: Hi Patterson,
: Great news! I am ordering a 40 jacket so hopefully, it's going to be as close to the original as possible!!! Woo Hoo!!!
: One question - they mentioned that their jacket that is based on the original is a 40 R. Is that correct? I thought it was a 40 Short. I need to change my order to a 40 R if that's what their closest version to the original will be!
: Thanks for all your efforts. I can't wait to see this DEFINITIVE jacket.
: Kind regards,
: Chris.
My understanding of the cut on the original could ahve made it a short. It all depends on how the jacket is intended to fit that makes it a long, regular or short.
A suggestion? Just give them the measurements of either yourself or the manequin, and they'll cut it to fit. The chance that you have a manequin that has Ford's proportions is about 1:1,000,000. I think about the only person who would have one would be his wardrobe person - hey MK, would I be correct?
Oh, well - cheers!
