Does anyone own an SM Wholesale Channel Jacket? What I want to know is how the sizing works? I'm a 40 chest in a tunic so should I go for a 40 or 42 chest channel jacket? Anyone with experience of the sizing of the SMW jackets, please comment!

Hi Obergefreiter Hansch

As you say order a 42 " jacket for a 40" chest in other words add 2" to your chest size :wink: , these are stunning jackets , the white jacket is an unlined body with half lined sleaves like a Falschirmjager smock with a superb woven collar and lower portion , the Blue version is a cotton Rayon mix , completely lined , cannot recommend these enough .

I am the guy in the white jacket , you can see the fit is loose but not baggy , my Blue version fits just as well and both jackets were a 46" chest , I am a 44 . I brought both off of Steve ( SM Wholesale ) on e-bay , the service to the UK was 3 days !!!, :shock:

Good luck and enjoy
