I've been looking at a Baracuta too. I'm struggling to get a feel for the sizing. Do they fit true to size or did you go up one size?

Then sell it to them and let them risk it! I have the same jacket (also 42) and agree with Frank (and your own findings) that the jackets fits well in some places but definitely has much more across the shoulders than mine. The style does give some room in the back - but yours has more than...
