I returned and bought a size up. I'm 5'9" and 190, average build. I'd like to be able to wear a fleece or at least another layer underneath, and although the more fitted cut is nice, I returned the medium and went with a large. This coat fits a little bit more snug then the other Carhartt coats I've worn over the years. Very comfortable, and happy with the large. Still a tailored cut, but just the right amount of room where I needed it.
