    New "mud"-splattered denim, anyone? Just US$425 to you, mate.

    Ha!Ha!Ha! I shouldn't laugh. It probably is what's coming next ...

    New "mud"-splattered denim, anyone? Just US$425 to you, mate.

    Oh, I hear you about dads. My dad would have asked how much they'd cost, of course - and there'd be no way I'd cop to that and tell him the truth of $425 ... there's no sense in getting a slap on the side of the head as well as a tongue-lashing. Anything for the quiet life. And I once had a...

    No! Seriously?!?!

    New "mud"-splattered denim, anyone? Just US$425 to you, mate.

    Agreed. And the thing is, I'd buy a new pair of jeans because my old ones are ripped. And I'd wash them because I don't want them dirty like this ... It's a good job I'm older and I never wore these at the house growing up. Dad: "What the bloody hell have you been doing in the garden?" Me: "Not...

    New "mud"-splattered denim, anyone? Just US$425 to you, mate.

    Ha!Ha! That'd take some explaining, wouldn't it? But at least there'd be no need to debate the issue of whether or not to wash them. What'd be the point in doing that?

    New "mud"-splattered denim, anyone? Just US$425 to you, mate.

    The latest Japanese denim jeans from Nordstroms. Well, I've seen the paint-splattered denim and the ones where it looks like someone accidentally sat on a freshly-painted park bench - and now this. It certainly looks like someone wiped something on them...

    Another B-3 repro thread

    Pulls on worsted wool knits are par for the course, IMO. My Aero ANJ-3 was the same and they were replaced and now it's perfect again. And the wool knit cuffs on one of my Buzz Ricksons A-10 gloves are the same but much worse - but they get an awful lot of wear on my dog walks every morning with...

    That's really good to hear about its vintage and it's wonderful that it looks so good ... and to me, it seems that that jacket had your name on it, Gav, even way back when. As Bretron says, it looks like it was made for you - and it just took that extra time to get to you. I always like to see...

    Lovely jacket - and it looks great with the OD watch cap too! It's a perfect fit on you! (just tuck the shirt! Better to let the sheepskin hem end by itself, IMO). It looks mighty. Really nice. Good catch and good for you! Wear it in good health and thanks for posting!

    Best Aero Machinist for Workcoat

    PS. My last comment was not directed to you, Montecristo, and I'm not suggesting at all that you proudly wear your jacket to any bar and get laid. I used to think that in my single days. That behaviour will more likely get you a bread knife from the wife when you get home and all manner of...

    Best Aero Machinist for Workcoat

    I have a field shirt from Orvis that's the same - made in China (ugh) but damn, the heavy-gauge cotton is simply amazing and the stitching is complex and simply exemplary. I didn't know it was made in China when I bought it and wouldn't have done had I known - but hey, it's my best-made shirt...

    Best Aero Machinist for Workcoat

    I personally think that having the name of the jacket's maker attached to the jacket is a nice touch as it gives us here the ability to give credit where credit's due and to give a shout out to that skilled person here on TFL and send some praise when we post a review and photos - but, as I...

    US Authentic G-8

    Ah, but at least you know you've got it! And it'll be ready and waiting for the Fall ...! Excellent. It looks great, man. How do you like the zipper? I looks pretty robust ... is it YKK? Thanks.

    Best Aero Machinist for Workcoat

    When I was an apprentice and training as a orthodontic dental technician at one of two of the UK's premier private laboratories back in the day (mid-1980s), I was coached by one of my managers who told me that they were training me to gain a generic style that was synonymous with the lab and the...

    I think your smile says it all, Hypoxic! LOL! Excellent. If only there was a scratch 'n' sniff card to go with your post ... That's a great jacket! Great fit too. Perfecto! I love the look of it. Another to add to the wish-list, dammit! Wear it in good health!

    ... and isn't this the great thing about TFL (Outerwear section) - that we can see jackets like yours and view them in a real-life way and get a sense of the true article and value for money and a review of your experience with customer service? Thanks for posting!

    US Authentic G-8

    The jacket looks better on you than on the website! I can see it in a different light now and it looks great - and will be even more impressive in HH! Looking forward to seeing the finished jacket here soon ...! What's the history of the USN G-8?

    Crown Zipper Problems

    FOUND IT! That took a while ... Here's the link to my original post that explained my then-new (to me) ELC RW B-6 and at the foot of the post are the photos that the seller sent me of the original RiRi zips and the odd labels. I never saw them in person as the jacket had been returned to spec...
