I love theory fit. Could care less about the brand. I am big in the shoulders and back and its hard to find good fits with out a tailor. I have two, and I got em on eBay after sizing it up. Some have 1% spandex which will allow my wide structure some room to move.

I have tried on a few theory jackets both in 36R and 38R. I am a true 36 but both jackets fit me great. The 1% spandex is very noticeable and surprisingly comfortable for such a low percentage. If they were more reasonably priced for what they are, I would pick them up without hesitation.

I agree on the price being too high. I wouldn't pay full price that's for sure.
