    B-2s! (The furry cap, not the furry jacket)

    hi Alan, ... Yes the jacket is lovely. I stated in the PM that I will try and get the knits repaired by my seamstress but overall I am very pleased. Was surprised how well it fit, thought it would be a little big but with a cashmere sweater it fits AMAZINGLY and my girlfriend actually prefers...

    B-2s! (The furry cap, not the furry jacket)

    hey Hawkeye, will post pics ASAP... will take a few today for you. I actually like the RAF colors more since I like the Irvin jacket more than the B-3. Cheers, Bruce

    B-2s! (The furry cap, not the furry jacket)

    Maybe its just me or because I have ALOT of hair!! How are these caps supposed to fit? They seem to wear much higher on the head then my other baseball style caps!! I have many caps and these B-2s just seem to wear much higher on the head. Anyone one there with any insight about the wear...

    B-2s! (The furry cap, not the furry jacket)

    Thanks Alan, BTW I did receive my jacket and sent you a PM... hopefully this time around the caps will work better. Will give the 2 smaller ones to my girlfriend's son. I'm sure he like them as he liked the B-3 style jacket I bought for him as well earlier. Cheers, Bruce

    B-2s! (The furry cap, not the furry jacket)

    Well just placed another order.... with ELC for 2 more B-2 hats. Alan, I should have asked for your advice first on the sizing part. From what I read the sizing was somewhat erratic so I do not know if that would have made any difference. Unfortunately they are out of stock on the order B-2s...

    B-2s! (The furry cap, not the furry jacket)

    Shame as I think I would take a 7 1/8 from them... I just received both the B-2 and RAF version today in the mail in a size 7 and both are too small. :mad: I normally take a 7 but guess these run on the small side. Guess I will have to contact Gary and see what my options are. :rage...

    For Sale: Aero ANJ3 Labelled 42", fits like 40"

    Wish I were a 38... believe me, if I were a 38 the jacket would probably me in my closet by now. ;) I am a 34.5-35 depending on the day. (bare measurement without clothing) I think this jacket would be beyond pushing it for me. If it were a sheepskin like a B-3 or Irvin I could probably...

    Just picked this ELC A-2 up today!!

    hi Johan... I am 1.78m and about 68-69 kg. My chest is 86.5cm RELAXED and just about 89cm EXPANDED I think that the jacket fits great and allows for maybe one sweater underneath but no more than that. Hope that helps. Cheers, Bruce

    Just picked this ELC A-2 up today!!

    Its a size 36 and IMHO fits great!! It is probably the first FLIGHT jacket I own that fits the way it is supposed to!! I have a couple of MC jackets that fit really well also as they were tailored for me BUT this jacket also fits quite nicely as well. Sorry about the sports pants but I just...
