but since you mention it, yeah, I've always been slim. Just genetic. I gotta be serious about lifting and high protien foods to add (and keep) any muscle at all.
Oh, yeah, that 152lbs would be with boots, clothes, and 8lbs of hair.

Bump to close out my story. My medium arrived and fits me fine. Sleeves are long enough and even with a less than optimum belly (need less cookies, more jogging) the jacket fits great.
However, my 10-year-old was disappointed.
I agree about the cheap zipper.... and it's backwards. At first I couldn't zip it, then with a little thought I over-rode the automatic hand motions I use on every other zipper I've ever found on male clothing. Now I'll probably need to concentrate to zip my other coats, but for now I just enjoy the RX-8 jacket.
It's also plenty warm. We've had a cold snap with some mornings at 0F to 5F. No complaints - even a bit of wind doesn't cut through the coat. Probably not a good thing for folks further south. How can you wear a coat that's really warm if your February temps are in the 80s?

bought one like two weeks ago, they're being shipped from singapore or something. It should be here in a couple days. The bad thing is that its now too damn hot here in Texas to wear the damn thing.

My Brotheg gave me the Shirt as a b-day present. I love it. In PR it is too hot to wear the jacket. so far have worn it to 2 meets, 1 track day and a couple of family outings. Great conversation starter. But some people tend to think you are absessed about your car getting out of it and still wearing the badges :-)

I picked up a friend for lunch wearing the coat. He about doubled over laughing and kinda rolled into the front seat. Almost couldn't buckle himself because he had his knees pulled up laughing. Finally he gasps, "You bought a coat that matches your car!!! Bwahahahahaaaa!!!" and laughed a bit more before calming down and wiping the tears of laughter out of his eyes.
Ah well, he didn't mean any harm - nice to be able to brighten his day.

I have a buddy that has a red/white mastercraft boat. a red/white mastercraft ski jacket and a red/white mastercraft towel. We came by several copies of an early Luke Duke from Dukes of Hazzard pin up. It's really gay looking. we put them on his windshield at the marina when ever we get the chance and there are a lot of people around. Lastime it sat there for a week.
