Hmmm, to be honnest, I don't see too much similarities between the 1756 and the Werber 1939. Maybe the general shape? Appart from that, the long thin epaulets of the Werber, with the somewhat smaller stitch boxes, the beautifully scaloped poket flaps, the pointy collars... Anyway, for the...
On those 5-10 minutes, anything can happen. A car can cut you off, whatever. Try to slide your hands on the asphalt at even 30Km/H, and you will sorely regret not wearing gloves...
While I'm at it, found a couple pictures of my grandfather (my father's father) in the mid 50's. He was a bus driver and mechanic. On the second pic, he's sitting in the modified surplus Dodge truck they used as a tow vehicle. His brother is standing on the left. My grandfather passed away in...

Indeed, Peter De Brabander is the head of QMI.be. A couple guys I know owns his horse hide A-2 jackets, and they really look great for the price. They seem to be based on a Monarch contract. Accuracy wise, they're on par with G+B and the likes, from what I gather, but certainly not with...
Hello Valentina,
Your best bet would be to contact Aero or Eastman directly and ask them if they have any size that should be close to te required measurements. They should be able to orient you best.
