I'm going to order that telegraph jacket/pants. The sizing is crazy, though. The 40 is between the 36 and 38 shirts on chest size. I noticed that too. It blows my whole "when in doubt, size for the shoulders" gameplan. The tailor can always fix that if the chest is a tent but when it's too small....no place to go. |

After I measured my slimmest jacket, a 40r Banana Republic blazer at 41" per the TS fit guide I went ahead and ordered the 40 jacket and 33 pants in the espresso birdseye. It was my first order so I used the 15% off code and with $6 (!) shipping it only totaled $238.05. Seems like a pretty damn good deal. I liked the pant measurements except for the 15" cuff opening, but maybe it will be closer to 15.5" hemmed to a 34" inseam.

I know some people here will be excited. only if they call it Sandvas. and just a little FYI, it's already on the site, Moss or Black, $78. They both look pretty great. |

So size up from G shirt to TS? A Gustin XL classic = TS 44 for me. Just so happen to be wearing mine tonite. Don't mind the wrinkles (had it tucked earlier) and the color in the pic isn't quite right.  |

So size up from G shirt to TS? I've found the 42 and the Gustin Classic Large to be pretty similar, TS gives a little more space in the chest. |

So size up from G shirt to TS? I think that all depends on your chest to belly ratio. If you look at the TS size guide, it tapers down from the chest then flares out a little at the bottom. The G shirts don't do that (they are much roomier). I have an XL G that fits tight in the shoulders but is crazy roomy from the chest down. I'm trying to decide between the 40 and 42 based on the fit guide--i'm 6'1"/180. I'm leaning toward the 40, but a bit worried about snugness below. |

Gents, I recommend backing both colors if its in your budget. The black one is bad ass but I've actually received more compliments on the Moss
Green.

So that's a 44 in the pic. |

stinky - I'm 5'11" , 190lb (little bit of a bear belly) I've tryed a TS 42 and found it to snug all around. The 44" gives me a bit of room to work in. Problably a 43 would be perfect (but I'm not starting a 43UNITE! Campaign  (oddly I haven't ordered a 37" Gustin yet

Thanks for the followup Diggy. I'm a bit concerned about your bear diet, though.
The smart money is on a 42 for me (I'm 6'1"/180), but I need to get at my Medium J Crew reg fit shirts to measure them. My wife might think it's a bit odd for me to be digging in the closet at 1130 while she's trying to sleep, though.
I want this shirt to fit well, but not snug. I just tried on a L Gap WS which is about 46 in the chest, and it is hella large on me.
If only I put this much thought and attention to detail into work and child-rearing . . .

My vote would be on the 42. No worries on my Beah diet. Only have one light Beah at 3am when I'm done work. All the Bah's are closed. |

Bear diet do increase belly fat. It's proven.
I like the black shirt...shod I back it or not is the question. Doing good not spending but it looks bad ass.

Trigger pulled on a 42 black. I had a discount code as well, so it was just over $70.
I noticed from Diggity's picture that the fabric is puckered at the stitching which tells me it will shrink a bit.

I noticed from Diggity's picture that the fabric is puckered at the stitching which tells me it will shrink a bit. Mine haven't shrunk at all stinky. I've cold washed and hang dried all three of mine and they haven't shrunk at all, fyi. I honestly was going to recommend a 40 for you but I don't want to confuse the issue any more. They just seem like they sewed up a little on the larger side imo, especially in the length, but maybe that was only the case with earlier rounds of the Mechanics shirt, I don't know. I'm 6'1'', cut down to about 182 now and the 40 is damn near perfect for me. The only issue I have with it is when I bend my elbows the forearms and sleeves get a bit tight. Not too much to where it's overly annoying but I wish they were a tad bit looser. Plus I roll my sleeves up most the time so when I do that it takes away the tightness when I bend my elbows. |

Wait, a 40 works perfect for you? So that would make me like a 38? Or even a 36? |

Guess so, seeing as I'm a 40 or 42 in TS.

Yeah, on a related note, I have the Railroad stripe in a 40. Feels a bit big on me now (I'm 5'11", 165-170lbs).
Actually, as I write this I realize I don't really wear it anymore because it is a bit too big... maybe I should offload it.

Okay, maybe I should move it down to a 40. The only thing that worries me is the stomach at 41"
