Looking at a DH Trench, can't for the life of me decided on a 48 or 50. I'm 5,9, 160lbs, muscular build.

Anyone got any fit pics of DH jackets in this size or can point me in the right direction?

So could anyone give me a vague idea of how much your jacket size might increase after a modest to medium (ie non-steroidal) muscle gain? I'm at a tight 40/loose-ish, but comfortable, 42 right now; am about to start lifting again for the first time in years. Would jumping up to a 44 over a year sound extreme, or plausible? (If so, I really need to quit buying medium shirts/jackets).

Thanks.

not much at all. I actually like my jackets to be tight fitted. I wear a medium in jcrew and have 44 inch chest.

Speaking of fitted, how about fitted dress shirts? I know there are a variety of slimmer shirts out there from BoO, Epaulet etc, but I really dont know which ones have any taper to them. BoO for example look slim but still straight up and down. Zara has been the closest but I dont care for many of their patterns. Any ideas?

BoO not tuckable because of being too short or bwing to billowy?
How about EG, any experience?

I've been watching for over a year and have never seen the 745's on sale at Barney's.

Let me know if you find them on sale. Not exactly the same, but FWIW shopzoeonline.com has Fiorentini + Baker Esso in Light T. Moro on sale right now with a 44 still available.

Have you checked JCrew? I sized down one in their linen shirt for a tighter fit.

+1. General rule is if you're between sizes, size up.
