Measurements seem weird.
Why the differences between "chest (coat)" and "US size reg"??
Long sleeves and body length for the respective chest sizes for an A1.
I'd need an extra small size to fit my arms/body (even then, the arms would be a bit too long), but what looks like an XL for my chest.

The difference is that the jacket will have an actual chest measurement that is
4 inches larger than the tagged size.

The size 40 jacket for example will have an actual chest measurement of 44 inches.
This is the normal amount of movement room for a military fit.

I do agree that most people would need to go the custom route. I would want the 3XL
chest measurement, with the size 40 sleeves, and the size 42 body!!

I must be some sort of mutant or something....

But it is nice to have the actual measurements available to see and compare. Most
people just put down the overal size (40, 42, 44 ext) and don't show what the
actual garment measurements are.

Giving the actual measurements really helps you to be able to compare this to a
jacket you already own, and you can zero in on a better fit before you buy it.
