I have WOC, Camera case Large 10", M/L , Reissue 226 , Jumbo (caviar and lamb) and Cert tote. In hurry situation, I always carry my reissue 226 (no issue with weight) and Jumbo more they're so roomy, I just tossed in my CC YEN wallet, sunglasses , make up case , car key , iphone 6+, gloves (winter) and snack, still have room but I didn't add in more due to its weight. When I have time to pick what I need to carry I use my M/L or fancy night out. And I only 5'1" slender. When I had my Jumbo (caviar heavier than lamb) at 1st 2 weeks due to its weight I regretted but after that I like it.

Great picture! Love your hair and your coat and your bag of course!

I vote for m/l because jumbo is really heavy! And I'm 5'4"so the jumbo chain is too long for cross body. Mine is caviar so it's very rigid and boxy (hardly used because of the weight)...the reissue 226 is the perfect size (between m/l and jumbo, but chain a lot shorter than jumbo). It's true m/l doesn't hold much, but if you use a card case instead of wallet then you'll be OK.

Here's a couple of pics of the M/L vs the Jumbo

Top picture is the M/L. It looks good on me but it is really too small to do anything with except for evening wear. Notice that it doesn't look right with my casual clothes

The Jumbo looks great on me and is functional. I can use it in a variety of outfits.

I'm the same height and went with the Jumbo Caviar Double Flap. I had a problem with it being too long also, but I tie the chain just under the flap to shorten the chain.

I think the M/L looks great on you! I don't think it at all looks awkward with your casual clothes.

Hi All! Since this topic is on Classic Flap medium or jumbo i thought would it be possible for me to tag my question here instead of opening up a new thread. Single or double flap? I'm thinking of getting a pre-owned from Fashionphile as the pricing seesm reasonable but its in single flap. Any insights? I heard double flap holds the bag shape well?

I have both medium and jumbo..I'm 164cm and jumbo looks very big on me and at the end I sold the jumbo and kept the medium. Jumbo also hurts shoulder if you carry too much stuff as it doesn't have that leather patch on the shoulder.. :)

Depends what you want to use the bag for. I have both but the m/l is my favourite! I carry more daily than what a jumbo fits and it's a little big for evening use so my jumbo doesn't get used much at all.

The m/l on the other hand is the perfect evening bag.
