I called WPG and as many others have said they recommended going one size up to wear over a sweater which was 100% correct, some reviews have complained about poor quality but I was pleasantly surprised, it is excellent, the design, (RAF 1942 pattern), sheepskin, (the weight is ideal--not super thick like some companies), zips, stitching, buckles--all surpassed my expectations!
Looking forward to some cold weather here in the Mid-Atlantic to give it a workout, the more this jacket is worn--the better looking it will get, thanks for a quality product WPG.

Irvin jacket
(2011-10-07)
Always wanted one of these! Great price and a fine jacket. I don't have any complaints at all - I love it! The fit, the color, the pile are all what I was hoping for. I debated between this and Jerry's B-3 and am glad I got this one. (Although I do see a B-3 in my future!) For the first time, I can't wait for winter to get here now! I was on the fence for a few weeks over buying this. Don't be - it's a great purchase, and was here lightning quick too.

Tally Ho!

Received my RAF jacket today. As always, I''m very impressed by the speed of delivery (much faster than local mail...). I ordered one size larger as recommended, and it fits perfectly! It''s heavy, soft and VERY warm. And WOW! that enormous collar wraps around my entire head! No more wind-bitten ears!!! For once,I''m almost looking forwards to the Norwegian winter... My only concern is that it feels SO soft, I''m worried it might tear easily, but time will tell. Anyway, it looks great with my submarine sweater! Now I only hope WPG will start making the sheepskin trousers that were used with it, and an RAF leather helmet to complete my "Biggles"-look...
