New guy going off!

Hello all,
Having just purchased the G&B Navy g-1 in a size 44 Tall and receiving a Cockpit A-2 in a 46 tall, I have sadly concluded that both are too large. lesson learned: DO take chest measurements on your own (if you are new, like me, to the flight jacket world). I love both jackets dearly, but after seeing many of you and your great fits, I have concluded that now is the time to alter, sell, or trade both of them. Though I am upset (and a bit hasty, I will admit), it is time to find "that jacket" that looks as good on me as many of you. I recently posted pics of the g-1 not too long ago, I am happy to get any feedback/recommendations/buyers? I will have pics of the A-2 up soon. Stay tuned.
Thank you all.
-Nick

you could try shrinking them down i did it with a cooper g-1 and an aero b-3 and it worked perfectly.
I soaked the bodies, leaving the arms dry as they were ok and then blasted the jackets in a dryer on hot. i took them out every 10 mins or so and tried them on and repeated until i was happy with the fit. i then let them finish drying naturally.
