Brands cut for large chest / small gut (athletic cut tops)?

Marcus, 40” shoulders and 33” waist should be a perfect proportions for a western medium fit in most sizings.

Im an extreme athletic build, 42” shoulder circumference, 27” waist circumference. Ive just accepted im an extreme statistical anomaly and nothing is designed to fit me. Same problem with some hip belts on backpacks. American sizing is cursed for me, so no Patagonia. Arcteryx is better, but still not there. Some brands with asian sizing are better, but can slightly different proportions.

Arcteryx used to do athletic cuts, and very well. Over the past five years or so they’ve gone with the tight-chested Eurostyle, and their jackets are now what tailors would call slim. So unless you’re an ectomorph…

you might try Montbell and Marmot.

Marcus, my measurements are very similar to yours. I’ve been pleased with the fit of the OR Echo line for a top/baselayer. Works well across the upper body, not trim through the midsection but not baggy either. For a down puffy stay away from the Mtn Hardwear Ghost Whisperer, not enough chest and cut too high in the armpits for me.

Just accept the fact that you will have to get items tailored.  I have been doing so for years and it’s not too bad once you find a reasonably priced person.

I am a 33” waist and 44” chest.  Have had good luck with Patagonia base layers.  The wool blend ones they used to make (size large) were a great fit, though I’m not sure they make these any longer.  Size large in Patagonia’s other shirts can be a bit baggy in the waist but nice elsewhere, which makes for a simple alteration.
