The UK Belted Bush Jacket is excellent. It is well made and looks great. I am 5’10.5” and ~180 lbs and initially ordered a 42 thinking it might be best to size up, but the size 42 was too big; the size 40 (my normal) ended up fitting perfectly. Great jacket and value.

I love the long sleeve British bush jacket this would be my third one my first became really thread bare after about 5 years of heavy wear , my second is two years in and is not worn out at all I bought a third just to have at the ready

Transaction parfaite. Merci

LOVE THE JACKET!! Fits like a glove. My only complaint is I'm not a fan of the premade holes in the waistbelt. On the older versions WPG used to sell the waistbelts were sliders, not metal prongs with sewn holes.

The 44L and 42L were the same size so I had to send back. The 40L was just right.

Great fit and quality!

KD Bush jacket, arrived in less than a week. Great material, nice fit. Ordered a 38 chest size, fits perfectly, my only problem is the belt which is 2 times longer than needed for me. So need to tailor it, other than that I can't complain 🙂

With a little tailoring and some RAF insignia, this jacket is a killer!

I'm 6' 2" and 220lbs. The 46L was way too baggy in the mid section for me. Sent it back and now have the 44L. Better fit and a nice overall jacket.

The is the second one that I have ordered from WPG. The first was about 10 years ago and while it lasted over the years, this version is definitely an improvement. Heavier weight cotton drill it is very well made. I guess I have lost weight since then because I ordered the same size as before (46 long) and I am swimming in it in the mid section. Not too bad as I can synch it with the belt, however, do take note this latest run is very generous in sizing.

Jacket is well constructed and fits well as per the ordering directions. Can't be beat for the price and as always super fast delivery.

In channeling my best Colonel Nicholson, I decided to go with WPG's bush jacket, given the quality items I've received from them in the past. I am average build and wear 42R. I opted to follow WPG's advice and size up to a 44R. When the jacket arrived, it seemed really big and I almost returned it. But the shoulders seemed to be good so I laundered the jacket in a warm wash and medium tumble dry. The jacket shrank quite a bit and down to a near perfect fit. The jacket is made of a heavy cotton twill. It is darker than the photo on the website, but it is of quality construction and with quite a bit of detail. The buckle is a flimsy stamped metal, but it is buttoned in and easily replaced. I didn't bother since I have a leather Sam Browne belt that will replace the cloth belt that comes with the jacket. All in all, a quality jacket and a tremendous value. Just be sure to get the right size and remember it will shrink a good amount.

In channeling my best Col. Nicholson, I picked up this bush jacket since I've always found WPG's items to be well made. I am of average build and wear a 42R. I followed WPG's recommendation to size up and went with a 44R. The jacket is made of a heavy weight cotton twill fabric. The coat is well constructed with excellent details. The belt buckle is thin stamped metal and the only real negative. But it is buttoned in and easily replaced. I am using a leather Sam Browne belt, so I did not even bother with it. The 44R was really big on me and I thought about returning it. But the shoulders seemed good so I washed the jacket in warm water followed by a medium tumble dry. The jacket shrank down to a near perfect fit. All in all, an excellent jacket and a tremendous value. Just be aware of the right size for you.

I received my bush jacket with the usual speedy delivery by WPG. After a quick wash, I can tell that it's going to break-in nicely and be very comfortable. One quibble--the belt-retaining loops seem a bit too low, and the snaps on the belt don't stay snapped (not a big concern, as I don't plan on using the belt).

Dunn - US

Very glad with this jacket,but really strange dimensions... Shoulder's fitting ok,but the belly size is 5 or 6 more sizes! I had to cut and sew.

Montana - ES

Sizing was perfect and accurate. Overall quality exceptional and how can you ship from UAE to Colorado so fast?

This current Bush Jacket product line is improved over the older one. The weight of the Khaki material is heavier, better chest diameter fit, longer sleeves and skirt length. Also the belt buckle is metaled silver and not plastic. I am extremely happy with this improved product run.

