In channeling my best Colonel Nicholson, I decided to go with WPG's bush jacket, given the quality items I've received from them in the past. I am average build and wear 42R. I opted to follow WPG's advice and size up to a 44R. When the jacket arrived, it seemed really big and I almost returned it. But the shoulders seemed to be good so I laundered the jacket in a warm wash and medium tumble dry. The jacket shrank quite a bit and down to a near perfect fit. The jacket is made of a heavy cotton twill. It is darker than the photo on the website, but it is of quality construction and with quite a bit of detail. The buckle is a flimsy stamped metal, but it is buttoned in and easily replaced. I didn't bother since I have a leather Sam Browne belt that will replace the cloth belt that comes with the jacket. All in all, a quality jacket and a tremendous value. Just be sure to get the right size and remember it will shrink a good amount.

In channeling my best Col. Nicholson, I picked up this bush jacket since I've always found WPG's items to be well made. I am of average build and wear a 42R. I followed WPG's recommendation to size up and went with a 44R. The jacket is made of a heavy weight cotton twill fabric. The coat is well constructed with excellent details. The belt buckle is thin stamped metal and the only real negative. But it is buttoned in and easily replaced. I am using a leather Sam Browne belt, so I did not even bother with it. The 44R was really big on me and I thought about returning it. But the shoulders seemed good so I washed the jacket in warm water followed by a medium tumble dry. The jacket shrank down to a near perfect fit. All in all, an excellent jacket and a tremendous value. Just be aware of the right size for you.

I received my bush jacket with the usual speedy delivery by WPG. After a quick wash, I can tell that it's going to break-in nicely and be very comfortable. One quibble--the belt-retaining loops seem a bit too low, and the snaps on the belt don't stay snapped (not a big concern, as I don't plan on using the belt).
