Spearhead A-1

[alcon]

I've read a number of posts concerning the Spearhead A-1 and, although not "authentic," the jacket interests me. I'm a size 43 in the chest but 42R for shoulders. I was considering ordering a 44R and giving the HWT (hot water treatment). Does anybody know approximately how much shrinkage I can expect in the chest, sleeves, shoulders, etc? Thanks

Jacket material is 75 wool and 25 nylon . . .so I'd think it'll shrink to fit.

I'm going to get a 46 so if I get mine before yours I'll report on shrinkage.

Also if its made of BD like material then it'll be easy to mod or alter - pleats, darts, belt, extra material etc
