CBI: Love the B-3--you called it the "house" model, which specific model is it? You said it was off the rack sizing--what size is it and how tall are you? Great score and glad to hear Shawn & crew took good care of you.
Sorry for late comment. It certainly looks like a righteous early 55J14/7238. The pocket flaps have the more pointed shape and the single-ply waistband features the distinctive "rib-rack" knitting pattern. JC claims that the wider section of rib-rack pattern in relation to the straight weave...
It needn't be this complicated. I have offered to give you $100 to have the tear repaired. It will then be your choice whether to have it repaired or sell it on. If you accept, I will post the PayPal payment now (so you needn't "trust" me). If you would still rather return it, that's fine, too...
Sorry, no. When I have the jacket in hand, I'll promptly post $900 to your PayPal acct. You had to pay for the jacket before I shipped it (as is customary), and I shipped it the day your payment was received and then followed up with an email providing early tracking info.
Actually, we had four lengthy message and email exchanges after you said you found the damage to the pocket--I can post them if you like. You did not ask to return the jacket, nor did you request compensation of any sort. As I've said, I reviewed my artifact files and sent you photos of a period...
IF there was a tear at the corner of the pocket, I overlooked it.
I have tried to outline the situation up-thread, so there's not much point in restating the details. I can only say that I was honestly unaware of the damage Carlos840 describes, and as he himself stated, "if i don't pull on the...
Carlos840 said: "Even now if i don't pull on the pocket the leather lays perfectly flat and hides the damage 100%, it is invisible untill you put your hand in the pocket or try to lift that corner." Hmmm.
If the jacket had any damage, I honestly did not notice it. In the few times I wore the...
I am sorry Carlos840 is not pleased with his purchase. I have been collecting/wearing and buying/selling vintage clothing for some four decades now, and I have no intention of cheating anyone.
Oddly, a bunch of comments in this thread seem to have disappeared. Some may recall that when he...
dlite90, what model did you order? I'd be interested in taking it off your hands if the actual measurements work for me. Please email info. to me at Aden [at] LittleFireEditorial.com. Cheers
Hey, just call me Maxwell Smart ("Missed it by that much!"). If the new owner finds it doesn't work out for him for whatever reason, please do message me, I'd love to give it a try. Perhaps it can become the TFL fruitcake... ;)
Lost Worlds J.A. Dubow B-3 tagged size 40 in superb condition (only worn a few times) full details (and Stu's marketing hype) available here: http://www.lostworldsinc.com/B-3_Sheepskin_Flight_Jacket.htm). This jacket is a real tank. It has a very nice knobbly, dense cream shearling and the shell...
