Iam a 42, but due to others saying this item runs large, I ordered the size 40. The actual measurements quoted for the size 42 seemed VERY large, and even the size 40 I ordered needs taking in, albeit only slightly.

The tailors I am using in Norwich actually worked on origonal garments belonging to the guys in the 8th Airforce. The 80 year old seamstress who is now retired, but had popped in for a visit felt sure they still had some 8th air force arm patches on the premises, somewhere!

All [3] remarked on the nice quality of this garment. The sleeves only needed taking up by a few millimeters, but there was some damage in transit which they will try and repair [the fit was so nice I didn't want to return it].

Other than that small dissapointment I'm really happy with the item and rapid [as ever] delivery.

The buttons were attatched, and the button holes were in place [various other posts confused me on this issue]. The sleeves are very loosely tacked for alteration.

Shame about the flimsy packaging, and the fact the tunic will need pressing, but I guess thats down to logistics.

Comparing this reproduction side by side with an original, you can definitely see the attention to detail and craftsmanship that went into making it. I will be switching out the buttons for a nicer set and having it tailored to fit. Other than that, this tunic is ready to go. As always, lightning fast shipping too.
