They DO make them like that anymore !!!

I wanted a quality jacket with classic styling and old fashioned craftsmanship. I receiving that and so much more! Incredibly well made, extremely comfortable, you know, the way they used to make them. The wool lining is like walking around wrapped in your favorite blanket. The shell is soft yet durable, the trim works beautifully. Better than any modern design I have ever run across. Keep up the good work.
Generally Pleased

Generally pleased with my WPG Tanker jacket. After reading other reviews as I’m 6ft, 205lbs with a 36 ins waist I followed the advice to size down and went with a Medium. The fit is OK but would’ve preferred it to be just a little roomier as there’s little space left for it to be worn with anything else than a thin sweater. Others have noted that their jackets weren’t very tapered however mine is almost too much. If my waist was just an inch or size larger the jacket would’ve been too tight as the waist doesn’t appear to be very elasticated. If it wasn’t for the high cost of returning it back to the UAE I may have been tempted to try the Large size.
While the quality is pretty good it ought to be noted that it’s not the most accurate reproduction available. A few obvious points let it down, such as the zip going right to the top of the knitted collar, rather than just half way up being one. The typo error on the label, ‘Stock’ is spelt ‘Stcok’ , being another.
Anyway, bearing all the above in mind it has to be said the WPG Tanker jacket is still good value and probably better than most other tanker jackets of a similar or comparable price.
