    Steve, with every bit of respect, my beautiful perfectly-fitting Argyle bramathea is two sizes larger than my best fitting Saxon jackets. You are right to advise caution. (possibly because I'm the shape I am. My shirt is an 18 / 33 / fat.)

    Father Bill, I think you have hit the nail on the head, I don't know why these jacket manufactures don't have a "F" fitting ie 44F.
