Buying a Suit/Blazer Jacket, What Size?

[Ashdil]

So I am looking at buying a suite jacket it is considered a 42L

The measurements are below:

Shoulders, across back: 19 1/2"

Total Chest Measurement: 45"

Outside Sleeve: 26 1/2"

Length, from Nape (bottom of collar): 32"

Its pretty cheap and VERY nice. However, I am a 44L. My chest measures 43" to 44". I wear a shirt with a length of 35-36". So I am wondering if this jacket will fit?

Even knowing the measurements isn't a guarantee that you can tell if it will fit. Different designers have different cuts to their blazers. I would recommend trying it on, or if it's online then check to see if there is a return policy you can utilize in case it doesn't fit.

Get one size bigger. That's the rule of thumb.
