Post up your aviation class photos (and ID any jackets you can see)

Yep … they guy on the far right kneeling has a jacket that doesn’t drape and is probably a little trim on him

Probably not trim, just right.

I've seen A-2s that look like shirts -- that's "trim," and not for me.

While a bit baggy in the waist, very close to my ideal fit.

I’ve never had one fit like that. Maybe cause I’ve never been that skinny. Arms look a bit short but shoulders look bang on. Rough wear?

 

[Chandler]

Rough wear?

'33 Werber.

'33 Werber.

Looked like a roughwear collar. I think a lot of it is being skinny in the bottom end, the pants, sitting up high on the hips. I rather like the look but damned if I’ve ever had it.

Probably the collar stand.

I don't know if the baggyness comes from being about 130 pounds soaking wet, rather than the jacket itself.

We're all bigger these days what with all the modern high glucose/fructose corn syrup diets that came around during the Nixon/vietnam era.

I used to look like that in an A-2 when I was 18 too.

These days I have trouble squeezing into my G-1 Jackets, let me tell you, the struggle is real. Gotta hold it in.

Yeah, we’re definitely different animals now. Might have to get jc to make the appropriate adjustments to make 30/40’s jacket fit a 21st century frame

Add to that the fact that most of us reach our full natural bone growth since we aren't at all malnourished. I'm sure JC has already had to alter his patterns a bit to get a similar fit on us to what they had back then.
