By way of whatever, here's a photo I took just now when I got in from a no-reason-but-the-sun's-shining ride.
This is my all season armoured riding jacket, from Merlin in oxblood cow. I bought it in a 40 to give me layering room on my 39" chest measurement. I always used to think I should have got a 38 because this felt a bit too roomy.
But here it is over just a t shirt, and as I posted earlier, lately I'm more concerned with just being comfortable.
And in spite of everything, I don't even think it looks like a generous fit. I think it looks like it fits just right. And it's not the jacket that's changed, it's my relaxing view on how a range of fits can still all fit.
