I just want to be a bit fashionable :)
Carhartt is definitely a good call however.
I dont know if this works for really cold, but this jacket looks great. What is it?
Interesting idea about the leather vest!
Last winter here in Michigan, we saw temperatures as low as -15F.
If I were to be out in that in Fedora Lounge approved apparel, what would it be?
I have my insulated Arcteryx jacket that I wear for more athletic wear, however what is a A-2 equivalent of this? :)
I have a Crescent Down Works...
I called and spoke with Charles at HPA yesterday and we decided to have me try a B-6 in a 42 :)
He said I could go either way, 42 or 44, but suggested I give the 42 a go if I wear more tight-fitting sweaters/hoodies and like the trim fit on my A-2, additionally he said the 44 may feel a bit long...
I wanted to add my RMC A2 into this thread. Size 42. I am 5'7 ~170-175lbs
I agree that the armholes are tight, however I would not want anything bigger, and I love this leather.
I thank you all for the conversation :)
Can we pivot to three things here?
1. Which B-6 or similar to pick up? Based on what I read over on History Preservation I should be looking for about 6-8" in the chest with those..most (except Aero) in a 42 I've seen achieve that with a 24" pit to pit...
It is a 42. I was between this and a 44 but I think the 44 would have been too long in the body, this feels like a great fit :)
This is dangerous because now I am looking at a G-1 or a B-6.
Ended up paying the premium for real Mccoy

Very cool..
Now I am looking at https://tempodesignstore.com/products/teacore-aniline-horsehide-type-i-g-jacket-in-black-tb-140?pr_prod_strat=collection_fallback&pr_rec_pid=4689973116979&pr_ref_pid=4689398562867&pr_seq=uniform
It is my opinion that we cannot judge a fit by a boot/jean photo alone, I also believe that nothing short of wide straight fit jeans look good with those..maybe a BIGGER cuff
