Every Thurston Bros custom jacket order includes the use of a fit jacket and a professional fit consultation.  Fit consultation includes chest circumference evaluation as well as shoulder width and waist circumference recommendations.  Additionally, the fit jacket is used to determine custom body and sleeve lengths.  All fit recommendations are based on using the fit jacket as a measuring tool for the custom build.  Please keep in mind that three customers with the same body measurements will choose three different sizes in the same style (one chooses a tight fit, another prefers a regular fit and the third wants a roomier fit).  The fit jacket consultation makes it easy for each customer to get the fit and lengths they desire!

 

This is Aero's precise replication of the original 1936 Type C-3 Vest. Although lesser known than most USAAF shearling Flight clothing, the Type C-3 was a very popular optional garment, perfect to wear under a Type A-2 or one of the lighter weight shearling Flight Jackets such as the Type D-1 or Type B-6.

Like the original issue garment, Aero's Type C-3 is made from short fleece lamb shearling, the seams are overbound in leather and the vest closes with a period style Talon zipper.
