Can anyone help me with this?

I am looking at an online website at some clothes. They have a sale on and I am thinking of treating myself. I've seen a jacket that i like (at a nice price too) but am confuddled by the sizing.

When it comes to jackets I am generally a size 'small' (36-38). They only have this jacket here in small, which would normally be perfect for me:

However, when you click on the size guide, you get taken to this screen:

For size 'small' it says to 'To Fit' is (36), which is fine. But then it says 'Chest Size' is (44 3/4). Is it me or does that sound too 'big' for a size small? Have i got it correct? Would the jacket be too big for me?

Also it says the sleeve length is (35 3/4) which seems insanely huge.

All the sizes are in inches.

Please help

Yours

I don't really understand men's sizes Rawky. I know my mister is a shirt collar size 17.5, and that I buy X-L tops and L boxers for him (

)....but he does all the suit and jacket chest size things and inside leg trouser stuff.
Sorry.

44" chest is not 'small' but with leather they usually do allow extra inches for room (but not usually 71/2 extra?) .....can you e-mail the support desk and double check?

Very nice jacket btw!

I do like the review from the 63 year old lady. if you know someone who's a size 14 try on their jacket.

I agree with you Rawky, the figures look absurd - I guess I'm much the same as you, and there is no way I could wear this - the sleeves would almost reach down to my knees. The only measurement which seems fair is 26 3/4 for the length.

Those figures do sound off Rawky.

Maybe the jacket is designed for people with a stoop
