Yes, it fits fine. I wouldn't be able to get battledress under it though as they did. It fits with a regular shirt under it. I don't think I would move up to a bigger size though, as the sleeves would probably be too long. I'll work on getting a fit pic.Does it fit?

After restoration the cost is about what an Aero repro costs, but a fair amount less than an Eastman. Less than half the cost though of Eastman's Devon fleece copy which is their most expensive. There's nothing like the real thing though. These jackets have a limited use whether original or repro as some here have said. I've been on a few walks around the neighborhood with it, but I can't really see wearing it out about town. It's something I've wanted since I was a kid though as they are probably the most iconic flight jacket, particularly if you live in a Commonwealth country.Some replica cost more in the same condition.
