Measurements Polo RL shirts - classic fit vs custom fit

Hi,

I'm thinking about buying myself one or two Polo RL sport shirts. However I feel a bit uncomfortable with the sizes and therefore wonder if I should get them in custom or classic fit and in medium or large. The only available size chart is very approximated: http://www.crawfordclothing.com/myfiles/image/men_polo_Ralph_Lauren_size_chart_table.jpg

I'm 182 cm tall (5 feet 11.6536) and weigh about 85 kg (187 lbs) and my chest measures about 107-111 cm (approx. 43 inches). I'm not fatty.

Usually I go for classic fit in medium, but according to the chart I should get a classic fit in large, plus it's US sizes. What the fuck!?

Someone who's about the same size as me that can give me input?

Regards,

Guillou

Anyone!?

I wish I knew what my shoulders are because they are about perfect on a Custom L and a Classic L is just a little bigger in the shoulders I believe. I do not have an athletic build, more like skinny fat.

 

Good Luck.

Thank you guys! I think I'll go for custom fit in large then!
