The UPS guy with my BBB from Denuo Novo arrived a little while ago. I'm initially extremely pleased with the uniform. Note, I don't have the wrinkles and stuff out of it yet, and I didn't do all the snaps and hooks for this quick snapshot.
My measurements were smack in the middle of the Denuo Novo chart for XL on both pants and tunic. I had considered going up a size on the tunic as I often have an issue with any coat or jacket that turns out to be unexpectedly undersized, but I am SO glad I didn't. Next size up would have been way too large; next size down wouldn't have been roomy enough. My main concerns were the chest fit and my wide shoulders. But as you can see from the photo the shoulders and chest are perfect. And it feels just right while wearing it, too, and I have the same amount of arm movement I'd expect in any suit coat. The sleeves might be just a hair long but, again, I don't have everything snapped and I only have a T shirt on underneath, so they may be hanging a little low. Still, the sleeves are about the same as the sport coat I wear most frequently. (Full disclosure: You need to put a gun to my head to get me to dress up, so I don't wear a sport coat often.)
I knew that Anovos tunics never had an inside breast pocket and was hoping that DN would add one, but they haven't. Oh well.
As to the pants, I might have been able to to step down one size, as these are loose around the waist. My wife can take those in for me with no issue. Again, DN has not added pockets in the pants, although I knew that Anovos didn't have pockets either. Really would have liked pockets. On a side note, I've lost 20 about pounds this year and I've been successful in keeping it off. I'd also like to lose another 10 pounds, so I may just spring for the next smaller size pants while they're readily available and from the same lot, just to have on hand.
The hat is a bit disappointing. It's the right size and fits fine, but it feels "odd" on my head as someone else had mentioned, and I don't like the way those bumps on the sides stick out so far. Those side bumps don't look too bad here because of the way my head is tilted, but they really do stick out. Those side bumps look exactly like in the photos on the DN website. After wearing the hat for a while, though, the general fit and those bumps may even themselves out. But I have to say, my black Wampa Wear hat for my Bridge Crew/TIE Reserve fits better, looks better, and feels better on my head.
I haven't yet gotten Sally's uniform out of the closet to do a side-by-side overlap comparison of the color, but the color of this uniform looks exactly right to me. Unless you're mixing Anovos/DN parts in the same uniform, I don't think there's enough difference, if any, to worry about.
So, to summarize this thread, the fit of the Denuo Novo officer uniforms is about as spot-on to their sizing charts as you could expect for mail-order clothing. The tunic is about perfect for me (YMMV), and the pants maybe a tad large, but I couldn't be more pleased.
I did indeed order my olive Line Officer tunic and hat on Monday, and did a pre-order on the pants. I did the two orders separately, as I did not want the not-yet-available pants to slow down the shipping of the in-stock tunic and hat. I needed have worried about that, because...
...both orders shipped today.
Very pleased to see the 48-hour turnaround on my order, and with the UPS shipping I should see them by the end of the week. Once they arrive, I'll let everyone know how they fit.

In my case, I just want my new Denuo Novo olive line officer to match my wife's olive Anovos line officer. As Kalani noted above with the "separation" involved with tunic and hat, I'm thinking that the separation between separate uniforms on my wife an me should be fine.
