how true to fit is the sizing with this jacket? reading reviews that the arms and chest fit tight

It is very tight on top meaning the breast area and shoulders. I am a 38 D and I barely fit in the xl size. Other then that it is a great coat go 1 size or 2 up.

Hi Kathy, If u normally wear a medium then this.jacket should fit fine for you (as it does for.me) its true to size. Unless your chest is a tad big and u like to put on ALOT of layers (more than 2), u should go with a large. I have a somewhat small frame, but if I got a lg I think the.coat would be too big in the arms, and bulky in.the chest area. Hope this helps.

I found the arms and chest to be a good fit. As I carry weight in my midsection, the jacket is slightly snug there for me. I had to go up a size in this jacket, but l'm happy with the jacket overall.

For me it ran alittle small in the chest and shoulders-I thought a medium would work but a large did better. I LOVE this jacket.

Bought a 1x so it could fit over a sweater or fleece vest. This is one of my first ventures into the plus sizes. Seems much like everyone else's plus.

It does fit very well. I am petite and it is a little snug in the chest and arms. But that said I love this coat!

I would go up 1 size. If I wear a long sleeve t-shirt on, it fits fine but if I have a sweater or sweatshirt on, it feels snug. I like a little more room. Other than that, I love the coat, just wished I got a size bigger.

Not at all--I usually wear either a medium or large in a coat, and ordered a large based on reviews. It is big enough to wear a jacket or sweatshirt or sweater underneath with plenty of room. I am not big chested so that may be a factor also.

I did size up to a large and at first thought it was too big but it is great if you like to wear heavier sweaters. I would say it may fit a little small but not much. I think a medium would have been fine too. If you like a more fitted look then go with your usual size.

The fit is definitely slim, true to size. However, I am not large chested by any stretch of the means, so that could be an issue for others.

I'd say the size is what i was looking for. I'm 6'2" with wide shoulders, normally wear L shirts. Ordered the XL to be on the safe side and it's a little loose, but that's what i was looking for. Waist and arm length is perfect, arms a little long at rest to compensate for having your hands on the bars. Had this jacket for 9-10 months now and I still love it!

Jacket is true to measurements, which I was worried because my english bulldog is big chested. This product also has many Velcro straps for easy adjustment. Hope this helps.

I think the 2X will be too large for you, especially in the chest. I'm 5'6" and my chest measurement is larger than yours and I'm not squished into the jacket.

I just looked up the TYR sizing chart and it's pretty true across the board. I wear a 6 in most clothing (I'm petite but muscular) and I have a XS in the bikini like they recommended. Be aware that the fit is snug though, like it's supposed to be. As a swimmer, I would always go with more snug because a suit top that drags down to my waist when I flip turn or sags in the butt is annoying. That's what I love about this suit- it's two piece and stays right where it's supposed to; so personally I wouldn't size up.

I will answer your question with another question; how do you want the jacket to fit? I am 5'8" and 180 lbs. I ordered a Large because I got the impression that the jacket ran small. I received it, and it was way too big. If you want the jacket to fit you nice and snug, get the size you usually get in clothing. I usually get a Medium and should have gotten a medium.

Hi, if you're looking for a fit exactly like the picture, I suggest Small. However, if you want it a bit loose, try the Medium. It all depends how you want to wear it.*Side note: My son has a few of these, and after several washes, he said the fit isn't as tight as when you first get it. Also, never but it in the dryer to preserve the stretch and to prevent the logo on chest from peeling and cracking! Hope it helps :)

I am a 43-44 chest, and the large was just a little snug with a regular shirt on underneath, so I went to the extra large, since I wanted to be able to wear a fleece with the jacket sometimes.

Hi there. 6'2" and 185 my size is Large. Fit is tight on the torso and quite long sleeves. In your case I would say medium, but again that depends on your body type. Wearing a shirt under this, might be uncomfotable under the arms. Hope that helps.

The jacket is suppose to fit snug so I would recommend you order your husband's actual size. I'll explain why; this jacket fits very odd on a woman. I normally wear a women's large top because a have full breasts and a medium bottom because I have narrower hips and not much backside. However, I ordered this top in an XXL thinking it would be a snug fit across the breasts. Well it was just the opposite, it fit snug at the hips and generous at the top, shoulders and arms, like a men's size would normally fit a woman allowing for broader shoulders.

I wear a mens xxl and it pretty much fits true to size. I am a 52 in jackets... So figure a mens xxl would be spot on for a larger, 200plus lb. man. A larger female could probably fit a large or xl.

I got an XXL thinking that the XL would probably be snug with a hoodie or heavy shirt. (I would normally wear an XL). So for that reason I went a size bigger and found that the cut of the jacket allows for great fit with a t-shirt or a hoodie. So kind of unintentionally I found that 1 size bigger is THE perfect size (for me).

I'm female and normally wear XL. I found the men's XL to fit the same as most XL sized clothing elsewhere. However, the women's sizes run a lot smaller. I had gone to Cabela's Sporting store and tried both men and women's Whilibird jackets. Although the jackets were the same size, the women's was a lot tighter in the torso section and the arms are very small. So, if you don't like shirts with pencil arm sleeves, then you will not like the women's version. I felt it limited my movement and uncomfortable. So, I went with the men's. Bottom line, your body shape probably needs to be long and evenly proportioned to get into the women's XL. The men's is more forgiving. I'm female and normally wear XL.

I purchased a medium and was extremely nervous as I read reviews about the jacket running small. The medium fits true to size! I can't speak for other sizes...i also have long arms and was worried the medium would be too small...almost went a size bigger but happy that i didn't!! :-)

I have this jacket and always wear a hoodie. I live in a suburb of Buffalo NY so you know it can be a "wee bit chili"!!! I wear a small normally but got a medium to fit the hoodie. I suggest you go one size up to allow for the hoodie...I did and it's perfect.

Yes it is true. I had issues with the sizing but measuring your chest is the best way to do it.

I'm 5'9, chest 39", bought the XL and it fits well (I don't like it to be too tight). I recommend on XL (better little big than too small)
