Let's get this straight! :)
This is going to be my first review on amazon although I buy things from here all the time. There's somewhat of a misconception about this item. First of all, its good quality 100% cotton, feels soft and lovely. If you want "slim fit" then follow the company's guideline (not Amazon's guideline) and you will have your slim fit. Now if you want to layer clothes under the jacket, I suggest you get a size bigger. DO NOT GET TWO SIZE BIGGER unless you want to layer like 3-5 sweater shirts under it.
Also, I hate it when people give incomplete measurements and hope it helps people, it doesn't..... So here it is: I am 5'6 or 66". I weigh exactly 140lbs. My over bust is 35, under bust is 31, waist is 29, hips is 35. Shoulders are approx 14.5" or 15". I usually wear a size 10/medium.
I bought "US Medium (Asian Large) on the recommendation of the commenters. Which was....... okay I suppose. I like super baggy clothes though it wasn't my intent to get it like that, I was going for SLIM FIT. So on my next order I'm going to purchase "US X/S (Small)" because that is the COMPANY'S true sizing.
(US XS/Small-----Chest 37.5", Shoulder 16", Length 23.6", Sleeve 24")
The reason I gave 5 stars is because the jacket is awesome and it is not their fault that I listened to the commenters instead of their guidelines. Oh, and on a side note, for the people who bought the jacket a tad too big, you guys know you CAN just put it in the washer on hot and then put it in the dry on hot, right? Just make sure you check it often to prevent super shrinkage. And if your zipper is "stuck" you can always get a candle and slide it down the zipper so it can slide easier. Smh.
Overall its a good buy, and just remember, READ THE COMPANY'S "Description" and "Features/details" BEFORE buying. Maybe that will prevent you from putting some useless feedback and confusing the rest of us!
