I am pretty close to that, maybe 1/2 an inch shorter with a 40.5 chest. Now I am unsure as to what size would work for me, seeing all this.

Stelios, you're a good bit taller than me but that's about my chest size. Jay recommended a M.

My chest is somewhere between a 39 and 40 (haven't measured recently, but I'm in a gaining phase). Medium fits me well. skalogre, I agree with Tom.

. Wait, I may be actually between 39 through 40. I am not sure now. Oh well, I am between 38 and 40 in jackets, lol, I *think* I am around 39-40.

LOL that's kind of what I feel like these days, but I'm somewhere between 40-42 (um, gaining phase, yeah, that's it). 39-40 should fit through the chest like LA Guy's does.

LOL. No, seriously, I'm a major ectomorph. That 40 is the result of a lot of weight training.

Hmm. I just read up on this body type stuff - ironically it looks like I am inbetween meso and ectomorph

rather irritating but it fits with my typical difficulty in getting things to fit right, I have quite straight/square shoulders but I am *mostly* lean and don't seem to bulk up easily at all. Anyway, I will go with your recommendations, thanks saucemaster/tiger02!

P.s. At least I am too short to look really lanky

hm, i like 04101 (though i probably wouldn't wear it cause i have no ties to the 04101), bespoke, and chocolate rain. wish they were in other colors though. the other stuff doesn't do it for me- looks a little too rockstar for me i think.

Hmmm, I think that Cold Rice and I have very different tastes. I wear Bespoke and 04101 most if layering the tees under something else, but wear Crucifix (the tee shown) or Medusa when worn over, say, a thermal. I like a little bit of the rockstar look (think I picked this up in LA) along with my DIY and military inspired gear.
