Anyone know of a way for me to get a jacket like this? Have a guy in Canada buy it for me and ship it? Any other brands with a similar offering that you guys know of?

I may be able to ship one to you from Canada, the problem is that it would cost $20 just to mail it to the states.

But it's regular price is only $49.95! Is there an H&M in TN?

Oh right. I forgot its even cheaper in the US. Probably best to just get it at full price really. The options are to get it now and know you have it or wait and hope it goes on sale. $20 difference isnt that much. Its a nice jacket for sure.

Yes, Please check. I'm in no rush, whenever it fits your schedule.
I am 5'10" 167 pounds, 32inch waist. 38 inch chest usually fits really well. My actual chest is 39" but most cloths are baggy, so a 38" jacket usually fits as if it were tailored for me. So probably a medium.

I couldn't get anything close to that jacket for $60 otherwise, so it is still a good deal for me.
Please let me know and we can work it out with Paypal.

You are about the same size as me. I went with the medium and it fit really well. Send me a PM and Ill check on Friday. I live pretty close to one of the Toronto H&Ms and I need to go down to that area on Friday anyway.

I'm 6' 4" with a fairly long torso, but these shirts are A)shorter than most modern repros and B)ridiculously shorter than vintage originals. Vintage work shirts were designed to stay tucked in while working and had a long tail. These are fashion fit/Japanese fit....sadly they come untucked. I wear jeans and trousers.

Matt, you must either have a long torso or only wear jeans... or both.

Euro pullover work and dress shirts too. Almost long as night shirts.

I got this LVC Sunset pullover and it is indeed as long as a night shirt:

I went with XL based on measurements from a reliable seller on eBay. The jacket measures about 23.5/24 armpit to armpit. My chest measures 42", normally wear an L in most LVC Sunset shirts. The jacket is slim fitting and made of really nice leather.
