Hello! I'm thinking of purchasing a denim jacket, but I'm not sure which I should get.

I'm very interested in this Grey Denim Jacket, but I'm not sure if this will fit me. It says it's a small with a chest size of 40, but does anyone have experience with AE jackets? They don't make XS. I'm 5'8 145 pounds. Athletic Build. Would this fit me? Would it shrink a bit if I needed it? I want it to be snugg.

I'm also thinking about just getting a classic blue denim jacket, but I really like the grey. I feel it's more versitile especially with my wardrobe.
If you guys have any other denim jackets I should check out please send them my way.

what's your chest? 40" is generally M... so it wouldn't be snug on you. either way the seller has a return policy....

(also in the future you should ask these type of one-off questions in the 'noob' thread)

My chest size is about 36'-37'. I think the size he has listed is a bit off. I think it would be more of a 36'-38' which would fit perfect. AE has there tops listed size Small as 37'-39' which might fit decently. So I was hoping someone had experience with AE denim jackets or denim jackets in general. I see the return policy, but I would end up wasting 15 bucks in shipping. Also can denim jackets be shrunk a bit with out ruining it?
