Tanker jacket ww2 imp

more pics ;
for this money .... I am very happy

I like loose clothes that do not restrict movement. Too fit clothing looks not naturally and oddly imho

Nice jacket. Pity you can't wear it in that tank!

Nice jacket.

And it cost little maybe I will buy better and more expensive tanker, but it makes sense to pay a lot more $$$ for a few details ? it is a matter of taste and discussion I consider this jacket to be solid and of good quality.

Pity you can't wear it in that tank!

it is calle dress code

Hi
Who was the maker of your Tanker jacket. I have a WWII Impressions Tanker jacket, which is supposed to be one of the more accurate repros out there . I’d be interested in finding another maker that has an accurate model.

I have a question if your jacket is also so wide under the armpits ? my jacket have 63 cm

The jacket is very large in the armpits and shoulders. I normally wear a size 46 and a size 44 is large on me. The size 46 fits like a size 50.

ATF has numbering S - M - L
M it breadth 37 -40
L - 41- 44
I have chest 43 "

Jacket it size L (pics) and has enough space to put something underneath. I prefer loose jackets than tight ,which constrains movements

pleas B-Man2, give pics Your tanker jacket how are you wearing a jacket on You

Most of the repro makers and originals DON'T go to the top? ATF Tanker zippers used to go to the top until purists sorted them out....

no, dont't go to the top

Take a look at Real McCoy, Buzz Rickson, WWII Impressions, SM Wholesale and the revised At The Front Tankers... When you find a decent original look at that too. Google the US Militaria Forum original tanker pics... My At The Front tanker behind me on the chair goes to the top. They corrected their pattern in the last five years or so.

Are these before or after pics? This is about where the zipper should sit... If these are after pics it must have been really low?

 

[ausreenactor]

This is how high ATF used to run their zippers up into the collar.

PS
I noticed a small inaccuracy in tanker jacket WW2 impression vs original (first pics ) .. ;zipp at the bottom is sewn too low, it is at the very bottom, should be a bit in up from the bottom edge jacket ( 1'' - 1,5" , 2 pics) Last pics it ww2 imp tanker , zipper is marked.
am I wrong ?

 

[kowalski]

no one noticed , strange
but zipper in ATF sewn to the top too high in wool colar everyone noticed

it pics (B-Man2 ) WW2 Impression , can see zipper, is too low i think
