I'll just keep telling myself that. This is one of those styles I've wanted for so long...tried a few but they were all double breasted. The single breasted variety is so much cooler imho. If I somehow come into some extra scratch I'll ignore your warning and take my chances.Tony- for you sure. Ha. But that Blizzard is a true 40 IMO and would be too snug. Have to account for the thicker lining etc
