Sorry to rattle your parade buddy, but you aint never going to fit Bottega Venetia or Dior. Not at your height and weight. Both these brands have a tendency to cut their jackets shorter - and for a normal sized athletic chap of height 5' 11", he would fit 42L with these brands. You would need a 38L just to fit the chest, and then the jacket would likely be 3 or 4" too short on your 6' 2" height. If you want your jacket to hang near your belt line, that is up to you, but I dont think this whole Thom Browne look has any lasting appeal


He wears a 38L now and you think he should wear a 44? :butbut:
