Does the size look ok?

Dear, all

I just got this 7823c g-1 jacket
But I think it’s little small, especially when i zipped it up

So I’m considering getting a bigger one

What do you think? Does it look ok?

nailed it - i'd keep the size

Looks like a perfect fit to me.
Remember that these jackets fit trimly , not like your commercially made jackets .

Agree with the above - keep this one.

I suppose the real question has to be does it feel comfortable?

You got a point. I feel little tightness when i zip it all the way up.
And I think it would be uncomfortable if I wear a sweater

Going against the grain here, but I think it's a bit too trim in the midsection. I prefer jackets that are relaxed enough in the midsection that they blouse a bit above the waist knit though. I'd go up one size, but try to stick with a similar shoulder measurement. Shoulder width is spot on. Sleeves look good too, but another 1/2" - 3/4" in sleeve length would still be perfectly fine.

If you're already sensitive to the tightness when zipped, that won't go away. In my experience, it just becomes more of a nuisance the longer you own the jacket. USN jackets that are tight in the abdomen and chest are even more uncomfortable to me, due to the size and stiffness of the windflap pressing against your body.

IMO, this is an ideal example of a perfect fitting USN jacket. Just a bit more room in the chest and abdominal areas.

If that’s the case you might want to try the next size up or another the same size that has a more generous cut.
