Chanel Classic Flap - Small vs Medium vs Large sizes

This is my first (and maybe the only flap) chanel so I really need the opinion of all the experts here.
I'm considering between a black classic caviar but I'm not sure if I should get it in jumbo or medium.

I tried it at store and I really like the jumbo as the size is just perfect for me but it looks too big on my butt when I tried it crossbody and the chain is too long.

While I don't really like the medium when carry at shoulder but it looks perfect for crossbody. I'm only 160cm. And I find it abit too small.

Another question is I'm also thinking of reissue 227 but the one I tried is distress leather and I don't really like it. Is it available in other types of leather as I think the SA at knightbridge London is abit arrogant and didn't want to entertain me much.

Please help and give your honest opinions ladies. Thanks :)
 
i'm not sure if you are aware you can shorten the chain of the jumbo?

My height is 154cm, 5'1"

Me with white jumbo (i shorten the strap with the clasp i bought in chanel store)

It looks nice! Is it single or double flaps? The sa told me not to shorten it as it will cause damage to the sides of the flap
 
it is single flap, all jumbos are single flaps.

It does cause somewhat darkens on the holes area where the chains are but i'm fine with it :) It really depends on yourself, some people using ribbon or velco strap to shorten the chain :)
 
Showing my pics with jumbo black and medium beige... Im also 160 cm and i think both are perfect for our height... But i would suggest you go for jumbo as it can be every bag for workday and weekend... Medium might go for your next chanel :)
