Yes, I need 19", I could actually do 19.5" but that's not going to happen. I have a big taper. and I've seen size 3 Julius with 19" pit to pit, sometimes 20"....there's no way in hell that's even close.

Yeah see that's what I'm thinking AR. **** sucks. I guess I'm going to have to stick with a RO leather...I know he makes those measurements.

I used to get stuff with a 45 chest and there were a ton of brands that were basically off limits because the stuff they made just didn't correspond to big people sizing. Nom de guerre is a good example. Even as a 48EU I have trouble with a lot of japanese brands because of the shoulders, it's nuts. Like that Julius shirt looks good on me but it also looks like it's small, it's not ideal.

I have a size 5 attachment leather and that'd probably fit a 22" pit to pit and 19" shoulder to shoulder person.

Yeah the knit collar coat I had in XL was a solid 22.5" ish, some of their stuff fits relatively normal if still slimmer than tagged. However things like the knits are a full size off so if you're a legit XL, you're kinda screwed.
