    Thank you....! I mentioned medium because it (the UK size guide) says it fits 39.5 which would be perfect for me....but you're saying it might be too small despite the measurement? Maybe for the price I should get a large and a medium?

    Can anyone pick me up one as well? Medium if available?

    As Westward Drift said, the UK sizes run one size smaller than U.S. sizes (UK Large = U.S. medium). And Mango fits small to begin with. So if you need one from the UK site a size large may be a better bet. Just a suggestion!

    I'm a size 40 suit and a medium in almost every brand. For that moto jacket Mango had a few years ago I went with the UK large/U.S. medium and it's wearable but a tight fit. Granted that was the style of that jacket and this one looks a little more forgiving. But I still went with the UK large with this one. But heck, at $13 each probablly better safe than sorry if you want to order 2. I'm sure you'll have no problem selling the one that doesn't fit.

    Edit: for comparison I find the Mango fit very similar to Massimo Dutti. And I always need a large from them.

    If someone can grab an XXL for me I'll be happy to cover all costs. Thanks!

    All sold out on Mango US site or else I'd grab one and Mango UK won't ship to Canada. -{

    I wasn't sure what to do, so ordered myself a Medium (have the cafe racer jacket canoe2 mentioned also and that fits me well in a Medium - snugly but nice) and a second Medium thinking that I'd have no trouble moving it on to someone. Happy to push the button on a couple more to help some people out so long as I get reimbursed swiftly. For reference I'm a 40" chest, 33" waist and get a Medium pretty much everywhere except for some of the US stores that offer a little more room in their fits.

    Yeah, you guys really cleaned them out!

    For those who missed on the Mango, I can highly recommend the Save Khaki version. This one has the drawstring waist which. to me, is more important to matching the look than the proper pockets. Mine arrived yesterday and I was surprised how much I like it.

    The fit does look closer with the slightly looser arms. I'm not too keen on work jackets though.
    I like the Mango one with the patch pockets; looks good.

    I'm surprised they haven't reverted back to the original price.

    Cant say no to that price, haven't been a fan of that look myself but as a relatively short term lurker on these forums you guys have been costing me a fortune.

    Anyone got theirs yet? I do quite like the look although it's maybe a little slim.

    Sorry, yes: Mango. I'm not sure how quick they deliver. They have some quite nice other bits on their site.

    Ah great! Thanks. Is it nice to wear?
  • ellipsis97ellipsis97 Posts: 54MI6 Agent
    Yeah the quality feels good, not the type of jacket i'd typically wear but i guess it's nice for some occasions
  • hcantrellhcantrell CharlottePosts: 170MI6 Agent
    I got my Murano one, still waiting on the Mango jacket. I'll be either returning or selling the Murano, it feels great, it's quality materials, but it's meant to be worn and not lived in. The armholes aren't high enough to allow for very much movement and I just don't like clothing that restricts me like that. I want to be able to reach my arms in the air, out in front of me, tie my shoes, ride a motorcycle, etc. Hopefully the Mango has more movement capabilities.

    Any uk members be willing to forward one to me in the states .? I have tried a forwarding service and paying with PayPal and the mango outlet uk just spins continuously and never go through.
    I’m 42 inch chest so I’m guessing uk xl. I’d also pay someone for their time to get it to me. Please pm and thanks in advance

    Just to reiterate
    Ive now ordered 2 M, 3 L and 2 XL
    Likely the 3 Larges are taken
    But will happily relocate any spares rather than return them
    So watch the thread for update on which ones are up
    Exp arrival is early next week

    Alternatives update and review.

    As has been mentioned, the Murano Trucker Jacket looks amazing and is well made, but doesn't fit me comfortably in any size. The Medium and Large I ordered will be shipping back to the eBay seller today if anyone else wants to give 'em a shot.

    The Save Khaki Work Jacket is a lightweight cotton twill slim-fit "shirt jacket." I wear a Medium in most tops, and this one was too snug for me in the arms and chest even for a shirt. I'm not thrilled with the style enough to order a Large.

    Hope this helps. -{
