Depends on where you're gonna get the jacket from. I'm 5'10" and 170, and I gave Wested my measurements so the jacket was supposedly custom-made, but the tag inside says "40". So I got a feelin' my Wested's just an off-the-rack 40, which fits ME like a glove anyway. The fit is perfect as per the way Indy's fits him. I've also got a late-90s Cooper that says "Large". This fits just a tad looser and the sleeves are about an inch or two longer than the Wested, but I think a medium might be too snug.
As far as Flight Suits goes, I myself would lean toward a 40. But that'd be after all the final modifications are made to its design.
