Very good product. Fits tall people well.
(2022-12-28)
WPG is the only company to do these. Needed for 1st Para Brigade in Tunisia impression, also for wear at work in the bush.
I’m 6’6”, 42-43” chest and usually require tall sizes in everything so got one on a gamble with some other aertex shirts. It worked out.
I originally ordered all in 46. The other shirts (Aertex desert and post war aertex shirts) were just long enough in 46 with shoulders fitting ok and without being too baggy given they’re field wear not dress shirts - lucky and happy with that.
This new run aertex jacket appears sized differently and in 46 was very baggy and surprisingly far too long. I reordered in a 44 and it fits perfectly. It is ample long enough in the body and arms for my height, shoulders fit fine and the chest is not excessively baggy - again it’s a bush jacket so isn’t meant to fit like a slender dress shirt. Shirt arm placard maybe needs to be an inch longer looking at originals, but I can still roll the sleeves up ok.
Got 2 and very happy to finally have these and that they actually fit so well given my height.

Just got the new, restocked version and it's wonderful! I did order one size up just in case sleeve length might be an issue. After warm wash and dry it fits very well. I could have ordered my regular size in retrospect but I kind of like the loose fit allowing a shirt and light sweater if needed. The lower button is still a tad too low based on pics of originals I have seen and when fastened and seated, it does pull on the button whereas if it was two inches higher it would sit better without stressing the button stitching. Simple enough to unbutton as needed and for me it's no big deal but I mentioned it because of other reviews of earlier versions. IMHO, it's better when Jerry's products aren't "perfect" because they could be easily passed on by others as "originals".

Been eying Aertex fabric garments for a bit and finally pulled the trigger with this purchase. Incredible material, highly competent construction, would have loved in "previous incarnation" in Levant, Maghreb, Equatorial Africa, Arabian Peninsula, SW Asia, South Asia, SE Asia, Latin America. Would purchase JG Jacket and post WW2 Shirts in a heartbeat, but alas, No 48's in stock, pity. Perhaps...

The khaki bush jacket is great quality and the sizing is spot on. Very pleased.
GREAT JACKET!

The materials and construction on this Bush Jacket are top notch! I would have preferred a Size 42 but only larger sizes remain in stock. The 44 actually fit pretty well with a little extra room for breathability.
Must be good, I have 3

Hi, I have 2 green Aertex and one Khaki jacket to wear in pistol competitions. These are cool in summer and don't show stains. I wear size 48L suit coats, and bought a size 50 in these.

Excellent reproduction

Cannot fault this jacket in any way - may I suggest a cloth belt be supplied which will come useful when re-enacting RAF.
GREAT summer shirt

I had a couple of these decades ago, in an Australian version. This is very like and nicely made. Aertex is great stuff, and I wouldn't mind seeing other things (not, I think, in jungle green, though....). This is a good deal, in short.
Excellent jacket,well made!

All i can say is well done Jerry! I like the style and also will be cool for the warm temps of summer.

This jacket is very light weight and well constructed. I had an original British bush jacket from the 1950s and this has the same buttons and material, (material on my new one is even lighter weight than original). Very pleased.

This is a beautiful, light weight jacket that is great for hot weather. The open weave pattern is even better than the original I had from the 1950s! The buttons even look like originals. I intend to wear it with a T-shirt to maximize it's cooling effect and still look good. I think it would be great for concealed handgun carry.
Fantastic!!

This jacket was exactly what was required to complete my display of Canadian soldiers in Italy during WW2. Thank you so much!

Great jacket. And the sizing is right

I ordered the wrong size but the exchange service was great.
I bought this to re-create an "Aden 1965" impression. Whilst this is the WWII pattern it is sufficiently similar for most people not to notice. The main thing with such items is the material and this is identical to the jungle green material I recall from my own service.

I ordered a size up- and it fits perfectly in the chest and shoulders (after washing and drying). It's a bit voluminous in the rest of the body, and the cuffs are a touch long, but nothing a tailor couldn't easily fix. Aside from that, it's well constructed, I love the Aertex weave, and there were no manufacturing defects. Lightning fast speed as usual. Great shirt.

Really comfy & a great fit. Wearing it with my jeans currently to weather it a bit and it even goes with them.
Quite good copy
(2014-03-28)
This is a close copy however the top pockets are wrong, they taper where as they should be straight cut. I have good quality images of my grandfather wearing his if WPG want them for reference . The items arrived quickly and overall I am very happy with WPG

Very nice however the skirt was 2-3" low in the rear compared to the front! The hem heads downhill aft of the side seams. So a pretty simple fix but this should not be necessary. This one could be an anomaly. Inventory should be inspected. Let it hang holding the centerline of the shoulder strap and you'll see this.
Otherwise, the 44 was very Regular in the body but fine in the sleeve length which for me was good because I am a 44L. But this Regular doesn't fit my Long torso as well as his KD jacket. Offering Long sizes in Bush Jackets is a good idea because I think these were all quite long in the body. My original 1943 certainly is. Maybe phase out the Regular? On my 44L torso, where the web belt has to go to clear the lower pocket flaps is quite near the ribs and no matter what the War Department said about why the ribs are important to the P37 system, we don't usually wear the belts that high now do we? On the other hand this is a body shape issue. If you are a 44L you might like his KD jacket fit better. Or get this bush jacket in a 46 and have the body taken in?

Glad I have, but very hard to call it a "Jacket." It is the same material, same thickness, same supports, as the Desert Shirt. think of it as an oversize or baggy shirt. Official terminology is "jacket", but its a shirt cut like a jacket.
