A 38-40 inch chest seems awfully trim for a 38R. Does it fit that way?

This was the measurements I was given. However I believe it is closer to a 40- 42" chest. I am inbetween a 38-40 depending on maker and this jacket fits well on me. For comparison I wear a 40 in Isaia. Hope that helps

That's just a generic quote. 2 inches is not an acceptable margin for error in measuring a coat. 38R should be 40" in the chest.

Can you measure the chest (at the armpits) yourself?

I hope this helps. I layed the jacket flat and measured the armpit to armpit on the front of the jacket and it measured 20". Which I am assuming makes the chest
40"
