I'm 5'8, 145, 37" chest, usually wear size small in most brands. Would I be a 46 or 48?
46, for sure. I am 5'11" and 175 lbs, with a 40" chest, and range between a 48 and a 50, depending on the look.

yes, but they don't have too many models. And the sizing between pieces is fairly consistent.


I'm gonna be the naysayer here and say that sizing varies. I have a size 48 jacket I picked up a while back that fits well, but I tried out a couple of size 48s from yerx not too long ago and found them to be way too tight even for my tastes. Like, objectively too tight, not just SF-unapproved too tight.

So, I'm going to qualify my statement here. The summer and winter jackets seem to fit differently. fwiw, mine are winter. (In summer, all I buy are sneakers, hats, and belts. And like, tees and technical pants.

Fair point. I think the ones I tried on were both spring/summer. One of them was pretty awesome, a really light and airy knit fabric, way more like a cardigan than a jacket. Unfortunately, the darn thing fit like a 46.

edit: And holy goddamn, it's still available and only seventy freakin' dollars: http://www.yoox.com/us/41403333FE/item?dept=men#sts=sr_men80&cod10=41403333FE&sizeId=5


Similar to the one I've got on order (although mines 100% cotton airtex, and cost more than 70 dollars...) :

700


I've sized up so fingers crossed...

thanks for the link MoK, i kopped the airtex in my true size. seems like it could look cool TTS or slightly oversized though.
Their store/HQ is actually very close to a friend's place, i keep forgetting to drop by and have a look at AW stuff

Feedback on the store and current stock would be good.

Well my jacket arrived Saturday and I'm glad I sized up. I'm a 43" chest and can occasionally get away with a 52, but typically take a 54. Went 56 on the Harris Wharf and it's still slim fitting on me.
