Plausible it was a bigger size; in those days, they were still just "old flying jackets" and much less sought after than now (though ironically Macqueen probably did more than anyone to make them xdesirable as a fashion item, at least here in Europe). Of course, the usual disclaimer about "correct" WW2 fit being what the QM threw at the new recruit also applies here....

Just received the King of Cool Hilts today. Can't be happier!!! It's totally Aero's work and it's even Aero's seal jerky HH, not some softer cowhide like they said! The knits especially are interesting, they are not Aero's typical knits, maybe there's nylon blended in but I like it, it's tough.

Anyone actually bought one of these? I remember some threads talking about it but no one seemed to have handled one, it's quite expensive, for not knowing where it's made and any additional photos.

It would have to come with a baseball and a baseball glove.

Nice. Nice deep colour to it, like the one in the film.
