Not bad at all! (2011-04-20)
I ordered the four-pocket service coat and am VERY pleased with it. As I did when active air Force, I bought the coat a size larger than I wear to allow for tailoring. The sleeves didn't need much take-up, but the body did require some taking in. No problem, that just makes it look better. The only downside was that the belt ran from left to right, rather than the proper right to left. Also not a major issue, as a good tailor can reverse that. Delivery was WPG's usual faster-than-light (I ordered on a Saturday and had it on Tuesday), and was very impressed with the coat right out of the package. This four-pocket will have the proper VIII Bomber Command insignia placed on it, as well as Hershey Bars to represent eighteen months overseas service. The military tailor I took it to was very pleased to be working on it, as her husband is a WWII historian. An active duty lieutenant who was getting his modern blues tailored commented on how nice this coat looks and said "I wish we wore those still instead of the McPeak blues." When the active military likes how good a reproduction is, you KNOW it's good.

Excellent (2011-04-13)
The tunic is impressive. Well constructed and very authentic. I still can't get over the fast shipping! Sizing does run a bit big - but the originals were tailored...and so will this one! An authentic experience!

Authentic Reproduction (2011-04-06)
I'm a bit fussy when it comes to authenticity - but I truly feel that you will not find a better ready made tunic. It may well need fine tuning but it is a garment which has been well made - though a bit large (I'm a 38" and the 42" tunic drowns me). This should not in any way put you off of buying this excellent reproduction which arrived here in the UK just a few days after ordering.
Please WPG make some smaller sizes!
