Leather jacket sizing help

Brooklyn

Hi all. I can't stop thinking about this Sam Edelman leather jacket. Before I even think about ordering (cos it's pretty spendy), could anyone help with sizing? I am a consistent US size 6, fairly broad shoulders, 35 inch bust. According to the size guide, size 6 is a small. True fit also says small. But I am worried that it will be, well, small. I don't plan to layer anything bulky underneath and the length (I have a long torso) seems plenty long enough. So I am inclined to do as suggested and go for a small. But maybe I should go for a medium just in case it's snug? Any thoughts?

Any chance you can buy both and return one?

Thanks Traci but not really. It would add to delivery and return costs (it's not free here!), plus 2 jackets would be a really big spend! I think my DH would faint when he saw the credit card bill. He might never recover

Oh, Brooklyn, it has your name all over it.

I wish I could help but I have not seen it. Maybe email customer service and see if you can get exact item measurements? Sometimes that is possible.

Hoping someone who has seen it jumps in. I don't know how SE clothing fits.

I do know that I bought a MEDIUM from Massimo Dutti vs. my usual Zara small (same parent company) and so, well, you never know. I could have worn the small but everyone agreed the medium looked a bit better on me.

Get a Small.

My size 8 client was in a Medium. The colour is going to be heavenly on you, Brooklyn.

Thanks Angie. That's great advice because you've seen it. Of course the colour is the big attraction. The chances of me ever getting a green leather jacket here are exactly nil.
Thanks Suz. I think Zara sizing is all over the shop so I am not surprised about the MD jacket. I can be an S, M or L in Zara sizing. European sizing is generally smaller I think. Hopefully because this is an American brand that won't be the case.
