A-1 Test Jacket 46

[fishmeok]

I'm using up the last of my lambskin and am almost finished with another A-1 test jacket size 46- waiting for cuffs- decided to put this up before the arms are done in case someone wanted a particular arm length.

Natural brown lambskin, wool knits, real horn buttons (Italian! ), cotton liner. Two piece back, three piece arms. USN style button closure pockets, double topstiched and placed high on the jacket. With or without a hanger, your choice.

Pit to pit front 24.5
Pit to pit back 25
shoulders 20
front 24
Arms anywhere from 26" on down

Looks the same as my last A-1 (scroll all the way to the bottom of the page), pictures here:

Hey Buddy - I normally take a 46 or 48R, depending on who makes the garment - the chest measurement sounds close on this one - what do you think? I believe these were supposed to fit trim...I got an off the rack "G-8" in 46R from flightjackets.com and it fits me fine, but I also have Cooper A-2 in 46R that is very tight.

If I know my brands, this will fit more like the FJ (=US Authentic) than the Cooper. There's about 4" room over the tag size.

Coopers often were tagged with the garment dimensions, not the size of the wearer. 46 meant it would fit a 42" chest best and a 44" snugly.

My US-A's give 4-5" room over tag size. They're also cut a little longer than usual, especially the sleeves.
