I just got this parka in small. I'm 5'8", 150 lbs, normal build. It fits a bit loose, it looks VERY bulky. It make me look like a big bodybuilder. This parka is warm and perfect for the cold weather.The jacket IS very heavy and the hood is not perfect!
I have tried the Ice jacket which is more slim fit and perfect as causal wear. However I will still keep this parka for the extra cold days. :-)

I'm 5'9", 140ish pounds, normally a men's small or a 36R. I got this coat in the kid's XL size and the fit is almost perfect. You'll still look "big" in a heavy down parka like this, no matter what size you wear, but if you're looking for a snugger fit, take a look at the kid's sizes next time!
