Issue with sizing so I had to exchange but my OL bomber finally came in today. At 5' 10", 165-170lbs, I am quite happy with it (size from thecorner.com 38 = 48 = M)

I ended up buying the red silk shirt. I've just washed it and it's gone stiff like you said after drip drying. I'm wearing it over a tee right now after it's been dry enough to wear to exercise the fabric which is helping a bit, will it eventually return to its original softness and drape? It's also gotten slightly itchy inside the arms which it wasn't before.

^^ yea, it gets softer by just hanging in the closet actually. I cant compare really with its original softness, but it feels soft and good as it is.

Has anybody got the black denim 50's shirt (think it was SS, maybe last FW).
Just picked it up for $75 from The Classroom which I thought was pretty good, but Ive never tried any of the 50's shirts, are they a pretty regular fit?

Great shirt

Jacket looks real good, I'm really interested now. I'm 6'2" and 160, real skinny. Do you think a medium or a large, I don't want it to be too cropped.

Also wondering about sizing on that OL - do you have pretty long arms or are the arms on the jacket not so long? Doesn't seem to be a lot of stacking and at 5'9 160 lbs I feel bombers in a size 48 usually stack a lot, while small is a bit too tight.

I'm close to your height and weight at 6'1" 165. I ordered a large in this jacket yesterday from the corner. I've tried on a sweatshirt from this season in a medium and it was too small so I figured I would be a large. I'll let you know how it fits once I receive it. It looks like BeraQueezy nailed his sizing.
