i purchased this jacket in a L, but am wondering if M will fit me better. I am 5'10, athletic build, wide shoulders and weigh 185lbs. i wear a size 42S for suits. Any thoughts? Will M be too small? The jacket fits, but as some posters have indicated it's a little on the loose side at the waist area

My figure is very similar to you. I am also 5'10 and 183 lbs. My chest is 43". I tried to put on both M and L at a local shop recently. My impression was I am in between M and L. If you use this jacket with light layers like fleece, M would fit you better. However, if you want to have a heavy layer like puffy jacket underneath it, L would be better. With MH compressor jacket underneath, M was very tight in chest. I hope that helps.

I would stay with the large if I were you. With wider shoulders you're going to be miserable with it being too snug. It might be a little loose in the waist but the alternative is much worse of a problem. You could always order it and send it back but I think you're still going to be best in the large.Hope that helps.
