been looking for the olive or black in a size 3 for a minute as well so it’s good to hear the beige is on the green side. Now I just need to find one for a fair price.

tbf it depends on the lighting. I’d still prefer the Olive if I ever found it tbh. But in day light/ outside the beige looks more light olive for sure. In photos and artificial lighting comes up more sand/ beige-y I would say.

it looks more like this:

rather than this:

Is there a two way zipper anywhere on this piece?

Paratrooper jacket is super cool. I also got scammed on the fake one on YJP and got my money back from PayPal. How does it fit? Is it huge like the six-five?

smaller that I thought it would be. A black sold that I missed out on the other week in a 3 but once this one came I didn’t mind as I feel a 3 would have been too small particularly for layering on me. Definitely smaller than a six- five. Both below are a 4. Sleeves a little too long on the paratrooper but otherwise fit is just how I wanted it

Go TTS on the Byron, it's cut really short so sizing down in any way will look odd.

The black Airman looks great there. I loved the Byron but was impossible to find for a decent price. What sizing do you go for on both?
I agree with what norigim said. I went with my visvim TTS for the byron and it fits perfectly. The airman fits the same. And yeah sometimes I look at the airman and im like wow that tweed is beautiful. I preferred the other colors, but im also really happy that I was able to get it at all. Looking to get the lumber in tweed one day.

Yeah I got a 3 in the Airman and my Harvey and Varsity are 4s. The sleeves are fine on the Airman but it is a tad short but it was the same in being lucky to get it at all and I got a great price. I'm going to keep hold of it and if I see a brown 4 come up I may get that and flip it. The black does look great though. I just wanted the salmon lined ones tbh. That was the hook for me!

Not sure where you’re located but FYI there’s a fake on eBay in size 3 here in UK. Got me excited for a second when I saw it then saw the tag
