armoury model 15 sizing help
im looking at the armoury model 15 and will not have the chance to try it on in person
im struggling with the shoulder measurements. it looks like these are cut intentionally broad but im looking to see if anyone has experience with these to know how they may fit - these seem a whole 2" more broad than my typical sizing. does that seem right for the cut of the jacket? how does it compare to other jackets you may own?
for reference im typically a 40R in virtually all brands so was looking at the 50. if i was going purely by measurements id probably get the 48 - the chest also looks like it has some extra room which is nice

The Armoury’s Model 15 is a tribute to the city of Florence; featuring a soft,
unpadded shoulder, with enough canvas and structure to give it added extension.

It would probably be best if you also knew your body measurements for chest / shoulders/ sleeve, or could at least provide those for your 40R jackets you have already.
That said - I’m usually a 40L or a 42 in SuSu and I’d likely look at a 48 as well
yeah i have measurements for body and jackets that fit me well - can share in a bit
everything is within the right range for both 48 and 50 except for the shoulder piece, so that's my big concern - it's unstructured and clearly extended by design but was just looking for anecdotes from ppl who have tried the jacket on or own it
i have broad shoulders and even the 48 is wider in the shoulder than is typical
so maybe a hair over 18" shoulder is good for me, and 21-22" chest on fitted jackets works for me with no pulling, but i dont mind going more spacious
You could reach out to the armoury as well. Their service is great and they might be able to help guide you! I have a model 3 in the eu44 which, like the 15, has extended shoulders. The shoulders are 17.7in across in the 44. I have other jackets with a more natural fit that are 15.5 -16in". Basically I'm guessing you should probably trust the chest size otherwise the silhouette might not be as intended
this is exactly what i was looking to hear/learn
thanks for sharing
good call on cust service too i will reach out to them
they insisted i go tts so im going for it
just documenting in case anyone else searches this
the 50 is tts and fits perfectly. shoulders are wide but in a really flattering way. if anything i may have been able to even get away with going up a size to 52
