Your problem-challenge is understood by fit guys everywhere, especially guys that are both tall and fit: if it fits you in the length, it'll be way to big in the body.s_aitch wrote: ↑Mon May 02, 2022 8:38 pmDoes anyone have experience of both the Pull & Bear and Alpha Industries bombers? I just got P&B one and the fit is good I think but it looks and feels kind of cheap to me. I'm considering returning it and getting the real deal.

Also can I get a fit check on this Levi's jacket? It's size L as I'm 6'3 and the M came up short on the arms but it just seems way too big. Maybe I'm overthinking it though.

This is because your upper body gets more V-shaped as you get more athletic, and clothing is designed in the classic one-size/shape-fits-all rectangle shape. A rather obvious observation, but it's important to understand why you're facing a lifetime of frustration with pretty much everything on the market.
In other words, pretty much everything that fits in the neck, shoulders, chest area (to say nothing of the arms) is going to fall almost straight down, resulting in being too big in the body. Pretty much every manufacturer-designer sells to the masses (thus increasing their profit margins, and I can't fault them for this) and the masses don't have V-shaped torsos.
Tailoring is an option, but it'll cost you.
My personal take on tailoring is that I factor it into the cost of everything. It's also why I recommend a Luxury Spartan wardrobe, meaning a small handful of quality items.
