Freak 5 Clothing - Am I missing something?

I was looking for a leather jacket, big size, and around across this:

So I purchased it. And I tried it on and it wasn't close to fitting (left figure). Now I mix and match things all the time so I'm used to clothes not fitting but this is a first time buying clothes for a particular figure and then it doesn't fit that figure.

So then I noticed the "Dynamic" part and wondered if that made a difference. (I've never bought anything dynamic before and knew what I was doing; I was just buying the jacket lol). There is another thread and I read about the basic plugin and it looks like I have it.

So shouldn't the clothes fit better regardless? I'm at a loss as to what to do. The figure on the left has the Freak 5 stuff. As a comparison I threw a M4 jacket on the Freak on the right and have a much better fit.

So surely since I missed the whole "Dynamic" part when I purchased it, I gotta be doing something wrong. So what do I need to do to get it to look right? Since this is "Dynamic" clothing do I need to purchase something else to make it work?

I'm not interested in making it flap in the wind or anything. I'm just going for the look. Thanks!

DS dynamic clothing is like physical clothing in that it's a set size, as a result of which it will work (directly) with only one of the Freak 5 shapes - presumably not the one you are using. You may be able to get itt o work if you don't fit it to the figure, and scale the figure down to fit inside the clothing, then go to the last frame on the timelien and apply your desired pose; use the Dynamic Clothing pane to make sure the clothes are set to collide with Genesis, and do an animated drape starting in frame 0; finally freeze the drape, parent to Freak 5, and restore the original scale (which should scale the draped clothing up to match).

Thank you kind sir! I'll see what I can do. This is a bit more complicated then I hoped it would be. Although I'm putting in time and effort to learn everything effectively I'm still in the dress up stage a lot of the times. Buying the jacket wasn't even for Freak 5 lol. But I will try the scale thing and see how that works or do something else.

If you can't get it to work successfully, or if the game isn't worth the candle, you can ask for a refund within thirty days of purchase. There are some conforming leather jackets in the store which might work better for you.

Hi Whispers 56. First thanks for buying The Freak 5 Dynamic Wardrobe. I want to point you out to my video demo of the Michael 5 Dynamic Wardrobe.

Both follow the same principle. If you are a beginner with dynamic wardrobe watching this video can teach you how to proceed.

These videos can show you some of the basics too:

Also from the Readme file:

The Freak 5 default scale is 120.5 which is a giant, you need to scale the figure down to 104.5 or 105.5 in order to fit with his wardrobe.
