Depends on how you like it to fit (and I'm guessing your own body type), it's discussed repeatedly in this thread. Typically people either go with their true size or sizing down 1, with a few people even sizing down 2 (but I can't imagine this is comfortable, but to each their own). Read through the thread and decide for yourself or order a bunch and eat the return shipping.

Yeahh. They don't have that specific color, though.

Original Poster: Will that be at Urban Outfitters in 8 days? Or, if not, where then?

What do you guys think about used military brass buttons? Also, what if they're mismatched? I need something new for my sterlingwear, i'm bored.

Why not? I replaced one of the black plastic buttons on the Sterlingwear I used to have with a brass one. I liked the detail.

If you deliberately change out one, I can see that, but if you just reach into a bucket of old brass military buttons, most of the time you're going to look like you should be smothered with a Trovata peacoat and shot.

Got one last season, very happy with it. Had the waist taken in slightly and now it fits pretty much dead on. Very warm, good cut for tall/slim dudes. Only drawbacks are the noisy lining and poorly attached buttons.

I'm thinking a full set of marine corp eagle and anchor domed ones in shiny brass.

Only problems are 1. shiny 2. brass 3. blurring the line between military inspired and military dress up.

i just wanna ditch these black anchor buttons. maybe i'll just make the ones i have now matte finish...

The stock pic is from need supply. it's what turned me onto the jacket, but it had been sold out in the size i wanted, so, i looked around and ......... was selling through amazon. threw it on the ol' christmas list to see if i could possibly get it as a gift rather than buying it, and i happened to see a shipping box with a huge ass karma loop logo on it in the house the other day. so...8 more days lol.
