Wanted to get some fit opinions, posting this in a couple different places. This is the burgundy velvet dinner jacket I picked up from J Crew recently during the sale. I'm typically a 38R in most brands, but ordered a 39R and 40R in this, since it's their Ludlow fit.

39R:

Clothing Trousers Suit trousers Outerwear Dress shirt

40R:

39R fits a bit better in the chest (slimmer), but I guess I want extra sets of eyes on it to make sure it fits okay everywhere else

Worth noting- I actually have last year's navy in size 40R (it was the only size available), and that has worked fine. Since I had the option this year to try a 39R, I went ahead and decided to try both. Both technically fit, I'm just looking for the better fit between the two.

There was a time in my life during which I would have suggested that the 39R was the way to go, but as the years have rolled on my appreciation for wearing comfort has convinced me that the 40R is the way Ito go in this present instance! Good luck in your quest.
