IHM-43-NAV - Nylon Type L-2B Flight Jacket - Navy Blue

Yep. Just grabbed one from one of the stockists. whew!

[Neru-6]

Whoa, one of the only pieces I wanted to get and XL is already sold out. I'm very sad.

[EdH]

@jevans41 Sorry, just seen your Q.

It's hard to say as different fabrics have different thicknesses, etc. In a UHF flannel I usually go for ~23 inches in the P2P measurement. I can go a bit thinner in something that will stretch, like a T-shirt, and usually size down to an L in those for a fitted look.

For reference, I just measured myself at 42inches around my chest (taken at nipple height) but was a bit tricky to measure myself.

@Neru-6 Checked the other stockists? See the first post.

@EdH looks awesome on you!!! @Matt I refused to try it on as I knew the answer to your dilemma. I don’t know if I made the right decision.

[EdH]

@goosehd

[Tago Mago]

@Matt you know you want it

[goosehd]

@EdH …I know and I hang my head in guilt ridden shame. However, I will sleep well knowing that someone got the opportunity that I passed up.

Whom ever that is, please enjoy and make fun of me on occasion…nothing like a little salt in the wound to make me refocus

[Tago Mago]

@goosehd do you and @Matt take the same size? Asking for a friend

[Neru-6]

@EdH not many stockists in EU, and some did not have an online shop...

[goosehd]

@Tago-Mago I’m an XL in most IH westerns…I think @Matt is M or L.

Jacket wise on this one I don’t know as knowing would have been that guaranteed bank withdrawal.

[Tago Mago]

@goosehd it was worth a shot

[Rococo]

@EdH Cheers, mate!

[Azriel]

Too hard to resist this one, not the greatest timing according to my bank account. Glad I did since my size sold out. Can't wait!

[Matt]

The M was tight in the armpits and the biceps. The L is what I’d go for especially considering the overall length and wearing it over a flannel or hoodie.

[Tago Mago]

@Matt you wouldn’t want too much of your shirt or T peeking out below the jacket

[Notchas]

I'm pumped for this! Had to grab it. Hope it's not too short....

[Matt]

If you aren’t feeling the length then this jacket may not be for you. It’s short by design. If it were longer it wouldn’t be a flight jacket. I don’t mind shirts sticking out of the bottom.

That was my hesitation. It was XXXXL or nothing for me, and just had some reservations about the fit. Truly one of the best looking jackets I've seen in a while. Can't wait to see more photos! Congrats
