Will be in Adelaide/ Australia starting from next monday Sept. 7th.
Staying for 5 days on a business trip.
Just wondering if any collector or TFL member there.
Happy to have a few drinks on me down town.
Cheers
Very nice jackets gents! I am impressed by the very good look and quality of your jacket DD.
Surely prices have droped a lot recently.
Prime makers will have to watch out if they keep theire high price policy. A lot of high quality alternatives on the market right now...New stuff and second...
Nice jacket, nice fit...
For the sleeves, just wear it in the rain once...dry in on you ( on you is important) ...the sleeves will fit then after.
Best
Hello A.B.
fully agree with you and send them several mails and suggestion.
Answer was, its good enough and no complain so far.
Despite this I ordered precisely the same jacket in 48" than pictured here.
Still waiting for it.
Cheers
Aero has the best hides and craftmanship, but their zippers and stuts are far away from the originals or more importantly far away from other repro makers.Other prime repro makers have much better ( and reliable) metalware.
Just ask for details from Aero and compare to others and or original...
I will let you know when I have it or them ( or not ).
I have been informed that they are available since RMC NZ closed down and Japan took over.
Anyway, lets wait and see.
Big J would be happy to meet you there, I will be in Tokyo, Kobe and Osaka. Dates not set yet.
Sure, paying 1K is buying it new...and to highly priced (unless made on order).
Two RW B-3 from Eastman were sold for 460 Euro on Ebay.de, just very recently....
Anayway, good luck.
Sorry to read your misfortune, but:
1) maybe buy less jackets and save for a good one,
2) right now 2nd handed Good Wear, Eastman, Aero, BR, RMC, sell for very low money...
None is receiving 1-2K for a repro nowadays.
Sorry my humble ( experience) opinion.
Far away from the real thing, but extreemly low in price...so very good deal...go on guys..best buy ever for a great jacket.
Best ever seen Talon zipper in my life...the best best best repro money can buy..
Had a few of them in my hands..
A-2's leather like cardbox paper waxed, liner like plastc bag consitency, metalware and ziper like for china made one way sleeping bag.
B-3 leather like ill sick mouton, flaking away after 2 hours of use, zipper like cover of youth hostel sleeping bag.
Collar like...
Saw a few W&G jackets made in the 80ies..."cheap" by all means. No wonder they dont exist anymore.
A golden rule which applies everywhere: you only get what you pay for.
Looking for a ww2 irvin in large wearable size...no cc, no wired jacket please.
Pit-pit min 25".
No repro no cosmetics, no wreckages pls.
Thx for your consideration
