You'll be waiting awhile. This is one of those repros that, like originals, only turn up in smaller sizes. Sometimes they get smaller even after you buy them - I myself own a 44 but I've outgrown it! :cry:prostaff4ever said:I first bought the Sz 38 based upon the measurements, but when that was too small I took the first opportunity that came along to buy this Sz 40. But as I had mentioned in one of my earlier threads somewhere on VLJ (possibly to you), the Sz 40 is also a bit tight in the shoulders, so now I'm waiting for a Sz 42 to come along.
People want everything...The only thing that bugs me about this ELC repro is that the pocket flap top stitch is too close to the edges, unlike Werber's trademark pocket flaps. The thing that blows me away is that on Eastman's site, it shows an original 1933 Werber right next to their repro and you can clearly see that this detail is off between the original and their copy.
