Cut to the Sherman Napoli block, a soft-shoulder Neapolitan silhouette with a trim waist and a shorter length than the Ratner sport coat. Sizing runs to the standard European scale converted to R codes below. If you are between sizes, the closer fit rewards sizing down through the chest for a cleaner drape; size up only if you plan to layer knitwear underneath.

Overarm add: Mr Derk's fitting standard is a seven inch overarm add on jackets. A 40 chest with a 47 overarm sizes to a Regular 40.
