I like oversize. I will also deliberately buy a oversized jacket

Awesome, we're just back from talking to my neighbour about her Father who was in the RFC in 1918, fascinating stuff so glad I went round.

Rare jacket. I'm a newbe as it comes to brands guessing. So could you tell me what brand B3 this is?

Brett,

i really like the longer cuffs!

Plus, the fact that you always add a little extra to the torso...

Best regards,

Ties

ELC A-1 again. Has the tightest knits of any jacket I've owned. Not a bad thing, but they need to be pulled down once in a while...so the sleeves deceivingly look short here.

I get the same thing with mine, someone even commented on them recently, most annoying.

I think the whole "all wartime issued A-2s came with short knits" is absolute hogwash. It's just not borne out by photos. Problem is wool shrinks over time due to the drying out of the fibres so you can't really base the length of wartime knits exclusively on surviving originals.

I've posted this umpteen times but it bears repeating...

 

[SydneyCollectorGuy]

I honestly think this whole "wartime A2's look like this" argument is pretty absurd.......
Whatever they could churn out in the thousands was what they could churn out.....one of the greatest strengths about "handmade" factory products is also their greatest weaknesses......that the pattern makers might have made a "standard" but that doesn't mean Mrs such and such will be 100% accurate for the 10 jackets she made before lunchtime which would be VASTLY different to the 20 she made after lunch

Thanks Ties! Yes, I find it extra inch length helps.

The cuffs may appear 'longer' possibly due to wide angle camera perspective, but in reality they are 3", same as all my BKs, Platon's A-2, GWs, ELC B-10, even the ATF Tanker lol

BR 37J1 today with a BR SeaBees sweater underneath... Perfect combination for Fall weather....

 

[D97x7]

Inspired by Nick above I thought I'd don the ELC A-1 today.

 

[Griffon_301]

That A-1 looks just great!
