I'm a weird size as it is. I have narrow shoulders, skinny arms & chest and a fat stomach. Essentially I need medium on the top half of the shirt and large at the bottom half. Athletic fit tends to be the opposite way round but we'll see I guess.
If I were to describe the newest of the tops, I'd say they are "chest tight", possibly to enhance the pecs/guns (not that I have either). and they are a little looser around the midriff... BUT, when I say looser, it's marginal and my small paunch is starting to show in themI'm a weird size as it is. I have narrow shoulders, skinny arms & chest and a fat stomach.

I've gone for it and ordered a medium. It's a fine line with golf jackets, I don't want it too baggy because the excess material gets in the way then, particularly with the sleeves and such. So as long as I can get the medium on and the material has plenty of stretch it should be fine.If I were to describe the newest of the tops, I'd say they are "chest tight", possibly to enhance the pecs/guns (not that I have either). and they are a little looser around the midriff...

I'm never sure what it means when it isn't a specific number either. 38 would be too small but 40 is ok. 40-42 would probably be ideal which is why I wasn't sure, since the L is 42-44. 44 would probably be too baggy.FootJoy HydroKnit 1/2 Zip Waterproof Golf Jacket NCharcoal/Bright Red/White - Clubhouse Golf

This is the most recent I bought and it's definitely a little tighter around the chest/shoulders. Not so tight that I can't get a polo/base layer underneath (a sweater underneath might be a bit warm!) and also not so tight that it interferes with my swing.
The sizing on the inner label for mine says M 38-40", not sure where GB have taken their size info from.

Oops. Oh well, Golfbidder didn't have the one I wanted in large anyway so if it's no good I'll have to buy from somewhere else.I looked at these a little while ago. The advice I was given at the time was to go half a size up. If you are a solid medium, maybe go up to large. If you are M/L then definitely go L etc. The posts here today seem to confirm this.
Do you think FJ have looked at many amateur golfers? Athletic fit? Comfort fit FJ, comfort fit
I'm not sure how my shoe size is meant to help me order a jacket?I've found (as I wear eccos most of the summer now) that for shoe sizes it's best to refer to the European number (45 for me) which in ECCO is a "uk 11" but most other shoe is a "uk 10"
So I've found taking a pair of shoes that fit me nicely and noting the European size then shop using that works best
On a side note don't mention your blooming feet! Have you learnt nothing
Can’t say I’ve noticed mine creasing.
