Safari Bush Jacket

[Tintin]

Size 2XL

Only tried on - never worn or washed.

It was just a little tight for my fat guts with a 5.11 shirt underneath. I have since bought a 3XL.

For reference I wear a size L 5.11 Tactical shirt and XL TAG Jacket.

These have elasticised sections on each side (as can be seen from the picture).

I carefully cut the stiching on one end of the elastic to loosen the fit around the belly a bit.

This would be very easily reversed if desired, for a 'less portly gentleman'.

Unfortunately these are not being made any more - and they only have very limited size remaining.

These are an excellent jacket, great colour, much heavier weight than a shirt (such as the TAG jacket - which I also like, but is much lighter.

Photo is for colour reference, comparing the jacket with a TAG (Olive colour) and a 5.11 Tactical shirt TDU Green colour). The jacket is a little more green than it looks in the picture.

I have had a couple of sales to USA based members on here.

US$115 posted to USA.

A bump on this one.

I've tried these, they are awesome quality. Very heavy duty. I just did not care much for the waistband. Your solution is perhaps the smartest.

Thanks @VertigoBE - yes, the elasticized would have looked good on me in my 20s or 30s

Looks cool. I wish I had enough class to wear it…

How big is 2X in Oz? In the states, it means 48-50" around the chest.

I've just measured it.

Laid flat, armpit to armpit = 25.2", so just over 50" around chest.

Cool jacket, if this is still available I will take it.

@Jeff505 - all yours

@NIGHTHAWK - I'm sure such a jacket would make you even more dapper

Well done Jeff, very stylish and practical. I wear mine a lot.

I plan on taking it to Namibia in 2025 as @Doug3006 pursues a leopard, I may also wear my pith helmet that was bestowed upon me by @Kevin Peacocke , until then may try and convince my wife to play “safari” as I now have all the right stuff.
