    Customer photo review of USN M-421A Summer Flight Jacket

    This one is almost perfect but I am not 100% happy with this one. Either I am between two sizes or actual sizes are very different from one jacket to another. Let me explain: I am 1,76 m and weigh 71kg. Ordered it in 40 and it was super large and sleeves were unusually long. Switched to size 38 and now it is rather close to the body and length and sleeves are almost too short (I mean it still looks ok but more like a short or slim fit). I wish I could machine wash it to give it a vintage appearance and also because actual color is more yellowish/redish than the khaki color on Bronson pictures, but I’m too afraid it may shrink and fit even shorter than before. Not sure how I would look like in reenactment with this one because of the modern fit on me but looks good on a daily basis.
