So wait, that jacket I posted is a fake!? Huh! And it looks so old, I mean, that lining certainly looks like it had seen at least one war.

lol I'm not selling that jacket, just wondering about is all! First time I even see this style... If it's a repro, it is a darn good one. The zipper does indeed look identical to the one in the photo and I can't imagine it's this simple for the Japanese to acquire the original period hardware for the reproduction. But yeah, I don't really know anything about these jackets, so if you say it's a fake, it's gotta be. :D

I dont know if I would call it a fake. It is more like a French civi version, if you will. Probably a period item but not a Luftwaffe jacket. The brown one is really nice but imagine purchase (without paypal) would be a pain in the a$$. Thanks for keeping a lookout for me.

The guy selling it as real world war two is known.Has several accounts.
Just have a close check on the chest zips. surely not ww2, but excellent repros, japanese made all-rounder reenactor zips.
The Eastman Hartmann is a great jacket.
