I don't think people really understand but as of now, every jacket is different. No two 48s are exactly the same, the numbers are just baselines.

Honestly, we could make every jacket fit to the exact same numerical size, but no sooner would we do that, than have people asking for modifications to those sizes, and the whole thing would just as soon go out the window- and just as well - few people are the same shape and size. That's the reason we never refer to anything as a numerical size anymore.

if we go to standard sizing, we'll try to move towards everything across the board fitting the same dimensionally.

If everyone posted their actual size and the measurements of their piece. We could see the different fits and use those for our purchases.

I could get a hell of a good look at a T-Bone steak by sticking my head up a bull's ass, but I'd rather take the butcher's word for it.

Do 100 push ups every time you check Styleforum and add at least 3 inches to your chest. Then order.

Can someone who is 5.4 - 5.5 give me some advice I talked to charly already about the sizing for my toj1 but I wanted to hear someone else's opinion also should I get a 46 body or a 48?

Charly is a sizing oracle. Do not doubt his judgement or you will be punished.

Probably with ill-fitting jawnz.

Expensive, ill-fitting jawnz.

ill-fitting jawnz ---> the result of persistent inquiries regarding ETA of commissioned jawnz
