Yeah I think chest would be the constraining factor on the size 42 in this hoody

I know it's hard to accurately evaluate fit purely from the measurements

However I have a Butcher Products sweatshirt with a drop shoulder to compare + I know the drop from the shoulder to the pit seam on the FW

Hence if I can get a washed pit-to-pit size on the 42... then I'll be able to say yay or nay mate

My actual at the moment (was worn this morning) is 61cm p-2-p

Thanks Duke - appreciated

aha interesting... if you have a min Duke old bean, do you have the post wash measurements for your 42?

I can measure my size 42 sweatshirt if you like…it’s been washed twice now. Currently unworn after the recent wash. 
let me know if that’d be any help? 

[MJF9 11,480]

Yes please mate - more data points are good - thanks

@UkeNo Really helpful mate - thank you... Plus that colour looks so good after only a few washes... I'll look forward to that, lovely!  

So, even though a 42 would work for sure, I found a 44 and went for that... it'll be more voluminous but I like a nice drop shoulder and perhaps it'll be more in keeping with the intended style on me... however I'll find that out soon... thanks Sufu folks for your help <insert thumbs up emoji>

Ironall Long Sleeve Short 6oz Chambray 1920-1930s

I think my favorite chambray shirt for now

 

[UkeNo 103,598]

I would have guessed a 44 might work for you if I can wear a 42. 
the blue in the picture is a bit more vivid than in hand. It’s a bit darker or blacker in person. 
but it has started to fade nicely after a few wears 

[shredwin_206 8,009]

I really want a FW sweater with that Batman collar….  
I’m 22”-23” chest to I think a 42 would be perfect after shrinking down?

Here’s Hoosiers measurements for an unwashed size 42. (And I posted post wash measurements above)

I feel like a 42 Might be too small for you?

Around a year and a half in the '51 601xx, maybe 2–3 days / week on average

[UkeNo 103,598]

Just a quick message to say the 661xx 1956 are easily my favorite pair of jeans ive bought over the last few years. 
The cut is spot on, a little tapered below the knee, but with a nice rise and thigh proportions.
Even better on me than the 51 which I love.

Bonus jeans & Freewheelers socks shot - just to prove im actually wearing them.

601b is the fastest fading denim I’ve had. These are only six months of everyday wear

S601XX '45

[vlad_III 79]

I’ve asked before, but this 507XX in size 46 feels a little tight around the arms. Just seems to hug my armpits a little.  
I can wear it over a T-shirt but definitely can’t do a sweater or flannel underneath. Wondering if size 48 would’ve been a better fit. From the size charts it looks like size 48 is the same body and sleeve length and just adds a 1-2cm in chest and shoulder width.

How tall are you?

[vlad_III 79]

186cm (6’1”)

[Maynard Friedman 570,901]

It looks good but how it feels on you is key. The fit everywhere seems to be fine, including the shoulders. If they were wider, I think they’d look a bit big and would make the sleeves drop down a little further but ultimately your comfort is key.
Just for information, I have 2 denim jackets, a lighter, snugger Type I for warmer weather that I only wear a t-shirt underneath and a heavier, looser Type II that I can layer beneath.

Thank you for the anwser.

I think even 48 will be too small for my 1m96

Ahh ... but can you wear the type l under the type ll, that is the question?

 

Edited March 21 by Dr_Heech

[Maynard Friedman 570,901]

I just wear a Type III instead.

Yes, probably. Size 48 doesn’t seem to add any length to the body and arms. Just a wider chest and shoulders.
