    To all A2 & military jacket collectors.

It was quite cheap but my dilemma is that I bought it with the intension of using the mouton for repairing any fur collared G1/B10 I may get in the future, maybe have a new jacket collared with this genuine vintage...

    Variety shows and Britain's Got Talent

A lot of people in the outside world are knocking the show, Britains Got Talent because a dog act won the big prize, and some talented other acts(let me guess, the singers) lost out...
