I’m eyeing a couple of Schott 681s on Vinted; a 38 and a 40. I’m 180 cm tall, relaxed chest is about 97 at its widest point. I wear 32 waist in jeans. Shoulders on a snug fitting jacket are 45. Does anyone know whether I’m a 38 or 40? According to the Schott size chart 38 is small and 40 is...

Looks more like cape skin than horse hide. Is it soft?

Size 40 might work for me. Can you DM me with details?
