Then you may have to consider the cut and pattern of a B-6. That beautiful Eastman B-3 is within the original pattern. They were design to protect the owner from the harsh elements of sub zero temp way up there in the skies.
I prefer the lighter cut of a B-6's personally.

A quick update on my experience with Viberg and sizing the 310. Their service is helpful and fast to answer questions.
I tried 2 sizes so I had to deal with a return which was super fast and easy.
I finally went for a size 8.5. A size 9 was just way too big and roomy especially at the front...
Fresh from Viberg (Kirsten) after providing my foot measurement in cm, can't go wrong with that.
''We have considered the measurements you have provided and we still recommend having the size 9 for the 310 last.''
So I conclude that going by actual measurement (wish I did that from the get go)...
Adding some info, in case others have the 310 on their list, but I am not out of the woods yet ... ;)
I went to a local store and I am still a size 9 with RW-IR. Tried a 9.5 and it just looked and felt wrong on my feet.
My longest foot is 27.7 cm, so from online guides I am a true US/Can 10.5...
Observe, yes I do wear my two pairs of Iron Rangers, 15 and 17 year of wear and a resole on one pair, the other pair is original. You are correct in that my feet have probably flatten a bit, 10.5 brannock was a surprise 4 weeks ago when I measured.
Thank you for that comment Faux59, I did the...
Hello,
I’m looking for some advice about how to properly size a Viberg 310. I am going to buy directly from Viberg and as always buying online is a bit of a gamble especially in that price range.
I do have some good guidelines from Kirsten at Viberg, to have a down size by 1.5 from my brannock...
Didn't know it was made in France...
The original Canadienne (Québec) is more like a duffel coat than a Mackinaw. And It always had toggle fastenings.
No reason to change your title, it's just fun to talk about real VTG stuff!
GLWTS!
