First, Welcome. Second, You are Portly, So What ? Great! It probably fits outstanding. Third, Your idiot colleague is an idiot? I think you already knew that. The rest of the world's disapproval is your confirmation.

I too like the contrast stitching and two tone leather. I like the slimmer fit also, and wouldn't mind some more contrast on the knits.

I tend to agree, Mil Spec G-1 sizing runs large. They have action backs which provide for loose fit and movement. I wear 38, and my A-2's in 38 are way more snug than the G-1. I think a 36 would still do me on the G-1.

Happy Days was still good after Fonzie Jumped the shark. This is not the same.

You have 3 posts. I want to see a photo of you in this G-1. It is size 36, I bet it looks awesome. you can't just show pics of the jacket.

I have two Cooper A-2 jackets. Both are from the early 1980's time frame. Both are 38R and mil spec, and measure exactly 40" chest.

Tommy Gun, You need to have a hat stretcher also. If you have hats, one is required. You can skillfully resize up or shrink one down and keep it just right.

I read through this thread and kept trying to think of something cute to say, but It's all drained out of me now. I'm scared of some of the cold you guys have seen. I don't like this game.

When I was talking about Scientific note taking, I meant in a Lab notebook, for R&D. The only thing that should be used there is a plain cheap Bic stick pen.

Glad to see someone picking up the fountain pens. I've got a Pen "fetish". I think anyone who learns, studies, teaches, writes, thinks for a living would gravitate to good writing tools and paper too. If you are teaching as a grad student, get a special pen for grading papers and put red ink in...
