If it’s made from the same material as their b-10 you can shrink it a lot.

If you wash in cold water and air dry, you're probably safe to go one size down from your chest size for a more trim fit.

Definitely. I tried with tumble dry (no heat) on my b-10. Didn’t really do anything. So I did it again on low heat and easily took an inch plus off the sleeve length.

It seems like you can easily shrink most of their clothing one size just by washing in warm (not hot) water and drying on medium heat.

And sometimes that can be a good thing.

Haven’t been here for a day or so, just catching up!
That is an awesome jacket Grant, probably very useful for a climate like we have in south UK, could probably get some good use out of one
Rob, that be jacket is stunning, really good loose fit on you..the later images, the collar looks slightly lighter if is that the camera, if it is lighter the variation in colour is so cool
Burt, cracking jacket sir!

As United Sheeplined has come up I'm attaching an old photo (I've got a stinking cold so staying in the warm) of my 18777-P. It is unlabelled but identified as such by the knowledgeable folks here and included in the Sheeplined writeup a while back ,the sizing details showed it to be at least a 44 probably 46, I normally take a 44 for comfort and this certainly is. Anyway thinking of thinning out my small collection left so if anyone is interested get in touch and I'll supply full details.

coincidentally it was also M-421a day for me for the morning walk with the doggo ladies...
in my case a 5* which I purchased from Thomas some time ago.
great jacket even if the 46 is a bit on the large size for me.

I have been wearing my Headwind Bronco A-2 a lot these days. The more I wear it, the better it looks! The grain is really coming along very nicely. I changed out my puller to a better quality Repro puller with the correct satin finish nickel color. These zipper tapes accept other #5 repro pullers and should also fit original pullers, but I have not tried those yet.
Next time I will post actual wearing pics. I don't have anyone to snap a photo at the moment.

Absolutely bloody freezing today for this time of year. -7 Celsius (that's 19 I think for you turkey munchers 
) so had to bring the ELC Irvin out again.
Does this every damn March here in the Arctic, we get a few days around +5 to +8 (41 to 46 Fahrenheit) and you think, ooh goodie spring is here and then it drops like a stone again and you freeze your nuts off again. At least it was sunny.
I'll endeavour to take a snap of the old Irvin tomorrow, no chance today as I had an exam and was preoccupied with that.

I think I need my head checked for listing this Steve Sellers W&G M-422A for sale. Sleeves are just a tad bit short and it was a bit like wearing a suit of armor, but a little time spent with a baseball glove mallet and some rigorous (sort-of) calisthenics have started to make this thick goat a lot more tame. Dare I even say comfortable...

Man you need your head read!
What a fit, doesn't get much better than that! I don't reckon those sleeves look short at all. They're right in what you see in period photos.
Don't sell that, sell some of those mitts instead

Yes … that’s the right choice . It looks good on you .. and I don’t see the sleeves as being short at all .
