Lemme see those sheepskins!

Can you folks post pictures of the sheepskin flight jackets that you've had for a while. I'm one of those nerds that likes to see how they age, so if you've got a beat up old B3, B6, D1 ect. show them off folks! Who made them and how long ya had it?

Always sell them before they age ( or wear too much on the sleeves/cuffs)

I have one of these. It has the exact wear of an original wartime issued jacket. The only way to tell it from an original is it is too clean and does not have that 'authentic' smell most old American jackets have. Then again it is only 15 years old
I dont collect anything old these days unless they come along at a song and like most 70 year old dead sheep are a bit fragile. I sold an original ANJ4(Monarch I think) years back as the shoulder started to show white through the finish. Time to move it on and let someone else deal with it.
