Hello,

I just needed some advice. I'm considering a 40R Billy Reid double breasted blazer over the internet however I usually buy size 38R blazers. It is the Patterson camel hair model. I am 5'9.5 and 185lb with broad'ish shoulders.

Anyone have advice/experience with the fit with Billy Reid?

Thanks in advance!

Get measurements. In my experience, fit of Billy Reid can be all over the place.
