bobjones said:Hi Peacoat. A few things I noticed:
1) I saw that you left the "V"-shaped" yoke off of the back, did you make any other modifications?
2) The middle of the jacket does seem huge, is it really a slim-fitting jacket?
3) You mentioned it was too small as a size 42, could it have just been a defectively measured Aero, as in its not really a 42? I say this because you're about to go up to a 46, and might be trying too far to correcet the first jacket, which might just have come out of Aero's factory when it should have been destroyed as a factory defect due to size...
4) I see the "squirrel" effect when you life your arms, is it as bad as it looks?
I didn't leave the yoke off the jacket; that is the way it came without my making any modification to it. I did get a pistol pocket on the inside of the left chest. That was the only modification I made to it. I believe it comes standard with the map pocket on the inside right.
The middle of the jacket really isn't large; it just looks that way in the pic. I will try to get my wife to take a side view tonight so that you can see.
No, it is a size 42. Mark measured one that he had, and the measurements were the same. I had the same thought, that's why I asked him to measure.
What appears to be excess material under the arms is there for a purpose. It gives more room in the chest than in the waist. Otherwise it would be the same width all the way down. This gives it a taper from the chest to the waist. It is normal.
