I have committed, but am having second thoughts. In the sizing chart the graphic of the jacket shows a taper from pits to waist. But the measurements show its the same width at both points... meaning just a square boxy fit. A lot of these kind of jackets were under $50 just a few years ago, but recently 'workwear' and 'made in USA' are in fashion I guess bumping up prices on such basics. And I agree with others that 9 out of 10 (including myself) wont be using these for any work but to add a light (spring) top layer or to add a rugged look to an attire. Anyway, I compared the measurements to some of my existing jackets and not a single one matches :) The measurements on this one are all over the place. Not a single jacket I own comes close to these measurements.
A question to those who own this jacket: I wear a suit jacket size 38 (my true chest size), what size should I order? If I do order? (I am currently committed for a Small, reading from the reviews and after comparison to my existing jackets). I figure if I wax it and never wash, a small would be the way to go.... but if I hot-wash a medium and bone dry it in a dryer, it will shrink to somewhere between the S and M (no pun intended) measurements. What say?

FJCruiserWith regards to sizing, I would get a S if I were you.

FJCruiserI usually wear M and ordered the Small/Tall in the last drop, because the suggestion on every forum online regarding size of this coat was to size down. I can fit a t-shirt underneath it, but it's miles away from comfortable. Now I'm back and going for my true size, M.

FJCruiserUse Pointer brands own sizing info here: http://lcking.com/pages/sizing-info#chorecoat And make sure the pit to pit size is enough and keep in mind that the coat shrinks quite a lot after washing. My suggestion is that if you feel you are between sizes choose the bigger one.

FJCruiserHeyo. So I'm pretty much an exact medium and the small is what I'm wearing in the pics. I think a medium would be too much unless you want to wear it as a overcoat with another thickish layer underneath.

FJCruiserNo problem :)
For reference, I'm 5'11", 155 lbs and the Lazio I ordered from suitsupply was in a 38. I think that's everything? Let me know if you have any questions.

AlexPkYeah, just one more question; what are you doing here? You should go into modelling :) Jokes apart, when I first went to the vendors website I didn't like the pictures they had posted; almost making me think not to order it. And I was wondering where MD got these pictures until I saw your post LOL

FJCruiserHahah I promise it is 100% because of the photographer. He is a wizard with the camera.

AlexPkLOL, you are just being nice and that's great; but yeah, tell your photographer dude that we appreciate his skills as much....afterall, a much better job at representing a product than what the vendor did! Thats a huge value added right there...
Edit: there should be a way to 'credit' or 'tag' your other team members even if they are not customer-facing or are behind-the-scene, or considered back-office, or a number of things they are referred to by these days....
