      Thanks y'all!

      @Sam Yes, it's mostly just snug through the shoulders.  I'll probably wear just a tee or a lighter shirt anyway so it shouldn't be a dealbreaker.

            Yeah, great gear and a nice fit. Unless you’re worried about something then just post all this good stuff in WAYWT.

              Looks good @Clint_D and @Kerestel

              @Clint_D I am thinking that hopefully the bi-swing pleating on the shoulders will afford you enough mobility even if the shoulders feel tight–assuming your wife approves, of course 🙂

              Think it, be it.

                  Looks legit to me.  I feel like a little snug in the chest is the way to go for pretty much any trucker, especially when new.

                    Great length, a little trim but overall very good. It’ll relax in a while and look even better.

                        @madmonday  it’s a hot mess. I’m a big fan of that look.

                          I'd say you need to post a full body shot of you wearing these. I bet if the camera were not focused on them, it wouldn't stand out.

                              Tricky… in some photos it looks great, in others a little trim. All the tell tales look good to marginal (shoulder seams, arm length, lack of button pull, are good while overall length is marginal, verging on short, but fine if you like it like that). It's the last two shots that give an impression of it being a little small to me.

                                I'm with Reuben on this one. Were it not for the last two shots, I'd say it's a great fit.  I wonder if the camera lens is doing something weird in those last two.

                                Being right between medium and large like you, my shirts can feel a little snug in the armpit area but I prefer that slim look to the balloony alternative that comes with sizing up.

                                Your shirt buttons better than mine.  I get a little button tug on the button right at the chest line, but I only wear it unbuttoned so I don't mind.

                                Are you near a Self Edge store that has both a medium and large for you to compare?  I think I shared with you that I had the large for a while but it kinda felt like the shirt was wearing me and not the other way around.

                                  Looking at the pics again, I'm going to say you should keep it, so long as it's comfortable. The last two pics are weird, the other pics look great.

                                  However, just to put your mind at ease, if you can try out the large, do so.

                                    Thanks for the time gents!

                                    I agree that its borderline. I also agree with you Paul in that being a tweener, you've got to pick to lean one way or the other and for me trimmer is probably safer than looser.

                                    Do you think the material will give a little over time? I'm thinking it will soften a bit, which will help.

                                    At the end of the day, I'm not looking for a bespoke fit, just good enough and more trim than loose. I plan to wear this indoors in the winter rather than wearing my type 2 or 3s.

                                    I have to find a 12 or 14oz shirt in black or OD. This cpo is crazy heavy. More jacket than shirt!

                                          I personally think the above fit is great.  I would not size up.

                                            So I'm not a "vest person" at all but I just bought a wool vest from Filson because I really liked this one.

                                            What do you guys think? Is this the right fit/ size for me? (Looking at you, @neph93 :D)
