Hej da!
Like some other dudes already pointed out do not restrict your search on the United States.
Check also on EBAY Germany, UK aso.
There is currently 2 or 3 G1 for sale on EBay Germany from a vendor named “Ferromil”.
He is an reliable dude and might also sell direct from his shop.
International shipping from Germany to Sweden should be around 30 to 40 Euro max …
The thing with the IMPERIAL is they have been produced in cowhide for a limited timeframe which is a bit “squeaky” once in a while. I like the material more than the cost especially during winter.
Like everyone else pointed out there is differences in sizing sometimes inbetween different production badges even from the same supplier.
As for your dimensions I’d recommend a 44 as long as you’re not super athletic. I’m 1.90 mtr with 100 kgs and my preferred size is 46.
Also there is slight differences in the shape of the jackets from manufacturer to manufacturer. As for fitting I prefer the cut of the CAGLECOs - they suit my dimensions most.
There is so many specialists on this forum with much more experience than me - and this is without any irony - you will find your jacket for sure.
Stay away from repros that’s for G1-beginners only. Still they are available reasonably priced so no need to go for a copy if you can have an original.
My collection is currently around 12 or 13 G1 from different makers and I love ‘em over the A2 jackets (even though they are cool garment as well).
Stay away from the BRILL with those leather replacements
and wait for a better option.
If you want me to point you towards the G1 which are listed in Germany or UK drop me a pm.
If you got trouble to buy in Germany I can support you as a proxy. This is what other forum-members did for me when I was still a rookie around on the VLJF.
Cheers from Germany
