Saga size dilemma

Maybe some of you can help me out. I am 5'6/5'7 and I have been wearing a medium saga anomie pb&j. I really like the length however I have pretty broad shoulders and a somewhat thick build so it is a little tight around the shoulders/back. I'm not sure if the large would be huge on me so I'm kinda torn on what to do. I like the look of the anomie but if there are other jackets that might fit better I'm open to suggestions. +k for helping

Large anomie would go past your knees. I'm 5'9 and it was almost there on me. You could try the monarch, which in large is only 33.5 inches. It is a little slimmer so it wouldn't be too baggy but would accommodate your shoulders. The fatigue would be the same just a little tighter

I would suggest the large Anomie. If you have broad shoulders it won't fall so low on you like some other kids your age. The Fatigue and Monarch would be a little shorter but they are also narrower which could cause some problems for you comfort and fit wise.

Also between the PB&J year and this coming season the anomie has been adjusted. Take a tape measure and check the specs on your jacket then compare them to 13/14 Anomie line.

I myself am 5'10" 175lbs with a broad upper body and shoulders. The 13/14 large anomie fits me perfectly. I like it to come down a couple inches above the middle of my thigh. Judging from what you've said about yourself I imagine the 13/14 Anomie jacket would come down to about mid thigh or just a bit lower.
