Hi,
the link to AERO's website in another thread showed the following picture:
Seeing the jacket zipped up and with buttoned downed collar reminded me of my own AERO RD. It shows the same kind of curvy windflap in the throat area, which makes it uncomfortable to wear the jacket with the collar buttoned...It can't be a problem with the collar stand as this phenomenon comes up on ´40 and ´42 jackets with different collar constructions. The curve only occurs when the jacket is buttoned, just as if the position of the buttons restricts the zipping of the jacket. ...Or is the windflap a little bit too long?
Is this a typical pattern feature for the AERO contracts (the picture showing a 1940 contract while I have the later 15142 RD) or some kind of repro fault?
