De Soto sizing chart online was useful and I think I fall in a size Large for the 2008 Forza Tri Jersey. Chest size is about 43, height 6’3, weight 205. De Soto listed my chest size as Large with a large range of 42-45. Wondering if anyone has worn last year’s Forza model in my size range and prefers the size medium (chest range 39-42) for a tighter fit based on the cut of the jersey.
Ah the joys of buying tri clothing online…I have always worn Orca, but thought I would give De Soto a try.
Not exactly what you are asking bout - but close.
I bought an XL Desoto Tri/Sleeveless jersey last year. It may have been a 2006 model. Nice jersey that ultimately does not fit me well.
I am 6’2 1/2 and was about 205lbs last summer - I wear a 44 to 46 suitcoat.
The XL jersey did not work very well for me on the bike while aero even though it seemed fine at the store. It ended up being tight across my back and loose across my chest and waist while riding aero - it also rode up my lower back while riding.
My next purchase will be a skinsuit that is stretchier.
I posted a picture while wearing it a while back:

Not an exact answer to what you’re looking for, but, of my DS stuff, one jersey is a med, the rest are larges. I’m 6’3 / 160lbs.
