Hi everyone,
This is my first post here. I've spent a lot of time looking through old threads. My question is regarding RMNZ's sizing for their B-3. I'll be ordering one soon and need help on what size to go with.
I'm a size 45 chest and can usually fit a size 46 suit with the sides taken in a few inches. I have a very athletic build and my shoulders and arms are somewhat bigger than normal. I want the jacket to fit just like it would have been worn in the 40's, but I know it's hard to do with my build. For reference, I tried on a size 44 Schott B-3 at a army navy surplus store and it was too tight around the shoulder area.
I have read that their sizing runs smaller than usual. For anyone with experience with RMNZ B-3's, what size would you recommend?
Thanks
