I'm asking b/c the Inglese (which I've not worn) looks to be a full inch + slimmer than the Mazzarelli (which I have worn) in the same size. The 38 Mazzarelli is good on me w/ a 41.7 chest - not sure the 39 Inglese (w/ a 40.6 chest) would work. Are you saying the pop is looser to the extent I'll be OK, or would I go up to a 39?
Yes, one should take the same size as the cotton shirts - the popovers are cut more comfortably and looser everywhere for two reasons : (1) that's the style, and (2) you've got to be able to pull it over your head and shoulders so a trim waist doesn't make sense for popovers.
