Just amazingly stunning jacket @bazelot! Never have seen an original shearling jacket in such a condition .
As we have not yet extended our "Better Fighting Garment 2.0" thread to cover as well the winter issues please allow one question: You probably can elaborate on the main difference between the M444 and the M444A (?) - what was the deviating criteria of the "A"?
thanks a lot!

I have so many jackets that have been ruined with Pecards. It sits on the acrylic doesn't soak in, turns white and attracts dirt.

I’ve never had that problem. Then again I just use a dab at a time. I can see how using a lot would do as you say

I don't believe there is any difference in specs. The M-444 came from an earlier contract I guess.

Full Gear suggests the same as what @bazelot said. Sounds like it was probably just a change in contract wording, a minor change in the source of the materials, or something similarly inconsequential.

Yes, here it is - the brass decided the cuffs needed to be hot pink. They just liked how it looked with the seal surface of the shearling.
