who bought the John Smedley SF Sweater ? Sizing inquiry here

Double0zero

thinking about getting the John Smedley Black Bobby V Neck Sweater...

im 160 LBs with 38 inch chest.

looking for a fitted look.

Normally, i would go with Small.

but I hear the sweater runs small and I should get a Medium.

Any advice would be appreciated

I'm your stats and got a small. Definitely fitted. Not too tight, but a medium should still be fitted. What's your height? I'm 5'10 and didn't want it any longer in the waist.

Double0zero

iam 5'10 as well

do you feel you have room in the S just in case you gain a little weight or wash it more often ?

or is it just too perfectly fitted with no room for more ???

im torn !!! ?:)

I would go for the small. I have a 42-43 inch chest and the medium fits perfect on me. I don't think it would be very fitted on you.

Bumping this.

I have a 37" chest and I am wondering if I should go with a XS or a S. What do you guys think?

How tall are you? I'd probably go with an XS if I were you. I'm 5'9.5, 42" chest with an athletic build and I fit into the small-size pretty easily. Depends on what you want to do with it though, as I also have a medium-size one to wear over top of a dress shirt. The small is just for wearing by itself as it's tight (I like the snug feel ).

I'm 140 lbs, 5'10 height and I went with a small.

I am 5'7" with a 37" chest and 18-18.5" shoulders, also 145lbs. I can go between smalls or mediums depending on the brand because of my shoulders.

Still think I should get the X-Small? I keep reading it's a fitted sweater and I feel like if I bought a X-Small it would be like stuffing a sausage. I am very well muscled for my height so I don't want to have it look like I spray painted it on.

Hmm, given those dimensions I think you could really go either way. If you want a skin-tight fit, go with the XS. If you want something fitted that could still have room for a dress shirt underneath (like the Daniel Craig look), go with the S.

It was actually cool enough where I live on Monday that I got to wear my small-sized Bobby. It was awesome, but I'm glad I have the medium for layering purposes.

Definitely going with the small, especially due to inevitable washing it shall receive.
