I think it looks mint… Doesn't look like you are swimming in it and with just a flannel it leaves you room
For another layer if you want.  I dunno where you live... Looks pretty pleasant outside from your picture so maybe you wouldn't need any more layers but I think it looks pretty fine.......

Thanks for the help guys.  I might post up some more pictures later, but for now I think I'm just going to be on the hunt for a 38…

there's one flying around on eBay iirc!…

itsbenhere - I had the same issue with my deck jacket. It looks like it fits you fine, but the way they used to wear them in the USN was on the short side, more fitted. Mine was an inch or two too long and not fitted enough around the bottom. A lot of the old photos don;t even have the navy guys layering up, the jacket is just over a white tee or shirt.

Problem for me was that the size down for me (42 to 40) didn't work but I'm sure there isnt a too big a gap between 38 and 40.

Thanks big truck, that's exactly what I was thinking too. I know it's not enormous or anything but I do feel a 38 would leave less extra fabric around and provide a better fit, so I'm still gonna try and trade with someone or sell it and hunt for a 38…

Ben, I might be seriously interested in your jacket again, since I've decided some of my Veilance pieces are a bit too…fashion forward for my tastes.

The MF bug isn't too bad to have so I managed to sell my size 40 and picked up a 38… I'm MUCH happier with the fit now.
