All of these measurements almost always cause more confusion than they are helpful. I believe that they are made with a little more room for movement. If you are a size 46 chest with no gut, this will fit perfectly. I myself am a 46 with a athletic build and this fits perfectly. The only issue...
Update...
I finally had a chance to sit down and give this jacket some attention. As I mentioned before, I tried several things, including constantly airing it out. None of those methods really helped. They toned down the smell slightly to where it didn't smack you in the face, but the smell...
There is definitely a ‘bomber’ revival in the US. In Chicago, everyone and their mother has a MA-1 knock off with a fur lined hoodie. That’s the big thing now. Military type jackets with today’s fashion touches.

I actually bought it from the original...
Lol! I was just about to ask this question! I've been airing it out for several days now. I've tried massaging the sheepskin to release the vapors and I very lightly steamed the whole jacket inside and out. The odor is still overwhelming. I have to keep it outside when we are home and I...
