Looking at this coat to buy - but not sure what size to get. If someone has experience with this coat or label, please help me out!

I'm 5'9", 130lb. and my chest is about 34" ... I wear XS BoO and it fits really slim (very close to my body). What size should I get this jacket in? I'm thinking S but just want to see if I can get any additional feedback.

Thanks.

Honestly if you are a 34 you'd really be suited for a XS based on the measurements. However, at 5'9'' you'll likely need an S due to sleeve length issues with sizing down so much.

So buy the S, since the XS will likely be comically short if you truly are the height you state. However, if you have unusually short arms get the XS.

Did you see the measurements on the listing? I would say go with the small unless you're not worried about the length.

Never heard of the brand, but it does have "...super feeling of touch" and "It can use washing and drying machines" ...so it's definitely a must buy!

I don't really have aberrant arms so I guess I'll stick with the S ... worst case, it's too big and I'll exchange it for the XS.

I did see the measurements - I'm not very good with non-chest measurements though. I'm guessing the XS will be too short for me at 5'9"?

Yeah, I'm hoping the quality is decent ... I guess I can report back?
