Donegal = move from slim to contemp
Gun check = up one size
everything else = normal size

Is this because of the shoulders? or chest/waist?
I ask because I took in about an inch or so around the waist from the slim previously... wonder if the slim would now fit me without any alteration...

FWIW I was able to stick to my normal 40 slim on the donegal. It fits a bit more snug than others but nothing crazy. I tried a 40 contemp as well and it fit the same in the shoulders and chest. I stuck with slim so I didn’t have to take in the waist.

If you’re taking in the waist as is on a slim I say stick to the same size for the donegal.

The gun check I went up to 42 contemp, but only because I couldn’t get a 42 slim. It’s very thick and fits very small.

Suppose I can't blame the guy for asking, but honestly, if you ordered something a few days ago, you should have known a Black Friday sale was coming and just waited. :tongue:

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. I'm trying to resist purchasing that new awesome tuxedo even though I have absolutely no use for one in the foreseeable future.
