Would love to see "the other" 42 :) If you've shown it in the past, I think I've missed it.

Burt, it's my dream jacket. Everything is perfect, size, Hump history, camels, back art. I tried to reproduce same one on one of my already sold AVI. And once when we lost an engine over mountainous China I thought a lot about those iron men who flew there in the 40s on old piston planes. If one day you suddenly decide to sell it - let me know first.

The Werber is unique in a few ways, unique pocket shape, slightly shorter in the body perhaps, compared to other G-1s (but not by much).
But it DOES have longer sleeves! This contract was made for me lol

Im finding that earlier USN contracts, M-422As, 55J14s and 7823s... Size 40 works well for me. Then something changed and I need to go up to a 42.
Seems, the later the model, the smaller they get. In some Ds, I can wear a 44.

The Bronco surprised me. Size 42 and it fits like a dream. Lengths are perfect.
Sleeve ends are a bit wider, makes a difference. (My GW Bronco is a very close fit)
I generally wear a 42 in originals for a comfortable fit, but the sleeves are almost always a bit short. Can wear a 44 in some cases, but not tried many.
