excellent delivery time very pleased with jacket thanks again Paul.

Iam a 42, but due to others saying this item runs large, I ordered the size 40. The actual measurements quoted for the size 42 seemed VERY large, and even the size 40 I ordered needs taking in, albeit only slightly.

The tailors I am using in Norwich actually worked on origonal garments belonging to the guys in the 8th Airforce. The 80 year old seamstress who is now retired, but had popped in for a visit felt sure they still had some 8th air force arm patches on the premises, somewhere!

All [3] remarked on the nice quality of this garment. The sleeves only needed taking up by a few millimeters, but there was some damage in transit which they will try and repair [the fit was so nice I didn't want to return it].

Other than that small dissapointment I'm really happy with the item and rapid [as ever] delivery.

The buttons were attatched, and the button holes were in place [various other posts confused me on this issue]. The sleeves are very loosely tacked for alteration.

Shame about the flimsy packaging, and the fact the tunic will need pressing, but I guess thats down to logistics.

Comparing this reproduction side by side with an original, you can definitely see the attention to detail and craftsmanship that went into making it. I will be switching out the buttons for a nicer set and having it tailored to fit. Other than that, this tunic is ready to go. As always, lightning fast shipping too.

I ordered the socks together with a pair of shoes, a shirt and a US Army Officer 4-Pocket Class A Dress Tunic. Unfortunately the tunic was too large. I've send it back for an exchange. I expect there will be no problem. The other 3 items really are what I was looking for.
I'll participate next july as a reennactor at the Duxford Flying Legends show and I'm sure I will look great in these items.
Thx

These WPG service coats are the best available today. The ones I've ordered both compare favorably with my friend's original WWII vintage officer's service coats. The wool elastique is faithfully reproduced, and the cut is accurate. That being said, these coats require tailoring - just like the originals! WWII officer's jackets were tailored, unlike the Sad Sack issue garments which were mass produced in "standard" sizes. I had my officer's chocolate service coats fitted by a local tailor. I also had the tailor add "theater made" bullion insignia and WWII vintage "36 line" officer's buttons, and these jackets could pass for originals! So, if you order one, please plan to have it fitted. This is not a defect with the design, it's simply how it was done. Thanks again Jerry for another great product. Keep up the good work. I love your stuff!

Incredible repro of dress tunic

I ordered the four-pocket service coat and am VERY pleased with it. As I did when active air Force, I bought the coat a size larger than I wear to allow for tailoring. The sleeves didn't need much take-up, but the body did require some taking in. No problem, that just makes it look better. The only downside was that the belt ran from left to right, rather than the proper right to left. Also not a major issue, as a good tailor can reverse that. Delivery was WPG's usual faster-than-light (I ordered on a Saturday and had it on Tuesday), and was very impressed with the coat right out of the package. This four-pocket will have the proper VIII Bomber Command insignia placed on it, as well as Hershey Bars to represent eighteen months overseas service. The military tailor I took it to was very pleased to be working on it, as her husband is a WWII historian. An active duty lieutenant who was getting his modern blues tailored commented on how nice this coat looks and said "I wish we wore those still instead of the McPeak blues." When the active military likes how good a reproduction is, you KNOW it's good.

The tunic is impressive. Well constructed and very authentic. I still can't get over the fast shipping! Sizing does run a bit big - but the originals were tailored...and so will this one! An authentic experience!

Bess - US

I'm a bit fussy when it comes to authenticity - but I truly feel that you will not find a better ready made tunic. It may well need fine tuning but it is a garment which has been well made - though a bit large (I'm a 38" and the 42" tunic drowns me). This should not in any way put you off of buying this excellent reproduction which arrived here in the UK just a few days after ordering.
Please WPG make some smaller sizes!

Land - GB

Arrived quickly. Needed more professional tailoring work than expected. Satisfied with quality and fit.

Bracali - US

Very prompt delivery. I have several WWII originals to compare. Color is excellent and cavalry twill weave is spot on. I will replace buttons with Sta-Brites or regulation metal. Epulates a bit thick.

Ridosh - US

Fantastic,greatjacket and delivered faster than a lot of stuff I get in England. I was surprised to find that the buttons were already attached but thats all the better. I also have the WPG Officers Ike jacket which is as though I had had it tailor made for me.Great Stuff WPG keep it up!

Excellent quality tunic though sizes seem to run pretty big!

Mulgrew - US

Good fit. Materials is excellent. But maybe WPG could install the 9 button holes.

Stewart - US

As always WPG delivers great gear fest. This is the fourth tunic I have bought from WPG and is the best on the market. I'll be ordering more equipment as needed from WPG ,,, they are the best!

Hake - US

had to have the breast pockets lowered. everything else ok

Anderson - US

Outstanding replica! Attention to detail and construction quality is top notch. Material used is identical to og. Fit and sizing is accurate. I can't say enough good things about this tunic. My father, a WW2 Veteran, thought it was genuine unissued stock. Beat that! One minor issue, buttons were missing from my order.
Thanks to the WPG team for a great product.

Lussier - US

First of all, great service from WPG. You guys went overboard insuring that the order was right. Jacket fits perfectly, will not even have to alter the sleeves. It looks great and I'm looking forward to using for a number of events in the future. Many thanks!
