I ordered the socks together with a pair of shoes, a shirt and a US Army Officer 4-Pocket Class A Dress Tunic. Unfortunately the tunic was too large. I've send it back for an exchange. I expect there will be no problem. The other 3 items really are what I was looking for. I'll participate next july as a reennactor at the Duxford Flying Legends show and I'm sure I will look great in these items. Thx

Great Service Coat
(2011-12-08)
These WPG service coats are the best available today. The ones I've ordered both compare favorably with my friend's original WWII vintage officer's service coats. The wool elastique is faithfully reproduced, and the cut is accurate. That being said, these coats require tailoring - just like the originals! WWII officer's jackets were tailored, unlike the Sad Sack issue garments which were mass produced in "standard" sizes. I had my officer's chocolate service coats fitted by a local tailor. I also had the tailor add "theater made" bullion insignia and WWII vintage "36 line" officer's buttons, and these jackets could pass for originals! So, if you order one, please plan to have it fitted. This is not a defect with the design, it's simply how it was done. Thanks again Jerry for another great product. Keep up the good work. I love your stuff!
