Lang website doesn't ship to Canada.
