I ordered a size medium (I'm 5'10", 40" chest, 31" waist) and i can zip it up fine, slim in the chest and waist, but too tight in the shoulders and too short by a good 3 inches. I'm debating whether or not to try a large. A large should fit well in the shoulders and body, but I'm not sure it would be long enough.
Yoox also doesn't tell you about the bright orange lining with the giant elephant on it. (lining color i'm okay with, not so okay with the elephant though).
size tag is odd... says size medium but also says size 42 short, however fits more like a small/36 short.
pics of tag and lining:

apart from whats mentioned above, the quality is pretty nice. heavy duty zipper, fabric is soft. 100% polyester with a slight sheen. Not much padding, so it isn't huge like a repro MA1.
I'll take some full pics tomorrow, its dark out right now and the florescent lighting in my house is terrible. I'm not sure if its worth taking a fit pic, because it just looks like a dude in a too-small jacket.
and just to add to that, heres a hilarious looking fit pic of it being too short for me, and a closeup of the fabric.
