I'm not sure. The listing has p2p as 25in so I'd imagine so. Gizemo have a size chart on their site. They even make a 46.

Not mine but I've gotta say it looks pretty dang good compared to others being offered. Real alpaca too. Now if only it were a 46 https://www.ebay.com/itm/145704196977?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=vX6vbG1oSD-&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=Jp04KuHQSt6&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Never really thought about moving my collecting into post WW2 and nylon but I knew I couldn't pass this one up. I wasn't even looking for it but of all places it showed up on Facebook marketplace under the obscure title of "Cold weather gear" and for $90 it was a no brainer. Made the...

Definitely from the same Aero W535ac-19436 contract! Only real difference is yours is in a larger size and mine has redskin for the back panels.

With that much wear and patina I'm almost surprised it's not falling apart! I'll agree the sprayed sheepskin isn't that flaky as others and mine is still very much soft. I'm wondering if it's something Aero did or whatever factory Aero received its sheepskin from.

Collar depth chest depth The zipper has been replaced with a Frankenstein zip. It has an Ideal zip bottom stop and a post war talon zip slide. Good thing is that they left the original zip tape behind it which I think was done for added strength when the new zip was installed. Anyway, enjoy...

It has what looks like a name written on one of the collar straps and pin marks on the shoulder tabs where maybe rank was once pinned? I also measured the sheepskin depth and found the body and collar to be 3/4in, while the hem is 1/2in, and the windflap and cuff is of course 1/4in sheepskin.

With the recent thread comparing the duel tone B-3s from GW and ELC, I figured I'd show my Original Aero two tone. Based on info found here on the forum from the Full Gear book, it was produced by Aero under the W535ac-19436 contract from 1941. I'd say that it's majority red skin minus the front...

I've been on the lookout for an original B-9 or B-11 parka in a larger size (and within my budget) for a while. B-11s are fairly common even in larger sizes and B-9s when you do find them are generally smaller sizes, cuffs holey and torn, mouton stiff or needs replacing, and the quilted lining...

This one is currently on eBay and a size 44. They come up some but I tend to see B-11s more often. https://www.ebay.com/itm/304556460239?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=DBvUpWDrQhu&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=Jp04KuHQSt6&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Looks like there's an original for sale on ebay at the moment. https://www.ebay.com/itm/WWII-US-Army-Air-Force-D-1-Mechanics-Jacket-by-Rough-Wear-Size-M-WW2-Flight-/154860664121?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0

Anyone with a size 44 stagg care to share some measurements? I'm a 46 chest and am wondering if a used stagg in a 44 will fit. I have an ELC roughwear in a 44 that's just a bit snug and it looks like most rmc B-10s have wider shoulders and I wonder if that will make any difference in fit. Any...

I can't wait to see her when she's fully assembled and on display. Always been a fan of the B-26 and its a shame more aren't around. Flak bait is a museum in itself!
