Great quality, and a great price. Husband is 6' 3" and usually takes a 44" chest. He can comfortably wear this 42" size - cinched slightly, with room for a T-shirt and shirt underneath. If you're looking to wear a jumper, best go for a size up. Husband was more concerned with getting the longer length (the 44" chest was out of stock in the longer size). Although sold as 'distressed' the jacket was, effectively, Grade 1. A few professionally-repaired tears to one arm. Other than that, just needed to sew up some fraying edges (internal; not visible) on the waist pockets. For the money, can't go wrong - good, heavyweight jacket to keep out the wind and light drizzle (he's since given it the Nikwax treatment for added water repellency).

Unfortunately the jacket sent is not 96/100. I can appreciate that the label is missing but the measurements and comparison to other Austrian army jackets I have make this more like 88/92 and therefore too small. Disappointing as the wear, being from distressed range, is acceptable, however I cannot return it due to the terms and conditions for items from this range.
