How do the jp shops (like Masphalto, Barnstormers, etc) usually ship your jackets? (Like spread flat, lightly tucked or fully folded for example)

And, do the proxy service providers open and re-box your jackets or do they just fwd it as is?

And, do the proxy service providers (like FJ, Buyee, WorldShopping, etc) open and re-box your jackets or do they just fwd it as they go it from the shop?

When I've used Buyee I've always bought multiple items and have had them combined into one larger box for international shipping. My jackets have had the arms folded in and then the jacket folded in half. I've always been pleased with the efficiency and quality of their combined shipping service.

Packing has always been handled professionally for me, sometimes flat, sometimes folded once

Proxy service providers open and Rebox as they need to confirm the item contents, and they will pack things more professionally than an individual seller might

What is this particular style of jacket called? I believe the one pictured is a Goodwear repro of a Monarch, and the style looks very 40s. Does this model have a proper name? I'm guessing many brands offered a version of it

Hey guys, does anyone know where I can these small closed ended talon zippers for cheap? Repros would be fine. I have a couple jackets with sleeve zippers that need replacing.

How warm is the thick lining on fw/rc jackets?

 

[WolfofStateSt]

I’m looking for a hook closure jacket like the M-43 deck jacket.

You're question suggests that any random fw or rc jacket has one and the same lining. That's not the case.

You're question suggests that any random fw or rc jacket has one and the same lining. That's not the case.

You’re right, I only have a rc with red satin lining in the body and sleeves, and my other jackets are either cupro or unlined so I have no experience with thicker linings on leather, including cotton drill, flannel, wool blend and wool.

Most fw/rc I‘ve seen have a dark colored thicker lining but I’m unsure of it’s composition or if it’s the same for body and sleeves, but yeah I was assuming that, aside of satin, they were all the same composition and just varied in color.

So I’ll rephrase my question to, how warn is the lining of the fw deerskin bodie?
