True that. I'm mostly thinking back to when I first bought an A-2. The '30s/'40s fit is not one that seems natural to most people nowadays, and Andy almost had to persuade me that I should go for a 42. Then, when I got it, I thought it was too short, and I had to have both Andy and friends in the VLJ community reassure me that it was a good fit.
Man, looking back, I was stubborn!
Sorry can you explain to me what you mean? About the difference in expectations between what I might think it should fit like and what it should really fit like?
