This is really a nice piece. The main and only problem I have is that Jerry has two colours of KD cloth and this is the more orange of the two colours. The thigh pocketless early war KD trousers (and even the thigh pocket equipped midwar trousers) that I ordered at the same time are of the tanner variey of KD cloth so I have a colour mismatch unless I wear the KD shorts that are of the same colour shade as this tunic. I normally wear a 44L uniform but ordered a 46L off of the sizing chart for this item and it fits well. I am 73" tall with a 32" trouser inseam and 240 pounds. The bottom hem comes to the knuckles when at attention. The sleeves are long as Jerry says. I will have to have a tailor move the pointed portion of the cuff up the sleeve about 2 inches so as to have the proper 6" from the top of the point to the edge of the cuff. The buttons are original KC RAF SD buttons. They are not sewn but rather held on with circlips. This should allow quick conversion to RCAF buttons or something else. Epaulets come off and are simple sewn affairs. I believe the hard style are what should be worn on this tunic. These epualets could be dissembled and have cardboard inserted to look ok. Buckle is solid brass and looks ok. The belt is well made and is of proper length. It sewn onto the back of the tunic at the waist and rearward. A very nice piece although I wish that I could buy the proper trousers in the matching shade of KD.
