I guess it's either too early or I am just dense.
You said a 40in chest is a size 38? So 2 inches ABOVE the size?
You take a size 38, which is actually 40in chest? So your 38.2 chest has 1 and some change inches to wiggle around?
It's something like this. I haven't measured my actual chest, but I know I like the chest on my sport coats to be 20.5". This translates to a 38 sport coat for most brands. Some people want it skin tight, some like it baggy. I wouldn't recommend using your actual chest measurement and adding some specific number to it. Just find a sport coat that works for you and measure it.
