Trying out a Vanson B in competition weight, posting for a fit check.

Feels pretty snug around the middle, and the shoulders feel a little big, but I feel like it would settle in after a while.

Thoughts?
I think it looks good.nothing to worry about there.it will feel better once it takes on your shape.

I think yours looks pretty good starting, CW develops.

My B in Octagon with very little break in, but settled

It looks OK. However, the shoulders and sleeves aren't going to shrink. The middle isn't going to grow. So it will likely never feel quite right. I would always go for a bit oversized over a bit tight. In your case you have both. Maybe that model isn't the best choice for you if comfort is important. The competition weight isn't going to be as forgiving for the 1st 10 years of wear.
