Just FYI, if you want to get in touch with SM, don't wait for them to answer on emails. Call them on the phone, it will be waaaaay faster. That's what I did for the sizing of my USN boots, got an immediate answer to the phone, and they were very helpful and professional.

I tried a 2nd pattern BR once in a size 42 and it felt OK for me as they seem to be cut like Deck jackets...
If the 1st pattern is cut the same, then a 42 would fit just as well I guess...
I will think about it, discuss with my she-who-must-be-obeyed and let you know

I thank in advance those who can help me. I wanted to buy a Tankers 1st jacket and with patches and chevrons as from the Fury movie and among all those that you reviewed here from my personal point of view the most faithful is that of SM wholesale USA (which never answer
So, 190cm tall equates to 6ft 2 3/4 inches and a 120cm chest equates to 47 inches?
Now, is that the actual chest size, tape touching your body around the chest just below the armpits?
In very general terms - but this is far from a hard and fast rule - Imperial sizes include an allowance that ensures the garment will be a wearable and comfortable fit. When being measured up by a decent, traditional tailor he / she will factor in the allowance by placing fingers under the tape between it and the chest, so a 44 inch chest will show nearer 46 on the tape. This is why I ask if the chest measurement you state is with the tape tight against the body or otherwise.
The above is a crucial factor when it comes to buying off the peg [ready made garments].

I don't think you'll regret buying one of their jackets, @EnricoBrun . Buzz Rickson has a well-earned reputation for making first-rate products. Every person I've ever seen who's bought one has raved about the quality. Post some pics when you get it!

Have a new with tags 44 in Mildura... You really need to take the guidance and advice that gets offered. That is the true benefit of this place. Everyone else has already made the mistakes for you.

Couchy, keep in mind, Enrico’s new here, and he doesn’t know you from Adam. If I was a newby on the board, I know I wouldn’t send $400 to a complete stranger in another country. Buying a new one from an established business makes a lot of sense for him.

believe me it is the best price (with the size I need) on the whole web, very kind seller, he sent me measurements and photos of all kinds! if I bought in Europe or directly from Buzz I paid a lot more. Then it's normal, you have a better chance of finding them at a lower price, a bit like we Italians have low-cost pasta

Do you have any idea what thread you can use to sew patches? Is it a Tan color thread?
