I'm loving these jackets from S&M and I want to try their MTM option but I find it a bit confusing.To get my right measurements I have to first click on a size 42 (I'm size 40) and then alter the dimensions because I can't manually edit the chest measurement, but how can I see sleeve width?! Shoulder measurements on size 40 fit me but my chest is actually 42 inches so I need size 42 for that.

I don't want to order an originally size 42 jacket and have it look weird with massive sleeves. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I'm also worried that the original size I chose to edit will affect button stance...

For the constant opinion that contemporary is too slim and yada yada yada....for the trousers and my body shape I think the contemporary is a perfectly fine straight fit while not being overly billowy. I would be trouser homeless if contemporary was adjusted because the slim is as described and contemporary is a good straight fit. To make it bigger would leave a vacant middle ground that most people will enjoy.

Agreed on all points.

I have changed my opinion about this. I like the contemporary the way it is. I used to want more room. Some pants have been noticeably slimmer in variance. Vbc grey flannel is slimmer than my cords and vbc houndstooth flannel. If Spier did a relaxed or just standard fit like a brooks brothers or Hertling they would have to be tapered. They are a good middle ground in fit between relaxed and brands like suitsupply or natalino. The leg opening on a 36 in those brands are about 7.5, 7.75 which for me would be way too slim.
