Specifically a chesterfield, I don't know of any that are slim. If you really like the Banana one, just get one that fits and take it to a tailor to suppress the waist and shorten the sleeves..

Yep, this is what I do and banana fits me nice and slim. All of their stuff is cut big btw. I like that one and the heritage stuff is pretty cool, collar is a nice touch.

as pointed out, sleeves are easy to tailor so that shouldn't be a problem

a lot of their suit and outerwear models seem to wear sizes too big for them on the website. It's a nice looking jacket.

I'll have to go and check it out and see how much I like it in person. If I really like it I'll get it altered if not I'll pass.
