A 44R with just 25" sleeves and 19" shoulder width? This is just appalling. I have only a 40" chest but need 27.5" sleeves and 19.5 to 20" shoulder width. ):

The measurements seem a little bit odd, I agree. That's why I'm not entirely confident it'll fit, but at that price, it was worth the risk.

At this price definitely! I wager your arms have a more human length than mine. I hope it fits you!

Congrats. RRL is usually rather expensive. Nice bargain. I wear my RL tweed sportcoat all the time. That's why I looked for another one. But the chest size was too big. I would have bought it otherwise. So if the chest was measured wrong ... ;)

Here's a not-great photo of me wearing the jacket, which fits pretty well. I'll get the sleeves taken up a bit, but otherwise I think it's okay.

I think it fits very good and suits you well.:eusa_clap
If you didn't mention the sleeves I wouldn't even nocticed that they are too long. Maybe sportcoats are more forgiving than dark suits that really need the amount of cuff showing.

Thanks!

It's my first Lauren of any type, and I have to say, it seems less ... substantial, somehow, than I expected it to be.

I mean, for $20 shipped, it's absolutely fine, but it somehow doesn't seem like a higher-end jacket to me.
