I'm hoping to buy the N7 Tech Jacket, but I'm probably best in a small or MAYBE a medium (male, 40" chest, and a 32 1/2" sleeve would fit better than the small, even).
The only size left in stock here is XXL, and on ThinkGeek they have medium and up.
Is there a likelihood of a restock at some point, or should I bite the bullet and buy the medium over on ThinkGeek? (and is that one official? The chest pocket zipper is red and the hood drawstring clips are clear, different from the one pictured on the EA Store page).
Thanks,
~Nathan

I'm gonna jump in here, maybe this will help...
I've just bought the N7 performance hoody (the one with the zip-off hood). Sizing is pretty generous - I also got a medium Tee which is a perfect fit, but the jacket in medium is kinda too big. I think I'm going to return it, because with the hood off the collar size is huge, it doesn't come close to my neck!
On topic: I had a look at ThinkGeek - the (out of stock) Elite Armor hoody is described as 'Officially-licensed', so I'd guess that the tech jacket is too.

Thanks, LePetitRobo. I appreciate the answer, though I actually dived in and bought it from ThinkGeek already. It arrived yesterday, and I have to say...I'm impressed and slightly surprised.
Bioware Customer Service indicated in response to a query that there are no restocks of the jacket planned here, and similarly, ThinkGeek customer service said they aren't restocking, either, AND they said that their 'tech hoodie' was 'their version' rather than official merchandise.
Since it looked like it was the medium ThinkGeek version or nothing, I bought it anyway.
As it turns out, it IS officially licensed; the jacket I received appears identical to the Bioware store version pictures in every way, says Bioware on the tag, and---more surprisingly yet--fits almost perfectly. The chest is EXACTLY my size for a running/light jacket, and while the sleeves are long, there's really no avoiding that. Besides, they can be easily rolled up and pinned or even sewn.
So...it seems ThinkGeek customer service reps were wrong about the licensing, but they were wrong in my favor, AND the size fits me better than expected. So I'm very happy I took the plunge before they ran out!
