Can I get your opinions. I typically wear a size 40R and this jacket is a 42L. I am looking at sizing up because of my chest. I have suspicions that this jacket is just a tad too wide on the shoulders. Maybe a tad long for my body poportions even though Ihave a longer torso at 20 inches for my 5’11’’ height.
I know if I kept it I would need to have the sleeves shortened and the back taken in some. I just don’t want to do it if it is just to big on my shoulders no matter how much I love the cloth.

Although not so big on the shoulders, the overall impression is that the jacket is too wide. As for the length, it's on the long side, somehow old-fashioned, but doesn't look bad or disproportioned (a whole body picture would be useful, though): I think that it's a matter of personal taste. Did you ever try a 40L?
