I am buying for someone with a large chest and big belly- pant size 44. Can you advise on sizing? Thanks.

I have a fairly large chest, pant size 36. I buy large and it's pretty snug but that's how I want this kind of shirt to be. Going off of the pants size I'd assume he's a little bigger than I am so I wouldn't go any less than XL. (If he wants it snug) I'd also suggest maybe going to a sporting goods store and trying them on then buying from Amazon.

I have a 44 inch waist and ordered a XL and it's a little snug. It's loosened up a bit from washing. If I had it to do over I probably would've gone with the XXL.

I would get a size A5, although the pants may be too long but the top will fit fine. I take it the 56" chest measurement is all the way around your body under your arms? Some companies offer sizes for stocky people, the size has an H included, for example: A2H or A3H. Check it out.

I'm 6'0" 180 lbs. I bought Large. It fit very well in length. The waist is generous. I have a 40" chest and a 34" waist. There is plenty of room in the waist and chest for me to fit comfortably. If your waist is 38" or bigger, I might go with an XL. (Although the length will be significant)

I am currently a 34, I have both medium and large. The medium are just a bit snug for me. So I would recomend the medium.

I wear a mens xxl and it pretty much fits true to size. I am a 52 in jackets... So figure a mens xxl would be spot on for a larger, 200plus lb. man. A larger female could probably fit a large or xl.

When I look at the most recent reviews they seem to say they fit true to size. If you go further back you will find most people recommend 2 sizes larger so a 36 would work for you. Sizing may have changed for these pants with so many complaints . Good luck

I am about a 34-35" waist and a large was huge. Wish I would have gotten a medium. Hopefully that helps you..

I brought a XXL. I have a 52 in chest and a 38 in waist and it fits great. The jacket also adjusts for the waist and it turns in to a vest for the really hot days.

I am a 43-44 chest, and the large was just a little snug with a regular shirt on underneath, so I went to the extra large, since I wanted to be able to wear a fleece with the jacket sometimes.

x-large should be ok. take 44 (i think) and it fits fine with a little room to spare...

I have a 36" waist and bought the XL. If anything it's a HAIR too big, so I suspect the XL would be a perfect fit for your man.

I bought a pair a medium for my 42 inch waist hubby and they fit snugly but not too snugly. so I would guess a medium for you? hope this helps.

Hi. I'm 5 ft 11 inches @ 165lbs. I purchased the large and it is definitely a bit snug, especially in the shoulders and chest. I would recommend purchasing a size larger than what you normally wear from Columbia or other manufacturers.

I'm a 38 chest and wear the medium over a jacket. You should probably go for a large.

I wear size 6 (36" chest) and got size S - like the fit very much. Not overstretch and not too loose/roomy.
