I scored an amazing deal on a Cooper A-2 this week. I’m probably closer to a size 40 but after reading on the Lounge how these can run baggy, I took a chance on a 38 because the price was unbeatable. This one does not run baggy - it fits a perfect size 38, I’d say.

So what do you think? Too small, or a trim but acceptable fit? Should I keep it or move it on? Thanks!

The sleeves could be a tad longer, but otherwise I think it's good. But I am also not a fan of baggy.

It doesn’t look too small from the photos. How does it feel, do you have a good range of motion with the jacket zipped up?

It’s pretty comfy. Nothing about it seems uncomfortable. But as Mr. Propper said, sleeves may be a little short.

That's exactly the way the sleeves should fit, with the extended knits right at your wrists. You don't want them tunneling.

No standard-size off-the-rack jacket has EVER fit me that well. I always need the sleeves taken up. You are LUCKY, dude!

Whoa, thanks, Doc! And everyone else, too. I was kind of worried about it but you’re all making me feel better.
