From most reviews I am seeing, the jackets run pretty true to size with them running a tiny bit big in some instances. I would probably get an XL if you ever wear sweaters or a thicker top. But if you just plan on wearing a t-shirt, the large should be fine, unless you prefer it to be a little looser. I prefer to run my jackets a tiny bit bigger because I tend to layer whenever needed.
If you are going to wear heavier layers under the Rothco Special Ops Soft Shell Jacket I recommend getting a large. If you plan on just wearing a t-shirt underneath I recommend getting a medium.
