Pulled the trigger on one of these before lunch and it should be here tomorrow. I was after something warm, but with less weight than the Irvin. I can see it getting much more wear than the Irvin, which I found too heavy for our climate, even in the snows earlier in the year. Great in a vehicle, but not so good for walking in. I'll post up my thoughts on the B-15 once it's arrived and I've worn it for a while

Look forward to hearing about the Eastman. I quite fancy one of their B15s myself; recently picked up an Alpha Replica Series B15-C, and loving it as a change from leather.
I measure 46 exactly and the jacket fits with a little to spare. A 48 would have been huge on me. The arms are plenty long enough to allow for lifting the arms without the cuff riding up the wrist, there is enough in the back to not be tight if I reach, and the length is good on my 6ft 2in frame. I have not had time to take any photos today, but I will see if I can get some sorted in the morning. If anyone would like some of any particular details, please let me know.
