Chest (1cm below armholes) / Shoulder to shoulder

Japanese linen chore jacket from 2021, size 36: 54/43 cm

St. JOHN Moleskin Chore Jacket from 2023, size 38: 55/44

Is the Drake's shawl cardigan still the same as the Lockie Windsor? The picture on Lockie's site has a really tiny-looking collar:

The collars are near identical. I own both the Lockie and the Drake's version. This guy seems to have the collar in between folded and popped? My Lockie shawl has a nice big collar. Beware, however, as some of the Drake's shawls are made in Italy by a different maker and have a considerably smaller collar. The current green version for example.

Would you mind taking some measurements of the moleskin chore? Curious how much larger it is than their size chart indicates.
From my side:
measures taken flat, buttoned:
Chest (1cm below armholes) / Shoulder to shoulder

Japanese linen chore jacket from 2021, size 36: 54/43 cm
Cotton Twill Artists Chore Jacket from 2022, size 36: 55/43
St. JOHN Moleskin Chore Jacket from 2023, size 38: 55/44
Wow, there's a difference in batches then! Here are my measurements:

St John Moleskin
Shoulder to shoulder: 46
Chest: 55
Waist: 55
Arm: 65


Dark navy moleskin, red canvas, navy canvas
Shoulder to shoulder: 45
Chest: 53
Waist: 53
Arm: 63

Heavy linen
Shoulder: 46
Chest: 53
Waist: 53
Arm: 63

All measured completely flat with a tailor's tape. I've clearly gotten some small 38's!

Out of interest, how is the Drake's version different?

I wear my Navy Drake's shawl a lot (mainly at home) as it's fiercely warm, have thought of getting another colour. The Italian version seems off to me.

Drake's version is a little slimmer and much more expensive. Otherwise no real difference. Both are excellent!

Looking at buying a Mk. I Game suit and I see Drake's suggests sizing down "depending on desired fit" for the jacket. I'm usually a 36 but like the slightly slouchy look. Should I stick to 36 or go for 34?

Drake's seems to have developed a significant following in South Korea of all places? What's that about?
