I was in Vancouver last year, there are 3 or 4 army surplus stores around Vancouver.
One in Downtown http://store.valueweb.com/servlet/gorillas/StoreFront,
One in NWestminster https://dstactical.com/
One on Hastings I think.

I can't remember...
This is mine, it was one of he first batch they made, plain vanilla off the rack cowhide, size medium which translates to about 38-40" chest. The back length is 31".
If you can persuade them to make one out of their current Indy jacket brown horsehide I think you will have a beautiful jacket.
I was looking through that site a little while ago and noticed they already did their own version of the Doctor Who/German jacket.... they may not even know it!

I'll see if I can find you a pic. It's the suit jacket. I was surprised when I saw it.
Does that mean the pockets are double entry or there is a second pocket behind the first?
Sorry, to bring this little thread back but I thought you'd might enjoy a little development. The jacket is pretty nice, but the "Vintage" effect was a little too suedy for my taste.
Sooo, I go myself a pot of Pecards and got to work. All I can say is... it's worked wonders. I'm very pleased...
Take care my friend. I had a similar thing a couple of years ago. Turned out to be a mixture of stress, raised blood pressure and sky high cholesterol. Let's hope that like me a daily dose of greens and a statin pill will do the trick!
You may have seen the problems some of us smaller guys have had with the sizing of the US Wings jackets. I wrote to them... 40 inch chest 1XXlb etc etc. They came back and said we have a medium that should suit you fine! I played it safe i thought so got a Goatskin A2 in Small. It swamped me...
As you are relatively close have you explored the possiblity of them sending you a stock 48 to try for size? Or would the postage and customs (?) liabliltes be too costly?
