Thank you for the reply.

I am new to the ring jacket, but have long admired their sport jackets. I haven't made the plunge to purchase for sizing concerns. I purchased a size 34 US (44 IT/EU) from S&M and Pini Parma to dip my toes into the sartorial world, however I found out that the jackets fit too snug around my back/chest area, I sized up to 36 to try it out for SS and Natalino and they're perfect around the chest/ back, however the Natalino jacket is quite long, I'm a short and slim fella at 5'6" (168cm) and around 136 lbs, however I'm in good shape, zero belly and have a V taper torso.

So, I guess the question for anyone that may know is, will a size 46 fit me well, after alterations of course or does the Ring Jacket run big?

Thank you

I think what you want are the models made for the Japanese/Asian market as these run shorter than the American models (e.g. Armoury Model 3, TAJ models). Check out Drop93 for examples with measurements.

I’m a bit taller than you and like 8 9 pounds heavier than you and I’m EU44 in model 3 and model 1. Something like 184 I’m definitely at least EU46 though

I’m a bit taller than you and like 8 9 pounds heavier than you and I’m EU44 in model 3 and model 1. Something like 184 I’m definitely at least EU46 though

This is the size chart for the model 3 according to drop99 website.

	EU 44	EU 46	EU 48	EU 50
Shoulder Width	CM | "	45CM | 17.7"	46CM | 18.1"	47CM | 18.5"
Chest	CM | "	51CM | 20"	52CM | 20.4"	54CM | 21.2"
Waist	CM | "	46CM | 18.1"	47CM | 18.5"	48.5CM | 19"
Body Length	CM | "	75CM | 29.5"	75.5CM | 29.7"	78CM | 30.7"
Sleeve Length	CM | "	63CM | 24.8"	64CM | 25.1"	65CM | 25.5"

This is the size chart for Natalino, it's the jacket that best fits me across the chest and back.

The biggest difference is the sleeve and body length, chess and waist are pretty similar. I could find size chart for 44 EU in the model 3. I'm all ears on what you recommend. My lats do flair out when I reach forward or cross my arms, otherwise I think I would perfectly fit a 44 EU.

SIZE (IT)	44	46	48	50	52	54
SIZE (UK/US)	34	36	38	40	42	44
SHOULDER (A)	17.7	18.1	18.5	18.9	19.3	19.7
CHEST (B)	19.7	20.5	21.3	22	22.8	23.6
WAIST (C)	17.3	18.1	18.9	19.7	20.5	21.3
LENGTH (D)	28.7	29.1	29.5	29.9	30.3	30.7
SLEEVE LENGTH (E)	23.6	24	24.4	24.8	25.2	25.6

Looks like I’m definitely a size 46, I’ll have the waist taken in and sleeves shortened. Ring jacket does have working buttons right? This is an expensive fix since I want to keep the working buttons. Also, if I need to shorten the overall length by 1” or so would it look unbalanced due to the lower buttoning point and flap pockets?

I’ve also been considering going MTM with an in person service from Enzo custom that has an office in my city, but I’m on the fence on that one.

RJ has unfinished sleeves, so you can shorten them and add working button holes afterward.

 

[clee1982]

Probably a different preference thing but if you’re almost 10 lb lighter than I would think you’re EU44 in model 3. 1 inch off in length is definitely the max I would do, and as the other guy said, sleeve is unfinished.

A size 44 model 3 will probably work out to be perfect for you - Im 173cms and a size is just the right length for me (but this ultimately is determined by your torso length.

Im a size 48 on Susu and I’ve have more than enough room on a 46 Model 3 RJ. Although, size 46 Balloon jackets (JP model) fit me OTR amazingly

Heading to NYC for the first time and hella excited to drop in -- is there a difference to the two Armoury shops? I'm likely to visit both anyway but anything in particular?

 

[EA-male-worldorder]

where can i find this shirt mark cho is wearing, i looked at both ascot chang and armoury online shop and none of them carry button down shirts...

 

[K. Nights]

I'm sure it's not a shirt from a current collection. The video is nine months old and he also mentions it's a shirt he hadn't worn in a while.

Pretty good chance it's something he just had made for himself by AC and wasn't carried in the shop anyway.

I would email them ahead to see if you’re looking to try on specific things in specific size and if they have in one over the other shop

Tribeca store is more narrowly focused on tailored clothes.

Any thoughts on how this jacket might fare as a separate (with jeans/chinos)?

Did some research on the topic but would love to hear some thoughts!

It will look like an orphaned suit jacket, because it is one.
