York Woolly Pully Vee Neck Sweater with Patches (Medium / 40-42 inch, Black)

The medium was perfect for my 40 inch chest. That said, I have a 29 inch waist, I'm 5'8" and weigh 142lbs.Not being a jackass--Gentlemen, you need remember these were designed for British Commandos, who tend to be in exceptional physical condition.The waist is DRAMATICALLY cinched in from the shoulders.If you have a pronounced gut, this will not only show it, though accentuate it to comical proportions.I've read the reviews about ordering a size up, and that may be the case if your chest is larger than your waist by more than six inches.Ideally, these are designed for men having a chest at least nine inches greater than their waist (order to size, if this is your case.)Any less and the vertical ribs at the waist will splay out and you will look like a weisswurst in an ill-fitting sausage casing.Final analysis--a splendidly made and beautifully-fitting sweater IF fit enough to approximate the bodies it was designed for.

The product runs on the small side. I normally buy medium but this was too tight.

Looks good. Fits a little big.
