Last year i borrowed an original size 6 from a friend. ams and legs a bit (2") short. I ordered a size 8 (me being 2 meters and approx 105kg) The suit is made very wel. including a hood. Great materials used. I will compare it to an original with photos (picasa album i will share) The fabric is not as thick as the original (by first feel) but the manouverebility is greater. Inside lining is great looks like the original wool but not as itchy . 11 pockets (incl 1 behind the 4 button jacket like lining) Good feel of the fabric. Extreme warm with just a t-shirt and shirt wearing denim trousers. Inside suspenders are a little short. Thinking they would go from behind over the shoulder to the fasteners in front. This will not fit for me (leaving these hanging down) Adding 25 - 30 cm to the 'straps' would fix it (+ compensation for a big belly )Zipp for the quick pee 2 stop button for leg and arm adjusment 2 strap collar Will post some pics wearing it tomorrow. Now for me to make a CM hood number on the jeep and 12th field markings. (anyone??) Trailer will also get it's correct CX markings and tandem hitch back after restauration.
