reminds me to wear my BR Tropical Combat Shirt again now that the temps are rising again ..

I am not sure if I am really willing to part with it that's why I didn't post pictures yet. the product code according the label in the left pocket is M13815/16. unfortunately the web does not yield much info about that product code or about BR L-2As with brown knits....

hey guys! maybe one of you knows how old this L-2A might be, in the sense of repro old :D I am asking because I might, or might not, be willing to sell my example; its a size 42 that fits me quite nice; its a bit short, but you knowledgeable bunch know that. and, to make it stand apart from its...

decided it's time to let the A-2 see some sun and breath some air again today... ELC RW27752 with BR 1941HBT trousers

thanks a lot! will see if I can grab some time and really head there... our auditee has already made some plans to entertain us after some hard days works there :D

Cool jacket! does this shop have military stuff as well? I will be in Naples for an audit in the first week of May so might head there too in my off time to find something nice :)

thanks a lot for the compliments guys :) @Thomas Koehle this is a BR L-2B made with a Tops Apparel label inside. I have no idea how legit this is but the jacket itself is very nice to wear. I have to admit I solely got it for the patches in the first place, as it is patched up to represent a...

silly me today... out of all jackets I own, I chose the not completely right one for the weather here :D Note to oneself...if the temps barely get above 10°C don't choose a Light Zone flight jacket when you have some rather warmer ones in your closet as well...

Star Sportswear G-1 from 1971 with a more recent BR watch cap for today's stroll to the city...

that sounds like the best and most logic explanation of those sizes :)

I get the same conversion result. actually it depends on the jacket which size I need. for comparison, my ELC RW27752 is a size 46 that fits perfectly as does the ELC G-1 in size 46. the BR 37J1 is a size 44 that feels a bit in the large side while my L-2s from BR are size 42 and Large, and...

oh boy.... after sweating it out in t-shirts at nearly 30°C last week, it's back into my Irvin (!!) again today as it is cold, windy and down to roughly 7°C again...luckily I hadn't packed the Irvin away and kept it available :D

I have never seen a larger MK3 on offer than a size 8. My guess is that due to fitness requirements for RAF aircrew, they don't need bigger sizes? Burt what you have posted regarding measurements is interesting! I can measure my MK3 ACC known principles and post the results. my size 7 fits...

I found one of these jackets by accident in a military surplus store in Vienna for a very handsome 100€ and I have not regretted buying it .. it's a nice, easy wearing, but really comfortable jacket that keeps you warm even in very windy and rather cold temperatures. for sizing, just refer to...

too hot here for a jacket, but following the recent trend towards USN jackets here, I chose a BR US Naval aviation themed t-shirt at least :D
