FS - Headwind HL Block M422a Brand NEW! For Sale

Brettafett · Jun 25, 2018

Hi there,
I have just received this jacket, and reviewed it here.
https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/headwind-hl-block-m422a-pics-review.94173/

Its brand spanking new, only tried on for fit.
Took roughly 8 weeks to build... Unfortunately, it a bit long for my liking and would like to see it go to a favourable home.
Labelled a size 40 (would fit a 40 - 42 chest). Its trim-ish, but I could wear a sweater under if I wanted. There is room in the lower torso also.
Jacket zipped, laid flat, un-stretched, measures APPROXIMATELY...
Pit to pit front - 21.5"
Pit to pit back - 22"
Shoulder to shoulder - 18.25"
Sleeve length incl knit - 26.5"
Back length incl knit - 26"
Zipper - 24"
(I am approx 5'10, 72kgs, trim, athletic)... I could possibly even have sized down.
Would ideally suit someone in the 6ft to 6'2 range I guess.

Would prefer to send to UK or EU, but will send anywhere.
Prepared to eat the 'on top' expenses it cost me (postage and import duties were another £160), so selling for £600 plus postage to you.

Have some fit pics, if anyone is interested to see the fit on a 5'10 trim frame.

Lovely jacket! I wish the pit to pit was around an inch larger.

Brettafett · Jul 12, 2018

Finally a chance to take some fit pics.
I know many of you will say it looks fine, but really, it feels one size too big. Theres room in there for a sweater and lots of food.
Sleeves are perfect, body feels a touch long on my 5'10 frame. The pit to pit is deceiving... The bi-swing back opens the jacket up, making me think I need a 20"!!! (I usually have a 21.5 to 22" A-2)
This is the third time I have taken it out of its packaging to try on. It will go back into its original packaging, awaiting its new home. This is an insane M422a repro of the best possible quality and workmanship.

A really beautiful jacket, but the wife would kill me if I bought another! so instead have a 'bump' on me.

£600 and I'll cover standard tracked shipping anywhere in the world.

Having one of Headwind’s jackets, I can attest to the great job he does.

I’m actually surprised that it wasn’t snatched up immediately.

Good luck BF!

Thanks Deacon! In fact, I half blame you for this... Your jacket just looked so good, I had to have one!

Had a couple of guys enquiring about measurements, so I took the jacket out again and did some more measurements and a few extra pics. Compared to my AVI G-1...

Jacket zipped, laid flat, measures APPROXIMATELY...
Pit to pit front - 21.5" un-stretched, 22.5" stretched
Pit to pit back - 21.5" un-stretched, 22.25" stretched
Shoulder to shoulder - 18.25" plus
Sleeve length incl knit - 26.25" measured on outside of sleeve curve
Back length incl knit - 26"

Unstretched 21.5"

Stretched 22.5"

Unstretched 21.5"

Stretched 22.25"

Its tricky to provide stretched measurements... The jacket has natural creases and folds, but does stretch out a bit... I had to get creative, but these are best I can do.
As I said above, I'm 5'10+, 72kgs, athletic, 40 chest, 33 waist and the jackets lengths are good for me, but I feel i could have sized down. With the bi-swing back opening up, theres a bit of room there and I'd prefer a more snug fit. Fits more like a 42... Quite similar to me recent ELC M422a 42. I could easily go down to a 38 on this.

For Xmas and NY only... £450 (Paypal Family & Friends), plus postage.

Brettafett · Jan 15, 2019
