Generally pleased with my WPG Tanker jacket. After reading other reviews as I’m 6ft, 205lbs with a 36 ins waist I followed the advice to size down and went with a Medium. The fit is OK but would’ve preferred it to be just a little roomier as there’s little space left for it to be worn with anything else than a thin sweater. Others have noted that their jackets weren’t very tapered however mine is almost too much. If my waist was just an inch or size larger the jacket would’ve been too tight as the waist doesn’t appear to be very elasticated. If it wasn’t for the high cost of returning it back to the UAE I may have been tempted to try the Large size. While the quality is pretty good it ought to be noted that it’s not the most accurate reproduction available. A few obvious points let it down, such as the zip going right to the top of the knitted collar, rather than just half way up being one. The typo error on the label, ‘Stock’ is spelt ‘Stcok’ , being another. Anyway, bearing all the above in mind it has to be said the WPG Tanker jacket is still good value and probably better than most other tanker jackets of a similar or comparable price.

Nice Jacket

This Jacket is an outstanding value, looks and fits very nicely. The only issue might be the zipper, which seems rather cheep and hard to zip.

Perfect Everyday Jacket
(2017-10-07)
This jacket is a bargain considering it's quality. Really, you can't beat the price and superfast delivery from UAE! I am 6'2 with 44" chest. My concern was the arm length since I require 36" from neck to cuff and usually 26" from shoulder to cuff. I have NEVER worn a medium in anything However a medium in this jacket is superb and fits me PERFECTLY! This is a good quality jacket made with quality materials. I have seen reviews that there is no taper at the waist but this isn't the case with my jacket. My build for my height is slender to average. I really like the color, a nice balance between green and khaki. Looks great with jeans! If you're second guessing like I did, don't hesitate. It's a worthy purchase!
