I thought this might be good when the weather gets too warm for an A-2 but it's too small for me.

I asked a few questions regarding size and it looks like it would be about a 38. Here's their reply;
'the shoulders are about 18 inches apart, the armpits are 21 inches apart, and the
shoulder seam to the cuff is 21 inches.'

They gave me a couple of closeups which i'll post if anyone want's them. One shows the zip which appears to be a conmar.

There's such a variety of this Australian gear, it turns up here in NZ, but I'm never sure what they actually are.

I have an earlier version with buttons .... then this one from 1963, with a different collar, and a brass lightning.

At least now I know what they're likely to be worth. :)
