Idiom

[Fares]

I dont think there is a thread for idiom, and I need to ask questions about fitting does idiom fit big or small in comparison to other jackets?

[retrored]

smaller then burton. this was when i tried on the dots jacket last year.

[l3ootlegs]

if u r a normal Medium shirt for everything..then u better get Small in iDiom..

they run way to big....

[keagan]

they're shredding jackets so they're gonna be a bit bigger than your average coat. size down.

[Kasper]

the jackets are cut a little slimmer than burton's so they fit much better IMO. like keagan said, it's a snowboarding jacket so the size you'll choose will depend on where you want to use it more. i use an XL to ride and a medium for just regular jacket...

[soundbomber]

Stay true to size for layering or size down for fitted.

[larssss]

i'd say the fit is pretty standard for snowboarding jackets ie: boxy.

i've got a 3L jacket from the cmyk line a couple years ago, you can see it here

keep in mind my coat is a large, since i bought it as a snowboarding jacket, wanted the extra room for layering, movement and so on. if I had been after simply a street coat I would have gotten a medium, which is my usual size.

quality is very nice on it, it has some great stitching details but not anything vastly superior to say a burton ak 3L jacket.

i have a ronin 3L jacket. the sizing is ridiculous.

You almost need to size down 2.

Last seasons Idioms where a litte off a L and XL where like

Para shoots with out layers ,this season seems to fit to size but im not keen with the checkerd print ...stick and expand with the dots .

check out Wellgosh.com

did have the gloves , but sold out ... very good peice

[tm]

the measurements still seem pretty crazy even sizing down one for street use.

a small with a 55+ pit to pit?

like herpsky said probably need to size down 2 for street use.

im planning on getting a dot jacket from IDIOM soon, but im not sure about the sizing. i wear a M (european in case it makes a difference) from northface, but im a liiiiiittle chunky so its a snug fit. the measurements of a Large idiom jacket seem to look right for me although im worried it might be long (yes im short on top of being chunky ). i tried comparing the two sizing charts but the north face chart makes no sense (i.e. it says medium waist is 86 cm but i cant even get that around my waist with a tape measure) anyway anyone else who wears a Medium northface who might be able to advise?

im planning on using it for street and snowboarding use.

[Fares]

Wears this IDIOM shop?

[hamham3001]

im 6' 170.. and i wear L, which fits me with more than enough room to layer... i dun know much about TNF, but like many people said, size down if u want it to be more fitted.

Check some of my WDYWT pics, it will give u a idea of the fit..

[chickenpow]

hmm.. yeah your definetly slimmer than me, im a bit more samo hung . i just measured up my north face and it matches up exactly with a large Idiom...only thing is they say that an idiom Large measures 75 cm from collar to hem. the hem to the neck (like in the left)? or does that mean the whole length of the zipper (like in the right) ?

just wanna make sure i get the right size. thanks for any help

[hamham3001]

2nd one, whole zipper

[chickenpow]

right. thanks for that

[chickenpow]

so i ordered a 2.5L jacket (black polka dot), but as i was browsing on the web i saw that there's also a 3layer jacket which only costs about 10 euros more. is there a big difference in warmth/insulation? anybody know?

thanks

[chickenpow]

came in this morning. in case anyone interested, theres still a 30% sale going on at www.the-glade.com where i ordered mine

[slidxe]

^got that jacket too, it def fits big. i got a size small and it seems to fit a size medium more.

[doctorgnar]

New Idiom for 09 is all emeraldy green and black, and big grid prints. Only new piece is a down vest, and looks like they dropped the insulator jacket - down vest instead. New Idiom pack is a 25L.

[HisPiffness]

I got a dot insulator jacket in size M, and I'm around 6'1 175 lbs and it fit me fine.

[camthrax]

The quilted insulator ma-1 ish casual jackets fit kind of small.
