    I work for a US Co. selling defence/navigational/aeronautical equipment , Asia is our biggest market. Hope it stays this way.

    Another Asian Repro Co

    Maybe, however, it did not help much ( except to fill-up the lawyers and justice systems bank accounts), since plenty of other new players in Asia and a few other countries dont see it that way, according to many articles in the specialized medias.

    Another Asian Repro Co

    Fully agree with you. With almost 16 months delivery time and a pricing 3x the Korean repro, JC will just smile at all this. Just for my private curiosity is the Good Ware name registered? Thanks and greetings from Paris en route to Incheon/Seoul-Korea

    Another Asian Repro Co

    IMHO 1) is the brand Good Wear Leather registered? 2) if so, it will need John a lot of legal investments in Korean lawyers and its justice system to enforce his claim and furthermore to prove and document that, he John and his original GW co. suffered losses or any other harm. Maybe the Korean...

    Help ID Bundeswehr? Jacket

    Beckumer Lederwerke is an official BUND supplier... The sorry ( not even) lookalike starting all this is just a fashion model made in China or any other cheapy place, surely nice looking for a Disco ride, but nothing for the issued clothing of the actual Luftwaffe.

    FS: B-2 by "THE FEW" SIZE 46

    Wow, excellent price if you consider what the B-2 jackets cost in Japan http://www.c-king.jp/fewhome/fewhome.html Approx. 1700 US$ plus duties... Good price.. Good luck.

    Wanted RMNZ ANJ-4 Size 44

    Thx a lot...even though THE FEW bi-colored is extreemly well made in all details...if to be compared with an original, but the bi-color is surely not my taste...Only very wanted by japanese yougsters. I focus on a seal one. Keep in touch.

    Wanted RMNZ ANJ-4 Size 44

    OK, a kind of "Ersatz...". As far as I remember mine from last year had a molded/casted Talon zipper. Aero uses them as well ( sometimes ). Will try to get a seal from THE FEW whilst in Japan, if seal colored ( not bi- colored ), they are still my favored.

    Wanted RMNZ ANJ-4 Size 44

    OK, so LW is using various kind of zippers. Is it a NOS Talon or a repro?

    Hiding stitching (needle) holes in leather - can it be done?

    Carefull with the iron...not too hot...you just need to generate steam and pressure it in the holes... Good luck.

    Hiding stitching (needle) holes in leather - can it be done?

    If its only stiching holes, put a soaked wet towel over the needle holes and carefully " iron " the towel. The steam created will inflate the leather structure and close the holes (pores) . Once finished, polish it with leather balm. Worked great for me on a WW2 A-2 where a patch was removed.
