I am interested in one Borrelli LV line blazer. However, I have no idea about the actual fit. For some slim designer brands, such as Gucci, I fit well in a 40R. Would the Borrelli 40R too big for me? Should I size down to 38R?
Any suggestion would be highly appreciated!

I just bought a Borrelli LV cotton blazer, sized EUR 54. I am normally an EUR 52L, but many Italian brands fit better in 54.

(However, sizing seems to vary a lot for those "high end", "hand made" brands, so knowing your measurements is a must.)

Back to my EUR 54R Borrelli LV - it was perfect over the shoulders, perfect length (I am tall but my jacket preference is sliiiightly shorter), but wide at the waist.

Wide is however a small problem as I had it taken in a bit, so now I am really happy with it.

Hope this gives you an idea?
