I agree with what you guys are saying, because Ford's jacket was tailor-made for him, so I don't expect a 100% match on the Flight Suits jacket. But, as a point of reference, I have an Avirex A-2 jacket that is an off-the-shelf 38 Regular. It fits me *perfectly* (Well, except when I raise my arms - no gussets or pleats on A-2s). The chest and sleeve lengths are fine, and the bottom of the jacket is just right below the belt line, just like the Ford picture I told you about. So based on my experience, I was expecting the off-the-shelf FS Indy jacket to fit in a similar fashion.
Over the holidays I'm going to take some pictures of me wearing the jacket to show you what I'm talking about....
