Thank you for the reply!
I should note that I'm 5'10 and 163 pounds.
Again, maybe I'm just imagining things since I'm so used to the Menlo feeling perfectly invisible on me, that the heavier G&B creates an illusion of snugness that might not even be there. By the way, it does droop about an inch off my shoulder, so that's a good sign. I rather like bit of shoulder droopiness, it adds character.
Still, I'll keep an eye out for a 40R if one ever pops up on eBay - I'd like to just try one on at least, and if it's too big, I'll probably keep it anyway and wear jumpers underneath.
I once bought a second hand G&B Civil A-2 in 40R from eBay a few years ago, and it was waaaaaay too snug in the chest, disappointingly. I was starting to wonder whether I'd bulked out too much, requiring a 42, but that couldn't be the case, since I've never been bigger than a 39 inch chest. I loved that tough dark brown goatskin leather though - amazing material, and I love it in my Expo too.
They don't make it simple!
