Original Penguin Jacket fit true to size? (Lios A Dun toggle coat)

[Beatlegeuse]

Hi all - I need a new winter coat and I really like this Penguin Toggle Coat:

But, I'm hesitant to pull the trigger and order it online because I have no idea how it will fit. I wear a sz 42 jacket and my waist is about 33-34, so judging by their size chart I should get a large. My last winter coat was a crappy Kenneth Cole peacoat, size large, and it was huge on me. I don't want anything super-slim, since I'll probably be wearing this over sweaters, but I don't want it too oversized either.

I only have a couple ties from Penguin, which I love, but I've never tried on their clothes, so can anyone comment on the fit of this jacket, or Penguin clothing in general? Thanks!

Generally the classic fit is fuller but the shoulders should fit true to size. Overall they're clothing fits a bit slimmer than others save Ben Sherman which is similar in quality.

I have always liked Penguin's look for short sleeve shirts and polos but I think their quality and materials have gone downhill in the last few years. This is probably open to interpretation though.

Thanks for the info...yeah i was a little worried when i saw that it was listed as "Classic Fit" on their website, but then they go on to state in their measurement guide that their clothes tend to fit slimmer than most other brands, and if you are in between sizes or not sure of your correct size, you should always go a size up. So, if my measurements are spot-on for a large, then i should probably try that out.

I think i may have to take the chance and go for it...at the very least, i'm sure it will fit better than my old KC peacoat, and worst-case scenario i can always have it tailored or return it if it's really bad. There's a 40% off coupon on their online stock, and it expires tonight so i better make my mind up soon!
