What jacket(s) are you wearing at the moment?

The last 4 photo’s the color looks great, first 2 look a bit different, maybe to much exposure….

First two photos were taken with photography lighting and are a pretty accurate representation of what you'd be getting. The outdoor photos in the shade make the color appear much more muted than it actually is. IMO, I would go with a Headwind Bronco if you are specifically wanting something in russet within that price bracket.

Are AVI not reliable in size? I've been looking at their Irvin and was thinking of picking one up but I'm bothered by the sizing.

I think before ordering you must give them (Morten) an email with your measurements of your body just to make sure.. but if you order a stock jacket, you can always return it… but better inform them first.

I'll ping them a message. I just don't know anyone who's actually bought one and can give a valid opinion, is all.

Love that Russett color John..

Thanks! IRL it looks really close to the color of the first example of the 16160 in the new A-2 Guide, though always hard to tell with photo evidence.
