ELC M-422A chest over measurement?

[Swing]

What does the ELC M-422A actually measure compared to it's labeled size? I'm figuring 4".

Thanks,

Hi, Swing,

That would be a good heading for a sticky - pit to pit, waist, shoulder to shoulder, arm length to the bottom of the sleeve and back length from the collar / body seam to the bottom of the wool waistband of all the sizes for the different repro makers.

I know Acme Depot - http://www.acmedepot.com/a2jacket/measure.shtml - has a good section on the A-2 measurements and Roger Moore - http://moorecustom.com/jackets/sizing.htm - has a lot of measurements for original Navy issue jackets.

Let's see how far this one gets.

Good idea Bill. A similar thing could be done for original A2s as well.

I had one (ELC G&F) a few years back, I believe it was 4 inches over. My original G&F is two inches over.
