If anybody needs measurements on the F2s feel free to ask, I got a small one (88CM) regular lenght. Keep in mind that, like with most military coats the armholes and sleeves are cut way big, I like that as it makes it obvious it's more rugged and less "designery" but you might not.

What is the measurement from shoulder to shoulders?

My French F2 jacket just arrived today from RDD, it fit better then I could of thought and looks cooler in person. Plus it has that authenticate look (and smell) to it, it's a steal for $10.

[Edit: Also the Alice pack is way ******* cool looking in person too. I'm a geek for military gear though]

Thinner than I thought it'd be, it's a good thickness. It's not burlap sack thick like the M65 jacket is, it's cotton, feels similar to cargo pants, except a pretty thick pair of cargo pants.

Any pics of you wearing it? The picture on the site is kinda dismal.

They have this at Zara too (not just Macy's?)? If so then I guess I should check out Zara some time.

How does the arms fit? Like when you lift up your arms, does the sleeves hug you or are they fat looking? Pictures appreciated
