It fit me more like a junior sized jacket IIRC. I can't wear junior/F21/H&amp;M jackets because my arms are heavy so they are always tight. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-jackets-getting-narrower-in-the-shoulders#post-657774 Sat, 30 Jun 2012 02:01:39 +0000 Aida 657774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good lord I hope not, my IT shoulders are hard enough to fit as it is D: </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-jackets-getting-narrower-in-the-shoulders#post-657659 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 22:12:01 +0000 catgirl 657659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>GAH!

I run into it at F21 and Old Navy too. Gap seems to be better, but I AM finding that I'm having trouble in that area lately. I have broad shoulders and a small bust. Maybe I've just learned enough about fit that I can *tell* when a jacket is too big in the bust/torso even if the shoulders and sleeves fit properly. IDK. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-jackets-getting-narrower-in-the-shoulders#post-657599 Fri, 29 Jun 2012 21:09:33 +0000 Beth 657599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Or is it just me? I know certain brands are known for cutting jackets narrow in the shoulders with very high armholes (Guess, Miss Sixty, etc), but this seems to be becoming more of an issue regardless of brand. </p> <p>I can't tell you how many jackets I've tried on over the last two years that fit everywhere but across the top of the shoulders. Going up a size just makes the jacket too big but the shoulders are still too tight. The Gibson linen blazer in the YLF store is one. I'm not an IT and it's not been a problem until recently. What gives? </p>
