I'm ordering one of these. Are Conmar zippers usually brass or not? Can't make up my mind on zip but leaning towards the nickel talon. I've never seen brass zips on an A-2. Any comments?

Kiltie, I "dare" you to buy that jacket.

One thing, AndyFalzon, you may want to have your web guy put the order info on a secure page. They should know how to go about that. It's a bit more trustworthy seeing a secure page when personal info is requested like that. (Not the PAYPAL sign-in, that's fine, but the page before that.)

Jacket looks great, otherwise.

Sorry, new stuff as I look at it more. What does the Russet look like when not under flash? It might be a bit more yellow than I like; but it could also be the flash. How soon until you have seal brown available and some images of that? I'm very interested in the jacket seen on the left-hand-side of your main page.

Finally. Maybe you can update your site with some images of the jacket being worn? I think that's probably the bigger concern for many of us is seeing how it fits on a body.

Thanks!

Brass Conmar zippers were used on several A2 contracts, in particular Perry's, the no name (Cable) 27753 contract, the no name 42-18246-P and on some United Sheeplined A2s. Offering a NOS Talon as an extra would be a good idea as they can be procured quite cheaply from MASH.
