Here are a couple of shots of yours truly wearing the G&B.
There is some extra room in the body but it is not unbearable. I really do not want a perfectly fitted jacket.
What I want is for the sleeves to wrinkle up a bit. I might try the water treatment this weekend.

I've been slow-motioning my way through The Best Years of Our Lives - see the A2 Dana Andrews wears for a really great jacket that has just emerged from the war. Snug sleeves, and a pretty smooth hide.


Looks GREAT Feraud! What a jacket...



The misting will soften and drape it, the zip cover will look softer. It's hard to attack an expensive new garment, but the more worn they get, the better they look.

Gee, you're skinny!

A great film.
I am glad you commented on the smooth hide. A trend in a2s appear to be for the hide to be grainy, mismatched, and/or "jerky" styled.
It is an good option to read that smooth hides are an accurate "period" choice.
You should post a few screen caps!

No talking about skinny. Let us not jinx things..;)
