Slangvel size 44 - Great quality, color, and construction.
(2022-04-05)
Very pleased with the quality and the color of this Slangvel. I don't have an original Slangvel to compare it to, but the color matches exactly new unissued original nutria brown SADF clothing I have in my collection. Construction is very good, zipper is good quality YKK, and the snaps are sturdy. Fabric is also the same. I'm 6'1" x 210 lbs, athletic build and bought a 44 size since that's what my chest measures and it's spot on for a paratrooper jacket which is supposed to fit a bit comfy on you. I was tempted to go for a 42 for a tighter fit but it would have been a bit tight on the shoulders, restricting movement, especially if wearing more than vest and shirt underneath. Actual measurements of size 44 are 24" from pit to pit across the front; 19" shoulder to shoulder across the back; 27.5" outer sleeve. It did not shrink noticeably after washing it.
