Pike Brothers do some quite decent stuff, but I don't think I fancy one of these.

Wow! An exceptional piece of manufacturing, but sadly it lacks the vertical back seam, and map lining found on all authentic A2s.

That's a thumbs down from me. Reminds me of something the Indian bloke at our local market sells.

It wouldn't be so bad if it was cheap, but for that money you could get something really decent. They kind of have the right idea, seem to know what they're aiming for, but don't get it right in the execution.

Saw that from their Facebook feed last night, that just reminds me of some 80s' mall jackets, minus the shoulder pads and flappy sleeves.... And the wool knits...... oh mine oh mine....

 

[Roughwear]

You could by a decent used high end repro for the same money these days.

Looks like something Ralph Lauren would make so in that case it's a bargain. Haha! But yeah, no!

Looks like someone added (bad) knits and epaulettes to an Indy jacket. Nein, danke.

Hay Caramba! What is this bedevilment?

I own some PB stuff already like Wabash / hemp denim / denim aso coz I relly like Fabian`sd style ...

As soon as it comes to repros or Mil-Garment there are too many flaws in his "creations" - I own one of their N1 jackets which is fine but so far i`d not spend such an amount of money for such a sloppy copy

Thomas do you fancy doing a review on the PB N-1?

I've seen a couple on ebay but never 100% sure.

 

[Thomas Koehle]

Cobby will do - just have to search for some pics of the jacket coz it`s back home in Germany and I'm in Mexico ...

 

[Cobblers161]

Hay Caramba!!!!

You on holiday or business? Either way yer a lucky fella, have fun ;-)
