I'm of pretty average height - a little over 5'9". And if I weren't so skinny, I'd be covered - J.Crew stocks both 38S and 40S. So why is it that us skinny guys are stuck having to do major surgery on a jacket when those with just a bit broader shoulders are covered?
I suspect I'm not alone. Anybody else have this problem with J.Crew's sizing? Or know of a way to elongate your torso by about an inch? Let me know.

I like J.Crew but I'm tired of having to get the XS shirts tailored every time.
