I’d have to say that jacket is a couple of notches higher than the old versions. And the moton looks vintage, unlike what they used to have.
Replacing a mouton on a navy jacket is like playing Russian roulette. It all depends how good the leather is to take the resowing and how good the...
Steve, is that a 350 or 370? Nice rolling stock.
Mate at work has a 350, he doesn’t look after it, lost a the verve after a few incidents with the general public. It’s a daily drive for him but I keep telling him to buy a bomb for daily and take the 350 of the road and Start doing it up and...
On the EASTMAN thing; I haven’t read it apart from what’s posted here, but it certainly comes across a little arrogant in lieu of the current focus. But even if they did adopt the required measures there is a perceived view from the customer upon reading it that your just trying to work the...
Spot on Tim, but it’s not just the makers is it, it’s all the trades that these guys depend on and order from that go into making a finely crafted leather jacket. The tanneries, haberdashery stores, knits, button press studs, zips. Not to mentioned the struggling postal/ courier services that...

A lot of it has to do with the neck hole as well, but I do love a Dubow swoop in a collar.
Interestingly though, when the collars up it doesn’t appear (feel) to sit as high as a Werber, which has a smaller neck hole and thereby hugs your neck a little more closely
Not sure really but you could try the Few. If that’s their house jacket, it’s probably made of details from a number of different contracts.
From the photo it looks to have a collar stand? If so the thiscwould be an early design of an Aero or Dubow? The collar looks more Aero, the pockets...
Used to do that, after 10 jackets and a lot of mullah I’ve finally sorted them out to 4 jackets that I really want, just sold one this week which will fund an m422. oh, and there’s the Irvin I’m looking for.... and maybe a non military jacket somewhere along the line... did I say 4 jackets...
