Hi,
I am a total newbie to flight jackets, but I definitely want to buy a A-2 and already have some ideas how I want it to fit.
Feel free to bash me, as my wishes might not correspond to any original contract, but maybe you have a good suggestion!
I am 6'2" (189cm) tall, I weight 190lbs (86kg), chest is approx. 42.5" (108cm) measured with a shirt and tad of room.
Long arms and torso.
This all said, I definitely look for a LONG, instead of a REGULAR cut.
Additionally, I want the jacket to have a more fitted tendency than the usual bulky cuts I saw so far and relatively long.
Eastman Leather suggested a Werber contract in a LONG cut (adding 1.5" to the sleeve and body).
Could some of you comment on this suggestion, suggest other contracts which might fit my requirments and maybe also comment on which size to take in the contracts with the above measurements?
Any help would be highly appreciated!
