Any Gibson & Barnes Expedition owners out there in size 40 and or 42 able to give me the armpit - armpit measurements. I'm considering an expedition to purchase in the future and would like to get the correct fit.

Thanks.

I measured my full chest to be 42inches so I ordered a 42R. A 40R would have fitted snugly. A 42 gives me LOTS of room to add a simple sweater. My suggestion. The size suit jacket that you wear will have the same fit as the expedition. Just my 2 cents.
Good Luck!

Gee. The poor guy asked for an armpit to armpit measurement and you give him 2 cents?

My chest is just shy of 41 inches. Since I fall in between, I thought I ask for some measurements. I like the fit of my Wested "standard" in 42. If the expedition is similar to it's size, I would be good.

You should go with a 40R. My 42R expedition Goat measures 26" pit-to-pit, a little too much in my opinion. My chest measures exactly 42", so I'll go with the 40R next time in Lamb.

Good luck. It's a wonderful jacket.

Thanks for the responses and measurement. The 42 definitely sounds too big. My current jackets are around 23in armpit to armpit and they fit just right.

Thanks again
