Andrew you're right, but I was refering on test jacket or something similar when ordering for the first time over the internet and especially trim/tailored fitting jackets like A-2'. I think it is easier for someone to order and pay tax. and duties when in States than for me,and I'm 8000 miles way down in central Europe so go figure how long does it take for jacket to arrive from seattle to let's say San Fran,or New York,Florida etc and not once or twice but "several times" if tailoring or repairs are needed. But you're absolutely right Andrew-providing the right and accurate measurements is esential for successful purchase over the internet,especially when buying clothes.

veli1, you are worrying too much ... I wear a thin crewneck t-shirt and a full sleeve shirt underneath my doniger . The jacket fits me comfortably everywhere. I think I can even wear another not-too-thick sweater on top of my shirt and still the A2 will fit fine. If you are thinking of wearing more layers, then it is probably colder weather than what the A-2 was designed for ...
Is the jacket too restricting on your back and shoulders when you wear it? Can you comfortably fold your arms? When you zip the jacket fully, can you swing your arms without any restriction when you walk? Post some photos wearing the jacket (when you are standing as you would normally) with it fully zipped up and arms on your sides relaxed. We'll see how good the fit is ...

Veli, the jacket looks to be the right size, it fits well, and just needs some wearing.
A-2's aren't really for layering, and sometimes are more comfortable to wear over a well fitted shirt. T-shirts, and sweatshirts, although not bulky, can be looser, and cut wider in the sleeves. The A-2 with it's higher cut, narrow sleeves, can bunch up the garment worn under it.

Thanks David, I was thinking the same thing...I don't want to ruin this beautiful jacket with hot water treatment so I will wear it regularly over the next few weeks and i hope this will work out OK...If not than I am selling the jacket, I'm sure there are plenty of customers out there wanting to buy GW Doniger 21539 contract.
