Can confirm that the numbers fit exactly like the numbers used to, even though the letters have changed.

Wife declared "I don't like inside out garments" so the reverse Duke is going back, but the Duke vest is staying, and I'm picking up the awesome gray/brown/black fair isle instead. Also got the Peat maroon yesterday too, and that's just a gorgeous color.

Back to Jamieson's sizing, I have a fair isle vest tagged S that fits well, what is the recommendation in chest sizing for that? 38 or 40?

The way that Jamieson's labels/labeled things, that would either be a 36 or 38. 40 used to be L, now seems to be M, and 42 used to be XL now L.

I do like to go with my actual chest size, so I'm an actual 41" and take a 42 Jamiesons's (and usually a 42R/52IT jacket) so that might also help?

Hard to say conclusively but probably 36

I have a 38 in chest and usually wear a 38/48 jacket, so that may be the way to go.

Is it fair to say that 42 corresponds to an L, 44 XL etc?

Did anyone ever have any fit pics of this Valstar jacket in Harris Tweed?

Actually wore that today (over a IM rollneck in Turf)! No pics but it’s a great piece—it’s Valstar so what else would you expect?
