Hi. Many thanks to Kevin for the jacket. It's condition is exactly as how he described it, barring a few cat hairs or so. :lol: Fits very trim. Not so much in the chest, but it's tight in the shoulders (I've read that the Dubow is supposedly a bit more tighter in the shoulders than other contracts?). The sleeves fit fine, unless I'm driving, in which case they ride up. What does everyone think of the fit? I do weight about 20lbs more than Kevin, but a good 10lbs of that is just winter pelt I'm soon going to be rid of (fingers crossed). Covered my face to hide my many double chins (and I'm shy). I'm 5'9, 180lbs.
Comparison to my Gibson and Barnes civil A2 size 42 (in hindsight, should have gotten a 40, but I didn't know anything about jackets back then, blindly followed the sales guy's advice, and thought for the past year that this is how a A2 was supposed to fit). Space enough for me to layer a sweater in winter which came in pretty handy.
Also my favourite lambskin which is medium (38-40) and the chest on this is about 22 1/2 inches.
Any opinions on the fit and advice would be much appreciated. Cheers.
