Updates from Gizemo

Shanghai,

For a B-10 the zipper box is wrong... That may be corrected with the proper Talon repro.

Thank you Dany, if they use other zip, I bet the price gonna rise, let’s see what they gonna say later.

Actually that box could pass for a Conmar, so fitting an original Conmar slider could get a nerd for details like me almost satisfied...

Gizemo’s manager said, if no big issue happens, B10 gonna release in next 20 days.

translation of size chart ,from left to right :
Size/ Chest / Shoulder Width / Back Length / Sleeves Length ( without knit)

Basically, it’s close to Bronson’s size chart, but with 2 inches longer on back length.

asically, it’s close to Bronson’s size chart, but with 2 inches longer on back length.

I personally found the Bronson jackets just a bit longer compared to the originals.

I don’t know. Maybe after wash and shrink. The original get shorter?

 

[Dany McDonald]

Personally, I wish they would push forward with a full reproduction and copy the sizing/cut of the original they seem to have from an earlier image Shanghai posted.

I don't think they will go for a correct label either...

That doesn't mean the jacket is bad, quite the contrary, alpaca, cloth, collar and overall color looks amazing.

Could be. Though at the time the pilots (as well as the average person) were quite shorter than today and most of the flight jackets I know had a back length of 24-24,5 inch. Again I might be wrong.

Dany, it looks like they don’t do replica of specific contract , on their mass production items.
But just like you said, consider what they offered:
full alpaca liner ( 79% alpaca, 21% poly for backing material);
and superior quality outshell ( it’s a kind of much expensive, higher quality sateen fabric).
There is no reason to blame them.

Could be. Though at the time the pilots (as well as the average person) were quite shorter than today and most of the flight jackets I know had a back length of 24-24,5 inch. Again I might be wrong.

And it is possible, during war time, they could add extra inch of length on flight pants , in case pilot and crew members need to sit or squat in an oddly position. So the jacket won’t too short to expose their back to hash environment.

Some new pics.

I agree 100%
The added length, for me, is sadly a dealbreaker. Being not that tall (5 ft 9 in or 175 cm) and with a kind off short torso, I was hoping in a more faithful reproduction of the boxy WW2 fit.
