Re: Wested sizing
Their jackets have 4 inches of room in chest, so if you order 44 size, the chest will measure 48 inches and I think that is enough to wear a jumper under jacket in winter.
Re: Wested sizing
Just to confuse matters; I measure 48 snug, bought a 50 and it fits perfectly.

Re: Wested sizing
Or also to confuse matters, I have a 41-42" chest and a 44 was too tight when zipped.

Re: Wested sizing
To unconfuse things; Wested sizing may vary. Measure at your own risk, and do a bit of this:
Re: Wested sizing
I have a size 50 chest and have had several Westeds. Fit was never a problem but CJ is completely correct that a little won't hurt!
Re: Wested sizing
I´m joining the growing confusion.
I have a 44" chest and a 46 LC fits a bit snug zipped completely up. While a 48 is absolutely comfortable for me that way. But again, that´s a personal preference, as I like to layer up and wear the jacket during the colder months as well.
Your shoulder width may also matter a little bit.

I would try to talk (phone is best or via email if the phone isn't practical) to Peter directly. He would be able to give you the best advice.

Re: Wested sizing
Wested jackets are supposed to have 4 inches of wiggle room built into the chest. My two Westeds do. When ordering a size 44 jacket, for instance, you can specify in the special request box that you would like the jacket to measure 24 inches pit-to-pit. While this shouldn't be necessary, it may make you feel better while you wait for your jacket!
