How large is a "large"? I take and XL t-shirt (44 chest) and would like to be able to wear this vest overtop a winter jacket

To me it's very large. I'm on the short side and petite in build so I thought I'd take my chances thinking it might be a "small" fitting large but to me it's for somebody that weighs at least 30-50lbs more than me. The arm area is really big so nice to wear over big jacket and sleeves. I'll either give it away or see if I can get a friend to take it in for me.

I am 46" chest and use an XL. It will be a snug fit over a winter jacket but it will work OK.

No - I wear a medium normally and, while it was a little bit loose, I'm about 99% sure that wouldn't work.

I wear a large tshirt and can wear it over a motorcycle jacket. I'd say this would be to small for you. Especially over a winter jacket. Sorry

I don't think a Large will work for you. I couldn't wear it over a sweatshirt, much less a winter coat, and I'm probably a 40 chest. I gave the Large to a co-worker and bought the XL, which fits. I suggest buying the largest available size. If it happens to be too big, anyone who sews can easily put a dart in the back to make it smaller.

Large would be fine Heidi...you wouldn't want a vest that was too tight...mine fit perfectly and sounds like I am the same size as your husband...

I don't believe this would be a good vest for you depending on just how large your chest is. The material doesn't have a lot of give but the Velcro on the shoulders can make the top wider while the side straps and belt can make the waist smaller. I would say C, if I had to guess, would be the largest breast it would accommodate comfortably but I honestly can't say for sure.

I wear a med. shirt & a guy that has this same vest is a 2 x. I have the straps at the top as little as they will go. It is a little bulky around the shoulders on me. I just got it this year so I just figured it will take a little getting used to. I thought about taking it to a seamstress to get the top a little less bulky. I hope this helps.

One size larger than what you normally wear. I normally wear mens XL and had to reorder XXL. If it is for yourself and depending on how loose you want the garment to fit you may want to go up two sizes. Remember this garnment is meant to be worn under a fleece top or sweater. Regards Rick

x-large should be ok. take 44 (i think) and it fits fine with a little room to spare...

I'm a big guy usually wear a 3x shirt I tried on a bunch of jackets at the local shops and they were all tight so I decided a 4x would be right. My 4x is a little snug but I believe they are supposed to be so they won't bunch up if you wreck if you wear a M shirt I would suggest a large jacket if nothing else if it don't fit right I'm pretty sure they would let you return and exchange

I got an automated "can you answer this" email from amazon. I think the top number in the size chart in amazon is the "Jacket Size". Similar to when you buy a suit off the rack. From there it lists chest, waist etc... I recommend going to their website for sizing info (that's what i did). I bought an extra-large and my typical suit size would be a 42-44. It fits closely with the liner in and is short. But that is the fit of a motorcycle jacket. So if you plan to ride without the liner go a bit smaller, if you will ride mostly with the liner go a bit bigger. I like the jacket. Good luck.

I have one of these in size XL and it fits similar to most common brands of XL t-shirts through the chest and length. You should be good to go with whatever size you commonly buy.

I had a very similar question. I did some Googling and found my way to www.shouldersback.net. Per their site, a medium will fit up to a 38" chest. The large fits up to a 50" chest. They also have a toll free number, 877-437-8434. If you still aren't sure on the sizing, give them a call. I'm sure they will be happy to help :-)

I just wore my long johns and a shirt over them and put a coat on. If my coat was too small I ordered the next size up. ....average male should be a large

I'd start with a medium. It should be snug, for the correct support, but I think the small would be much too tight. Amazon is very good about exchanging, if need be. We opted for the vest, instead, and ordered it when we returned the shirt. Amazon credited our account as soon as the shirt left the post office, and while the vest was on its way. It was a smooth exchange.

I'm a 38 chest and wear the medium over a jacket. You should probably go for a large.

It fits the same size as a extra small to small tshirt. The regular size vest is the same size as a medium to large tshirt, and the large vest is the same size as a extra large to 2x tshirt

I wear a 46L jacket and the XL in this Tingley jacket fit me perfectly. I love the jacket.

I haven't actually worn mine and it is up for the winter, but I think that the sides are adjustable. I was advised by my friend who I tried on in September when it was blazing hot and his fit, that it is suppose to be worn snug. His was so nice and cool and the weight of the vest eased the tension in my neck. I weigh between 150 and 190 and ordered L/XL. Tried it on when I got it. Fit fine. Am looking forward to wearing mine this summer.
