congratulations Brett
AVI Leather D-1 size Medium
Received this earlier today, just in time for Xmas!! This is one hellofajacket!
Oozes quality and fits perfectly. This is so comfortable and easy to wear.
I have a T-shirt under, it's around 5 to 6 degrees out and Im fine. Consider my sheepskin curiosity satiated! I need no other!
Will do a review in due course.

Funny you should ask.Perfect fit Brett. Any adjustments made to the sleeve length?
I know there's no historical accuracy with Avi's B-3A, but something keeps drawing me back to it...as does their M-445A. Someone tell Mortene that I'll gladly review one or both for him...lol.
Your calculations definitely paid off. You couldn't improve on that fit.Funny you should ask.
After the B-6, I spent too much time trying to work out dims and measurements, comparing the B-6 to D-1.
In the end, went with a Medium, and requested an extra 1cm to sleeves and body.
Result = perfect fit, even lifting arms or sitting. I think a regular Medium would have worked just as well, but that little extra makes a diff to me.
