      @Onairda:

      The fit pick looks great, really spot on.
      I'm 5'10 and 175lbs so I'm def. going with a 40.  Thanks man, I appreciate it.

      Glad I could help 🙂

      The mistake that I made originally, in buying the 42, was sizing this like a jacket, and not like a flannel or even a shirt, which is more how it's supposed to fit.  That's at least the case for me, since I don't plan on stacking this on top of sweaters.

      Blanket-line all the things!!!

        Ideally, I would like to have two type IIIs: one fitted and one sized up.

        Currently, I wear mine fitted, much like an over shirt but I'm also a fan of having one in a larger fit.  Larger sizing looks cool too, much like Rocket wears his:

        Consider also the way Beatle wears her's:

          This may not be a consideration for some, but I also like the idea of having jackets I can wear as if I get larger when I get older.  A type III is so classic, one could easily wear it at any stage in life.

            Or conversely, the purchase of lifelong gear in a certain size could motivate you to stay in shape and not let yourself slack. Just a thought. Great fit pics btw!

              I was a size 40 in my 20s and am now a size 42 in my type III.  I'm also in much better shape now.  I would also be comfortable in a size 44.  My point is an extra inch or two in a type III make sense.  If one sizes like Rocket, for example, there's room later in case you need it later.  The reality is most people will.  The type III is one of the most versatile jackets there is.  You can go up size or two and it's still looks cool.

                        I think you should size down one, what size is that?

                              Yep. I'd also say go down.

                              38 will look much better on you.  🙂

                                          yeah it's a patch inside.  just haven't taken a look at it much . . . pretty sure it's a 44.

                                          will look tonight to be sure . . .

                                            don't worry too much about it mate, thx though! I just think a 40 would be too tight on me, so a 42 is needed I guess (same size as the duck type III)

                                            btw. are you wearing the same size in your 2526J as in this one?…IIRC you sized one up on the duck!?
