User questions & answers

Question: Is the fit a womens fit, mens fit or unisex fit? Does the tag say "Gilden" or the manufactures name
Answer: Both men and women can wear it
Question: Is it also for boys
Answer: Yes, I would think boys could wear this as well. The sizing may be female so watch that but otherwise it is not styled in a feminine way. It is what you see.
Question: I am 5'5 and around 155 or 160lbs, would a medium fit or would I need a large? I like it to be a little big but not baggy. I don't want it too tight
Answer: It seems to be a mans medium. The person I bought it for is 5'5 about 155-160 as well. It fits them well. If you want a loose fit you might want to go up a size though.
Question: I dont have a question, just a suggestion. Please tell us what size you bought and your weight and height. Thats the most important information
Answer: I bought a L for my daughter. Shes 5'4 140lbs usually a size 10/12. I thought it might shrink but it didnt. Its baggy on her.
