Finally settled on a 40R Authentic from Sterlingwear. It arrived today and now I'm hoping for a cold snap. The fit is nearly perfect*. It is cut pretty close, but with room for sweater underneath without being tight when buttoned. I was worried about how to size down, but I believe I nailed it. I might have been able to get away with a 38R, but I think it would have been too tight and the time I spend at the gym wouldn't have helped. The only negative I see is the shoulders being a touch too big - but it is a winter coat so I'm not going to complain that much. Maybe after a while if they still bother me I'll take the coat to a tailor, but for now, I'm just psyched to have a good winter coat at my disposal again.
Will post reviews down the road after spending some time in the coat.
* Incidentally for anyone wanting to compare sizing in the future my measurements are below. I should stress that the fit is not the very slim look a lot of people here appear to be shooting for. I do think it is a proper slim fit for a coat that will certainly have layers underneath it once Chicago winter weather hits for real.
Chest 40/41
Sleeve 18/19
Body 25/26
Waist 34
Hip 40/41
5'10"
170-175 lbs
