Thanks UmpJM

I will definitely call them and find out what the actually size is. I don't know how I didn't see it on their site earlier this week. Their "small" size is only 1 inch smaller than the coat I ordered. Too bad they don't sell them in kids sizes Just kidding

M 40-42
L 44-46
XL 48-50
XXL 52-54
XXXL 56-58
XXXXL 60-62 That's a whole lot of X's....

Gerry Davis has jackets in Small:

http://www.gerrydavis.com/Merchant2/...egory_Code=JCK

His small is listed as 34" - 36" and medium 38" - 40".

You could always "remedy" this problem with a steady MickeyD's Big Mac diet.

Holy rusted metal bat boy! What the heck was I looking at on Gerry Davis?! I know I looked there. I guess maybe the fans are right, I'm not only short, skinny, and now I'm blind too. lol I feel so foolish now

Believe me Welpe, if I could gain a little weight I would go for it. Then again it doesn't help that I got into running this past fall with a buddy. We just ran a marathon last weekend in Nashville. What an experience! But I couldn't gain weight before I was running marathons either *muttering* stupid metabolism!

I might be too embarrassed to ever complain again about anything. Thanks

My son is a 20 year old, bean pole (didn't take after me there!). His Gerry Davis jacket fits nicely with or without a chest protector. I did, however, order him a medium and he likes the room when he is on the bases.

Good Luck

Josh,

If you can't fill up a jacket, you should get a long-sleeved umpire shirt and just wear some under-armour cold gear underneath. I do this a bunch when I work the plate and it feels great (although I own a 3X jacket because I like the room. My shirts fit perfect at 2x).

I gotcha. The problem is that is the same sizing chart used for their basketball jackets as well (or so I'm assuming). Umpiring jackets always leave extra room for the pesky chest protector. So hopefully they'll be able to tell me if it's really 36-38. The jacket I bought before said it was a 37-39 (or maybe it was 38-40). But it was ridiculously big. Which is ironic because I buy my umpiring shirts from that same company and the mediums work great under a chest protector, but I buy a small for the bases. *shrug* I appreciate all the help. It's just a pain and waste of money to send stuff back. I'm sure you all understand.