Bought to add to my ever growing collection of safari type clothes. This is probably the best of the safari-type jackets I own, and those two aren't slouches in quality either. One being an ancient khaki Banana Republic jacket, and a discontinued Cabela's Hemingway-style jacket. However, those two are in a much lighter, almost shirt-like twill weave; the WPG Bush Jacket is made out of a sturdier khaki drill.

Being the historical predecessor for the modern safari jacket, however, there are some features that differ on the garment. Instead of a bi-swing back, the jacket has a center gusseted back pleat, and additionally, it has a rear split vent instead of side-vents on the hem (both of which I think look better). The skirt hem is also longer at 1 3/4 in material overlap, instead of the usual 1 in. The lower pockets are bellowed just like modern safari jackets, but they do not have the side slit handwarmer pockets. It also has 2 placket buttons less than safari jackets, one at the collar and one at the very bottom. And the two chest pockets each have two press-studs at the scalloped corners to hold them down (which I removed).

These are not negatives, only differences.

Like other reviews say, the buckle that comes buttoned-in with the belt is...well. It's usable, if you don't have any other option. But I personally would replace the brown plastic buckle with a nice brass one from BuckleGuy. Because the others haven't mentioned it—you'll want a buckle with a 1 3/4 inch width. You can use a slightly larger 2 inch buckle if you have one on hand, but a 1 3/4 inch buckle will fit better. I got a brass double-loop square, and it looks far better than the brown plastic buckle.

Shadow - US

Perfect fit (42L); very satisfied.

Piston - US

beautiful items, great value and quality!

Bailey - US

I've bought another one to replace the one I bought over ten years ago. I wear it all the time throughout the summer, not just for re-enactment events. This one is pretty well perfect, of course - my only hesitation is that compared to originals, the chest posckets are slightly too high. Otherwise. spot-on.

Nigel - British in France

Recommend one size up for loose fit and your size for tight fit. Have ordered two for me and one more for my friend.

Fredrik - SE

High quality garment. Very fast delivery.

O'Neal - US

I wear M size shirts so I went for 38 size jacket. First it was bit too large, but after washing it on 90°C it shrinked and now fit is perfect. I love the fit of this jacket.
I am really satisfiend

Patrik F - CZ

As in the description. Handling of my case was excellent. Bought jacket is in superb condition. Currently best alternative for original.

Komorek - PL

Bought RAF / Army style bush jacket in a 50-L.

Perfect fit. Well made and detailed. Can't wait to put some staybrite regimental buttons and my crowns and pips on the epaulettes!

Very nice shirt / jacket for florida tropical weather.

Manning - US

I initially contacted WPG to check sizes as I’m about a 43” chest. From the measurement given, the 42 would have been snug, so I went for a 44” long. It was huge. Even the arms were too wide as it seemed everything was scaled up. Had it changed for a 42” and this fits really well, though larger than initially specified, making it a good fit. Wish I’d gone for this one first and saved the return postage.
Now it’s here, it seems all ok, looking strong etc. Will need a couple of washes to loose the new look and wearing in the sun. As with other posts, comes with a plastic buckle, but this is buttoned in, so should come out easily enough.
Happy with item, but check your sizes.

Minney - UK

Everything about this jacket is fantastic. The weight, cut, details. It really is an exceptional jacket at this price. Great job, WPG!

Schrock - US

I like the quality i would buy more of the uniforms ands some the gear to for season for the weather purpose and i also like the fast shipping.

Jerick - US

Excellent quality, darker than pictured, even has little snaps on the upper pocket flaps to keep them laying flat, ordered 1 size up and washed it like normal which shrank it a little bit for a perfect fit.

I have been looking for a quality bush jacket for years. This item is well made and worthy of being called "military issue."

Thank you.

Well made. Seems to be the original pattern. Seams are solid and the material is first rate. I ordered a 40, normally wear a size 38-40. It did shrink some after washing. I would get a 42 if I was doing it over.
