ELC Irvin 1940 sizing

[Dodgy]

Hi,

I have a friend coming back from Norway, via London and I can ship them an ELC Irvin to bring back to NZ. I have dismissed the 'The Few' option as it is almost three times the price of the ELC!!

I am a 44 in both the The Few B3 and RM A2 - Am I safe to assume that I will also be a 44 in the ELC Irvin?

cheers

Simon

I have a Few B-2 in a 44 and an ELC Irvin in a 44. They are both very similar in sizing.
Regardless of cost, the Eastman is the one to go for.

Simon, I wear size 42 in RM A-2's, and my BR B-3 is a 40 ..... I would say 42 for you, with the ELC Irvin.

You should go up a size on the ELC 1940 Irvin, that was Charles of HPA's advice to me, and he was right on the money - TOM .............This is based on an A-2 from ELC.

Oh, I am confused now... :?

I think that when I purchased the RMs that Paddy reckoned their sizing was to generally go up one size from your normal one. That worked for me as I am normally a 42...

John thinks that the sizings are similar, I think that deeb7 is suggesting that I go down a size to 42? And Bonniegirl4 says to go up a size?

eeekkkk! It is a bugger that I have only one chance with this

I was thinking a 42 and hoping that as the Irvin is meant to have a battle dress and jersey underneath, it is sized to accomodate a jersey and such like underneath rather than just a shirt?

 

[deeb7]

.... I think that deeb7 is suggesting that I go down a size to 42?

Simon, I thought that your normal size was a 42, so I'm saying, buy that size, not go up a size as Paddy suggested for your RM jacket.

However .... if you want to layer, then go for the 44, but even your RM doesn't exactly look snug on you.

 

[Dodgy]

Ah, that is what I am thinking too - a 42 as per my normal sizing.

Yes, the B3 is not exactly snug a bit of room to layer underneath!
