Period. 1589765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It may also be that you tried on the same size and same style, but a different jacket (i.e., the store had two size 6s in stock and you tried one on the first time, then the other on the next time). &nbsp;There is always some size difference between articles because of manufacturing tolerances. &nbsp;Some brands are worse than others for this. &nbsp;I suspect Burberry is pretty good. Ted Baker is awful--I tried on two jackets of the same size and one was so tight I couldn't comfortably button it, while the other fit like it was made for me. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/revisited-jacket-lesson-learned#post-1589759 Thu, 03 Dec 2015 19:46:24 +0000 gradfashionista 1589759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I learned a major lesson today. I went back to try on the Burberry leather jacket, because I had liked how the arms weren't constricting and wanted to double-check whether there'd be room for a sweater. I'm wearing the same thin top as I was yesterday, so you can imagine my surprise when the sleeves in the upper arm were tight. It didn't make<br /> sense, and under no circumstances am I willing to buy a leather jacket at that price that needs stretching. </p> <p>The problem, I think, was that when I tried on the jacket yesterday, it had been five days since my last workout, which meant my muscles weren't swollen. Yesterday evening, however, I resume my bench press routine. The difference in swelling is unfortunately significant. </p> <p>So the moral of the story is to try on outfits the day after you strength train. </p>
