Fellow G-1 Collectors,
I am looking at a Irwin B. Foster G-1 on eBay in Size 46. I tend to fit a larger 46 to a 48. Based on your experience, would the IB Foster 46 be a bit snug for me? Just wondering if it is worth the bidding. Thanks
Cheers,
Mike

My Irvin B. Foster is a 1962 jacket. It is a size 44 and fits my 40/42 chest with room to spare.
