    trim A2?

    The Werber from ELC is even trimmer. I normally take a 42 in all of the ELC A-2s but would take a 44 in the Werber.

    Original B-15D MOD

    Just got this jacket and here are some shots of it. It is just about as mint as mint can be. I know it was never drycleaned and worn little if at all. The USAF decal is mint and the white star and USAF inside the jacket is rarely seen. I have one question this metal pen cap was in one of the...

    It is kind of hard from those photos but it sure does look like it could be a dubow.

    Nylon jackets question

    The B-15C from BR is a bit on the short side as were the originals. The MA-1 first edition Lion uniform is also a bit on the short side. I have had the BR and now an original in size Large which fits the chest and shoulders fine but is a bit short. Most of the 50s nylon jackets were a bit...

    A1 jacket

    I am not sure we really know who made the A1 contract models as many were private purchase. Looking at period photos one sees a wide variety of styles. The WG model is a good effort. I really like my ELC A-1 as it really looks like the original since it was modelled after one.

    d-1 question

    I don't think you could go wrong with either one. I ordered the D-1 redskin from Aero as it was a bit cheaper and free shipping from aero usa.

    Eastman VS Aero B-6

    Both are great jackets. I debated over the D-1 or B-6 Aero and went with the D-1. I think the Aero is a great price and from what I have seen a great jacket. The Eastman while a bit more is an excellent choice. I don't think you could go wrong with either one of them.

    Aero B-10 vs. Buzz Rickson B-10

    I have had a couple of those jackets never quite able to hang on to them. Take a 42 in Eastman A2s and a 42 in the B-10 from Buzz. Don't know about the Aero sizing but I suspect it would be pretty close. Some of the Japanese web sites have measurements for the Buzz jackets. That could help you.

    G-1 Fit

    Agree with AF I have found however that 42 fits me fine and have had several contracts in the 50s and 60s that have fit about the same (except in length). I think the 44 might be a bit big on you. I am 5 10 and weigh 175 just for info purpose. I can wear a 42 with a heavy sweatshirt.
