Belstaff sizing

Hi - a slight tangential Bond question but I am looking at either a Belstaff K Racer (DC) or Belstaff H Racer ( whispers - Bourne Legacy)
Has anybody got either and how does the sizing fit as I am getting mixed messages about them being very slim/small fitting?
Thanks

However..... there are diff versions of the H Racer pre and post versions either side of the company changing ownership. I had the current issue in a 52 and the older version in a 54. To confuse the issue I also believe there was a winter and summer version of this jacket also!
K Racer (DC) I went with my normal size 54 and its pretty fitted
Belstaff sizing I'm afraid is all over the place. I have had in my possession other jackets by Belstaff from 52 to 56.
Im afraid its kind of trial and error, best bet is to try on in person or get a seller to measure for you
The DC Belstaff Patterson I believe is crazy small sizing
Having owned ALL versions of the H Racer cardigan I can tell you that this is a model you have to size UP. I currently own the summer versions of the Malenotti era H racer in size Large, and I will not be able to zip up the jacket comfortably with a medium. Perhaps if you are of a slim built with not much bulk you can get away with it.
I tried on the K racer in store. Definite had to size up to a large also.
Hope this helps.
I'm a 41 chest and need a large in either of these jackets or a size 50
When I tried the H Racer in store the 50 felt OK but the assistant suggested the 48 was the better fit.
So If you're a stock 38" chest buy a 48 to wear it as intended.
