B15-A

[blackrat2]

I was wondering if anyone with original B15-A’s could post up some images of there jackets
Particularly interested in the colours of mouton used by the makers
Any close up images would be greatly appreciated
I have to confess I know very little about these jackets other than what I have gotten from the Eastman site

I used to own an original Roughwear B-15A. I’ll see if I can find some photos.

Fantastic Peter thank you
I have seen Grants one on a separate post and hope that some of the collectors here might post up some bits in due course

She could have a new career repairing VLJ jackets $$$$$$$$

 

[Roughwear]

She has done a very good job.

A bit of a blue-ish hue as it is indirect window light only. They would fade a bit so there is variation.

Never in all my years of collecting have I seen or heard of one.

Thanks Peter, I am meaning like a normal sheep white/cream colour

All the collars I've seen have been dark brown.
