To be honest, the sleeve length doesn't really bother me. I'd rather not alter the jacket. Truly, my only "complaint' is its mobility. I always planned on wearing this jacket while flying and, with arms extended, the sleeves cover my arms perfectly. Any shorter and I would complain that the...

So, I received my BK in the mail. The build quality is great and I'm really impressed with the russet coloring. With my short high/arms I did not run into the issue of short sleeves. If anything they're too long; however, I am aware that they'll "shrink" with stacking. Currently, my only issue...

Thanks for the advice, everyone! Great looking jacket, again. I'm glad the shipping to Japan wasn't an issue. I live in Korea, so greetings from across the Sea of Japan.

Your jacket looks amazing; great fit too! I did end up ordering this contract back in December. Andy never responded to my inquiries on when it would be shipped.

Here's an update on Andy's size recommendation: Based off my chest measurement of 107cm, he suggested a 42 or a 44 for a relaxed fit. After sending him my full measurements (107cm chest, 128cm shoulder, 91cm waist, and a hight of 167cm) he suggested a 44. I'll send pictures of the fit when I...

If you don't mind my asking, what is your chest measurement/height Mulceber?

I plan on going with the "display" configuration and I really like the look of the jacket with the russet leather. That's a really handsome jacket!

I appreciate the quick responses, gentlemen! It's really hard to gather data on the "real life" fit of Bill Kelso's jackets, even with some lurking on this forum. Right now, I wear a Korean-made G1 and I would rather have more of a "heirloom" quality jacket. Brettafett, the photo you posted...

Thanks for your response! I'd prefer to have a more relaxed fit as I actually intend to fly with the jacket. I sent a message off on BK's website. I assume, if I go above a 42, that I'll have to go with a short cut as well.

I'm looking to make my first decent A2 reproduction purchase. I have questions about the current state of their sizing. I have around a 42.5 inch chest and I'm roughly 5'6''. Would I be better off with a 42 or 44? I appreciate any feedback, cheers!
