I ordered it in a 40L and they said body was 27” so I’ll let you know and take some pics when it arrives. Shoulder dimension bothers me a bit since they claim it’s 17.5” but hoping the bi-swing back will help.
I saw somewhere that someone made mention of how the sleeves are like 1.5” longer than the back length. In my experience, both measurements should ideally be the same, right? Does this cause a lot of knit tunneling on the arm?
Okay awesome and honestly this is all exactly what I wanted to read about this jacket! I’m looking forward to it arriving and hope it’s a true military fit and not too big or too small.
Howdy y’all,
Just bought one of these and waiting for it to arrive. Any thoughts on this jacket? Is it really as trim fitting as Cockpit says it is? Decent quality?
Interesting you say that about the Cockpit G1 because the Cockpit USA mil spec G1 caught my eye! Any insight on that jacket? I’m thinking I’ll just order my usual sport coat size of 40L based on the measurements I received.
It just came in and the guy who sold it to me took measurements which were pretty off. Pit to pit is another 1.5” which makes it look rather baggy and I’ll fitting. So disappointed! Oh well, onto the next project I guess. Search continues for a solid G1 or A2 in my tall, skinny and goofy size haha
Just bought one from eBay and it should be arriving today. Anyone have any experience with there? Apparently it’s about 20 years old and goatskin, but is a slim, military fit which is what I’m looking for! I wanted an Eastman, but figured maybe this could make a nice beater jacket.
I’ll post...
Anyone have any advice on Gibson Barnes A2s? I just bought this one one eBay and I’m hoping it will work as a solid “knock around” a2 jacket while my search for an Eastman continues. I think it’s an older version Mk31, but not sure...
