Hey guys, I'm just over 6' tall and 160 pounds. I have a small chest (~38") but broader/thicker shoulders. I find mediums are usually pretty tight in the shoulders, but larges are usually way to big in the torso (30" waist). What size should I get? ~33-34" sleevesThanks!

I would try a schmedium and see how that fits. Cheers!---------------------------At 5'7" 155 lbs, I fit into a medium very well and have the same chest size and waist as you do. I'm not sure how the larges fit in the waist and shoulders with this jacket, but because of this shoulder problem you say you have and the fact that your taller than I, you might want to lean toward a large as the medium was a perfect fit for someone smaller in height like me in the waist and the shoulders.
