Hey guys,

Im looking for a leather jacket for the fall/winter and I found a jacket by Costume Nationale. From what I've read it tends to fit well for skinny people, which I am.

But, I would like other opinions before I buy one. Here's an ebay link and jacket that I am quite interested in.

Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks Guys

Yes, Costume National fits well on skinny people with narrower shoulders and an athletic pitch to the shoulder, so it fits me very well. A size 48Eu is closer to a S/M than a small, however. I am 5'11" and 155 lbs, 38 chest and 30 waist, and a Costume National 48Eu usually fits me snug, but well.
