    Do you miss the Schott historical website as much as I do? Mannnnnnnnn.,......if I meet the son ever in NYC or wherever, I'm gonna beg him to put it back up!

    I gathered a lot of information off that site, especially Gail’s responses. I am sure she left a hole in Schotts archives and historical knowledge. Hard to find good intel anymore unless you read on TFL.

    Those archives should be in the Library of Congress

    I saw a post concerning a Natel CR you returned. I have one with the following measurements, if it would work.

    Pit to pit - 27 inches
    Shoulder seam to shoulder seam - 23 inches
    Shoulder seam to end of cuff - 26.5 inches
    Length - 29 inches

    I also have a big Johnson Leathers CR.

    FYI-I grew up in south FL and lived in central FL (Lakeland area) for a number of years. I'd melt if I went back.

    I have two CR styles at the moment but your Natel may be a via replacement. My thoughts/question is that the one Natel CR I bought was labeled a size 50 and was way short in the body so your measurements seem a lot more generous with a 46 label, which could work. Also, the one I bought had a thick non removable quilt liner that also had insulated sleeves. So your removable liner could work on that front.

    I am thinking about it but probably would need to move my Legendary CR , thanks again.

    I've given up with labeled jacket sizes. No idea how my Natel can be a 46, but those are indeed the measurements I'd encourage you to read up on Natel/Natal on TFL. I say Natal/Natel because there seems to be a connection between the two, but nobody has been able to connect the dots. I've never heard a negative word.

    Same for Johnson Leathers...do the research and you'll find lots of positives.
