    California sunshine.

    Shearling Bombers demand about to sky rocket! Masters of the Air show coming Jan.

    Haha I saw the Aero post about being one of the suppliers after Eastman's misleading "the official supplier". Eastman does great stuff and has outfitted great films; they don't need to mislead! I have half a mind to send a picture of the Aero jackets in the show, send them to Eastman, and ask...

    can anyone provide pics of the schott b3 257s in brown/gold?

    These kinds of jackets are a reversed sheepskin with the fur inside and the soft inner layer on the outside. In order to extend the life of the garment for more than a year or so, that inner portion (which is on the outside) gets painted and lacquered.

    can anyone provide pics of the schott b3 257s in brown/gold?

    I may be wrong but I don't think it's something done by the jacket maker. After sheepskin is tanned, the flesh side (non fur side) can be painted and lacquered to be stronger and a bit more weather resistant. This is why sheepskin pilot jackets usually have a shiny red or brown color. It's paint.

    can anyone provide pics of the schott b3 257s in brown/gold?

    I was calling the Schott in that pic seal brown. The reason the sheepskin you're seeing is rough is because the way these wartime style sheepskins were prepared was actively *painting* the non-fleece side. That is where the darker color comes from and why it fades.

    I added a link to the fleece-lined N-1 there as well.

    Yes, that is seal brown.

    The best affordable alternative is probably the fleece-lined tanker and deck jacket models from At The Front, which targets the re-enactment community.

    can anyone provide pics of the schott b3 257s in brown/gold?

    Having been to the Schott factory several times, I can confirm that the color of their B-3 is seal brown, the same as everyone else's.

    can anyone provide pics of the schott b3 257s in brown/gold?

    I'm sorry but $1500 CAD is a lot of money! Instead of this gambling game, why not just get an Aero B-6 to suit your height, for considerably less money. The Schott B-3 (which is a great civi sheepskin) is basically a B-6 anyway.

    can anyone provide pics of the schott b3 257s in brown/gold?

    Then why are you getting this made? You don't like the sheepskin and you don't like the stuff he makes. What is the logic here?

    Want Indy Jones jacket with the correct drape that stays more to the sides.

    Meanwhile, Ralph Fiennes as M wears beautifully tailored bespoke suits which really shows Bond's poor fit by contrast.

    Get something that he already makes, then. Attempting a pattern from a photo is always going to go badly.

    Want Indy Jones jacket with the correct drape that stays more to the sides.

    Ironically those under-sized suits really age Skyfall poorly because it's rather unusual for the suits of a Bond film to be so trend-chasing rather than classically tailored. But then I guess that's the deal with the devil they made with the Tom Ford sponsorship. (The suits in Quantum actually...

    can anyone provide pics of the schott b3 257s in brown/gold?

    Who is making this? Does he have experience making sheepskin coats? What does he normally make? The single post important thing in a garment is the patterning; if the pattern is not good, the jacket will be terrible no matter how much money you pour into it. Before those are answered, we're...

    #8 Shell Cordovan boots w/dark Brown Jacket?

    It goes with anything. You won't look like a fashion tryhard. On occasion about 15 years ago I would sometimes wear tan Oxfords with a navy suit; at the time it was a sort of rakish move. Now it seems like the standard footwear for dark suits is tan and that combination is horrific default.

    Iade Leathers Review

    That makes sense to me, since unlike wool leather moulds, whereas for a suit regardless of your general measurement they need to construct the shape through cutting, canvas, and iron.
