Issued CWC on NOS Admiralty grey watch strap for doing the chores today

Scrub the vents I can see em now I’ve had a better look Colour looks good Would you also do multi panel version on request?

Great effort there Morten As others have said the label is the first thing that stood out but you know that now Have you done the vents under the arms? as they are there on originals Be great when you get the zippers sorted as that seems to be the main area of improvement needed on most current...

Thanks Jennison, would be great to hear more stories if that was possible?, we have mentioned on here several times what we think happened at the factories when these jackets were made, so be great to hear more from someone that worked there what went on, anything he could tell us really be great

He has indeed..cut back on his snacks is what he told me..suddenly you guys in a 42 could be in luck

Very nice and good pics!!

Great observations…waiting at pick up yesterday and found the different thread colours John used on my Dubow, if your happy can post up the pocket flaps and zipper tab for comparison Grant John has a new source for cuffs and lining , they are both notably a big improvement

I have his Chrome tanned goat also, superb stuff

Really nice Jan and great fit, Dave is really on it with the Navy jackets See those jeans are starting to break in, which ones are they?

Anyone else here got any “jungle boots” that they wear out and about Managed to find some Panama soled ones, issued apparently to a UK soldier in 1974 when he was training with the US military, will post up some pics later but be interested in seeing some images if anyone else has them

That looks spot on Jorge, the goat he is using is amazing stuff, what made you go goat with your Doob? Did you have any other combat clone work done, I will look at the pictures later but currently looking on my phone, halfway through my night shift with tired sore eyes!!

Err you aren’t the only one Jan

Looks nice Jorge

Great score Jorge, given the length of a lot of nylon jackets that certainly makes the N-3 very practical for wearing about

Drop him a PM, he isn’t always in here but he does pick up messages on occasion
