The collar is smaller than on the 16160- the Perry has around a 2 1/2" collar width and the Aero 16160 more like 3+". (This gleaned from the GW 16160 I had and the Perry I have now...)C.J. said:The collar there looks pretty good. The collar has been my only hang up between the Perry and the 16160.

It's an optical illusion- the GW's sleeve is the same dimension as the original. If you saw this jacket (I have the Perry on the GW site) you'd see it's scary how close it is! Your original is beautiful!From the photos of bseal's repro Perry and the originals I've seen the GW sleeves appear to be cut too wide. Attached is a photo of my sz. 42 Perry (also take a look at John wearing the original). Maybe it's just because the GW jacket is lying flat?
