a bit small but otherwise a fine piece
(2009-04-29)
I wear uniforms for a living and I know I am a size 44L. The 44L they sent was too small but the replacemnent 46L fit perfectly. I wear a 16-1/2-34 shirt and the colar and sleeves are fine for me. It was missing the button hole on one cuff and the button itself was sewn onto the wrong side of the cuff so I had to enlist the mother in law to do some repair work. Jerry has two shades of KD and this was of the tanner variety that is not have much orange in it. I plan to replace the plastic belt buckle with the two pronged standard RAF brass service dress buckle but I need to find somebody that can do round button holes to take the prongs. Jerry should consider taking the SD brass belt buckles that he has made for the SD tunics and using them on these bush jackets as that is what the old photos seem to show used. The buttons should be the football style that are fairly large but these buttons look ok and are standard military fare.

A great find--but the tall of stature beware
(2009-04-04)
I found the Bush Jacket to be well-constructed, and with a more substantial fabric than I'd anticipated. Above all, it is priced significantly below any alternatives I've come across. A word on sizing: I ordered up a size, from my traditional 48L to 50L. The jacket fits perfectly in the shoulders and girth-wise. However, it's length is puzzling: at least 2" too short, EXCEPT in the sleeves, which are probably 2" too long. In fact, the sleeves hang BELOW the jacket's hem. I'm 6'2", and I'm not sure I'd recommend this for anyone of similar height.
