The second shots show that it looks like an excellent fit overall minus the untucked shirt. Fantastic jacket. Sleeves are slightly short, but I think it looks fine. My sleeves are too long and I don't mind them either.

Cheers gents, and thanks for the previous sizing advice @ProteinNerd , solidified my choice for a 44 rather than 42 (would’ve been brutal!).

I’m well aware of your hatred for the untucked . Was just illustrating length , rest assured it’ll be tucked unless it’s a tee from here on!

I haven't tucked in a shirt since 1985 so don't feel you have to.

IMHO some shirts look better tucked in others don’t.

Casual shirts I think they look fine untucked, just a matter of personal preference.

Also a tucked in shirt gives away a much more formal vibe that is not always desirable.

Untucked casual shirts don't bother me unless hanging below a jacket bottom as some kind of style then they appear exceedingly sloppy to me.

I only tuck in for TFL photos!

Don't worry about the 1" in the chest. And don't worry about the sleeve length. Just enjoy it.

For what it's worth, I don't tend to tuck in unless I'm wearing a jacket. If I am wearing a jacket and the shirt falls below it I'd always tuck in.

Part of it is just that it's really hard to judge the fit of a jacket with an untucked shirt, especially when the jacket is zipped. Of course I think it doesn't look good, but in this context, I'm only saying it in terms of being able to judge the fit.

I stopped trucking in my shirt after I had my colon removed. I wear a stoma pouch that creates a bulge at my abs. One time in a 7-11 I was asked if I was packing a gun. So style, be dammed I wear my shirt outside my pants for all the honest world to see.

No one was criticizing anyone for wearing a shirt untucked because of a physical disability. Just that it certainly is difficult if not impossible in some cases to determine if a jacket fits in length with the shirttail hanging below the jacket. Also appears much neater tucked or not sticking out below the jacket.

@ HooslerDaddy
I am not disabled, going on 70 I race a 17' sailboat that requires hiking out to balance, hard on the abs, I ride a Ducati Multistrada at going to jail speeds in the mountains, I work the foredeck on my 40' keel sailboat on San Francisco Bay in 20 knot winds and I walk my retriever 2 miles a day along the marshlands wearing a leather jacket weather permitting with my shirt untucked and always wearing a fedora or western hat

Your jacket looks good. I agree the sleeves look a bit short on you compared to how I like my jacket sleeves to fit, but with you built shorted fitting sleeves may be common with stock sized jackets

Nicely put. I'm heading towards 55. I run 20 feet to catch my morning bus. Sometimes I reverse park my Honda Civic without hitting the guy behind me. I sit at a desk for hours at a stretch wondering what the weather is like outside whilst drinking coffee after coffee. I think my prostate needs medical attention. I like the look of an untucked shirt.
