How tall are you? I'm only 5'6 and I've got a long coat. Doesn't make me look short, IMO

Does a 38 sound reasonable when I'm a true 40? Everything I've bought in a 40 lately has ended up too wide in the shoulders.
No experience with Our Legacy sizing.
700


our legacy blazers are cut very slim. i'm a true xs, their sz 44 shirts boxy on my and my 44 constellation blazer is very tight especially the arms. and i have tiny arms. i would definitely try it on or buy it so that it's returnable.

Yeah the arms piss me off, love the fabrics but can't get it to fit

since we're on the subject of OL:
tried a sportjacket by them in 46 some weeks ago and the fit was just awesome, can I by that presume that everything they do in 46 will fit me great? or do they have loads of different cuts?

the two blazers i've tried on by them fit similar iirc.

shirts are generally boxier than blazers, but it depends on the cut as well.
