Hi everybody,

So,

I have several questions to help me buy a Barbour jacket online.

My choice this is for a model "BEAUFORT".

I hesitate to choose the size.

I measure 1.83 meters and I is 45 cm wide between the shoulders bare.

I think C42 or C44 purchase?

Someone here has this jacket does it home to help me?

For an online purchase because there are no stores near me Barbour.

Thank.

My understanding is they run a little big. I would normally wear a 42 regular (US) in a suit or odd jacket. The day I picked mine out I wore a shirt and my heaviest tweed, and I was still able to fit the C40. Since than I have discovered that several of my odd jackets with more structure in the shoulder do not fit particularly comfortably under the Beafort.

Also did not opt for the extra removable lining, which may have required I go to the 42.

They run wide in the body and short on the sleeves.
