Thanks MikeyB-17! Damn... size SMALL... I would definitely jump on a size M or L...

I did actually write/email Charles at HPA w/ the same question but never heard back. He has been really good in the past about answering (even somewhat inane) questions - but no reply this time. Maybe I used an old email address by accident... The HPA site with its precise measurements for each...

Thanks everybody for the above answers - much appreciated! So, the consensus is that an L size M-65 should go w/ an L size liner. Makes perfect sense and seems the way that this 'layering system' would have been conceived in the first place. Thanks for confirming. The measurements on the Buzz...

I'm considering getting myself a new M-65 jacket (repro). I currently own an Mash Co. M-65 - which is fantastic but slightly tight on me. I originally went w/ size S because I like a trim fit (and the Mash Co. M-65s run quite big/or M-65s in general) and I wasn't planning to ever wear the jacket...

I've used the RIT color remover before... hand't thought about using it to 'age' a jacket... that's actually a really good idea. Hadn't thought about the fact that one uses salt to set the color on a garment after dyeing in. I'm really tempted to try the color remover... maybe I'll do a test on...

Hey, Steve - good advice. It's been so cold in Chicago the past few months, I've not had a chance to even consider wearing the 37J1B... once Spring is here, I'll just wear it hard... which in my case means: on the train to work... not really THAT hard, I guess. BTW - I am currently owning your...

Just saw that my thread got bumped up this morning. In BR sizing, I'm somewhere between a size 40 and 42. I have the BR/Mister Freedom Pensacola jacket in size 40 - which fits me trim - I probably would do better (in that particular jacket) with the size 42 - one wash. I used to own a BR N-1 in...

I found below photographs on a japanese blog. This is pretty much the amount of 'weathering/aging' I am looking for. Liking the way the collar is shaped after washing. ADDENDUM: I just ran the japanese blog through translation and it says that the jacket in the photos has two years...

I just took delivery on my new Real McCoys 37J1B Zielinski jacket (from Japan). I ordered the jacket in size 44 - as size 42 was already sold out at Vintage Paradise. And while the jacket fits pretty good (size 42 probably would have been too snug), I wish, it were just a bit smaller (size 43...

Hey, that's my jacket... BK just sent me the tracking info - which hopefully means that this jacket will be in my hands shortly. I will try to post a full review once I have a chance to take some photographs, etc. I'm not really sure, if this particular jacket really is of interest to the...

Looks exactly like my NOS Crown Zip that I bought from Mash Co. in Japan a few years ago. I paid something like $80 for it back then. Should have bought a couple more, when they still had these in stock...

Hickoree's just added a civilian A-1/moto-jacket to their site. Made for them exclusively by THE FEW in NZ. http://www.hickorees.com/brand/hickoree ... de-leather I'm not a fan of the two-tone leather - but - overall, this seems to be an interesting take on the A-1 jacket. Some of the details...

I just received my Mister Freedom 'Pensacola' jacket the other day. I went with a size 40 raw - which fits pretty trim/tight. I should have gone w/ a 42 one-wash/rinse instead. I own the Mister Freedom Mulholland jacket in a size 40 one-wash and that one fits perfectly - which is the reason...
