Yah, but which is the closest match to the proper blue and proper green?  [big grin]
Looks like 49392517 to me but you should give an in-person judgement.

[member=20971]elfick[/member] All of them are the 49392517 model  [tongue] There are an additional 4 digits to specify color. I think the Navy/Green 4939-2517-8942 is the best match, but it does have a little bit of a purple hue to the blue. Some of my apparel when I worked at Festool USA was the same way.

Hello Shane -

2 Questions:

1) Is this a "Euro Fit" jacket? IE: a trimmer or slimmer type fit? Should we tend to order one size up?

2) Does it have a "Euro Zipper" on the left or "wrong" side of the jacket? (Don't know why, but I just can't get the hang of zipping these.............)

You mean the Wright side.. I have a couple of Carhartt jackets, with zippers on the Rwong side..
Endlessly looking for the puller that’s not there… [big grin]

[member=42863]SouthRider[/member] I don't have this specific jacket, but I have a similar Blaklader jacket. I wear a Large and I would say the fit is identical to any other size L that I own. The zipper is on the "European" side with the handle part on the wearer's left.

The zipper is on the "European" side with the handle part on the wearer's left.

That reminded me of something I did as a kid back in the 1960's.  Getting ready for school, I put on one of my sister's blouses. I wore it all day not knowing it was a blouse.  That evening, I complained to my Mom that the buttons were backwards.  She explained to me that was because it was a girl's blouse, not a boy's shirt.

For those of us who have never seen the Blaklader gear, what makes it worth buying, other than the available color scheme?

Great question, [member=66966]jonnyrocket[/member]. The color was just a nice perk for Festool fans.

Blaklader is a premium apparel brand focused on the trades and made in Sweden since 1959. They are on par with, or exceed, brands like Carhartt, Snickers, etc. Their trades-focused workwear is produced with high demands on functionality, quality and design. They produce around one million apparel items per year. Blaklader is the only workwear manufacturer that offers a lifetime warranty on its seams.

Like I said, I have a Blaklader jacket and it's one of my favorites. I wear it a lot during this time of year. It's very well made, comfortable and durable. I've had my jacket for about 5 years now.

Queue cheesy video...


If you have any specific questions, let me know.

Thanks,
Shane

Got the jacket and LOVE it! The large is a bit big on me, but I'm guessing the medium wouldn't have allowed me to layer much below it.

Pleasantly surprised about the T shirt - not just cotton, but feels like it has some performance fabric mixed in.

Glad you were able to snag this deal, [member=42863]SouthRider[/member]. Like I said, my Blaklader jacket is one of my favorites, and I really mean that. Appreciate you sharing your quick review. Enjoy the new gear  [smile]
