Title: TPU Jacket question
Post by: O-Rex on October 16, 2007, 12:35:40 AM
I'm getting a TPU jacket: the collection just wouldn't be complete without it.

So, has anyone ordered one?  If so, do they run large? Small?

The black army jacket, or the leather jacket?

I think the army jackets are cheaper through AAFES, btw.

If you're getting the blue double-breasted jacket, the sizes appear to run as advertised.  I have a 52-Regular that fits just like any other suit I have of that size.

Hope that helps.

Thanks, Jack.

I hate buying clothes through mail order, but double-breasted TPU's are not something you find at SYMS, Marshall's or even AAFES

Just make sure you get everything that has to go with it. It's horrible to order the TPU jacket, then have to place another order, and wait a decade for the braid and brushed name plate.

Yes they are.  And they are biswing now.  That means more upper back and arm movement baby!  Thinking about ditching my 2003 version for the new version.  I love spending money on Uniform junk, plus it does come with a removable lining.  Those linings are always a plus.  It is like getting two jackets in ONE.  I do like the casual feel to the windbreaker.......can you tell I am in love with mine??
