Shooting Jacket Sizes.

Zooma,

I'd say you're quite right to maintain a constant thickness of underclothing. Personally I think technical fabrics are better than cotton, warmer in the winter, and cooler in the summer. Cotton tends to get damp and claggy in the heat.

I shoot on an uninsulated and unheated range; wool long johns make a big difference in the winter.

There is one advantage for tailored sleeves in 10m air, a pointier left elbow should dig into your side better than a loose sleeve.

Would that be "technical wool" in your long johns Tim

A pointy left elbow sounds like a good idea - but not as good as a cunningly placed Velcro patch

No, not merino, too dear for me. Just Mountain Warehouse's ordinary wool.

Hmm, not sure velcro is legal if you're shooting to NSRA rules. Textured material (suede, Top-Grip rubber) is OK, but glue or spikes (thinking prone there), aren't allowed.
