Years ago, when Cockpit still had a storefront, I purchased this exact jack in a size medium which is just a little to tight. Since those days, I am more comfortable in a size large so ordered one. It was smaller than my medium. If I went to XL, the sleeves would be too long. I'll have to continue my search for a G-1 of another brand that might be more true to size.

Reply from Ace Jackets: Thank you for your feedback. The Avenger was added to the Cockpit lineup in 2014, so it could not have been the same jacket from years ago. This jacket is a washed and distressed vegetable tanned goatskin, which has a modern fashion (trim) fit, unlike the jackets made years ago.

This jacket is as described - trim fit, good quality. I purchased one size up (L) as recommended and it fits like a well worn glove. If vintage style is your style, definitely consider this jacket. A word of caution to all about anything “military trim fit” - if you are a lean 25 year old it will likely fit true to size. If you are a retired 40-50+ and haven’t run a PRT recently you will need one or possibly two sizes up to get around your round. Have fun and enjoy.
