My first new purchase from 5* arrived today. I was back and forth on the sizing, decided to go with a 48/2X according to the G-1 size charts on the site. Seems to fit properly everywhere (length, sleeves, shoulders) EXCEPT it is a bit snug when zipped up. To their credit, they did recommend a bigger size but I screwed up the measurements and was afraid I'd get something way too big (size 54/5X).
I've attached some photos. Should it be that snug? I think it looks fine unzipped and quite honestly that's probably how I'd wear it most of the time... but there's not much room underneath for a heavier shirt if it's cooler out (pics are just in a plain t-shirt).
I also included a couple pics of another old A-2 I just got off ebay that seems to fit just about perfect (size 48 as well, go figure). Are the sizings between G-1/ANJ-3 and A-2 different? Will the new jacket "stretch" a bit to fit my shape? (Caveat that I also have a goal to drop about 40 pounds this year.)
I really like the jacket, it's a beautiful horsehide and I like the dark brown color. Not opposed to selling it off and trying again. Any thoughts?
