Hi,
I am looking at buying a reproduction of an early 50s civilian version of an A-2 and wondered about chest sizing for an authentic very early 50s fit.
Thanks to you guys, I have now have 3 options for this jacket:
Aero "Happy Days" Jacket:
Aerial Star A-2 with Slash Pockets:
NorShor Stratoliner with Leather Collar:
I am 6'3.5" tall with a slim/athletic build. My chest measures at 44".
What width in chest (pit to pit) would you recommend for an accurate early 50s fit of this type of jacket for me? I'm thinking around 24" pit to pit?
Thanks,
Dave
