There is a BB store in San Antonio and I have been a customer since they opened about 10 years ago. I already know a Madison 44R should have been a perfect fit, not requiring a single alteration, even sleeve length.
My little store had only one suit and a couple of sport coats in Madison so I have to order online and take advantage of the sale prices. Of the three Madison jackets I ordered one jacket was too tight to button, the other was very loose (more like a 46), the the sport coat pictured had the Herman Munster sleeves. They all arrived at on different days from different stores. I returned them all to my local store for full credit.
That's why I gave up on Brooks Brothers. In my OP, yes I was frustrated. Same Madison jacket, same size, they all fit differently. Crazy stuff because I made sure they were all USA made ( still Southwick?).
