Shawn has announced on his Facebook page that his sheepskin jackets will be on sale in about 3 days.

I must admit that this bag has been doing my head in.. the bag has all the hallmarks of a p37 british large pack with its 2" web straps on the back and brass quick release buckles on the front but the square corners on the flap and straps sewn on the outside has thrown me, the only conclusion I...

I've been e mailing Shawn over the past couple of days regarding a question I had on a jacket, he said that there is a national Eid holiday over there at the moment so the factory will be closed until the 16th of this month although Shawn is still answering e-mails.

I've just looked on the SOF website, it looks like the only have the medium size in stock.

As far as I'm aware, both 'soldier of fortune' and 'what price glory' both sell sell them, I cant say how accurate they are as not seen them in the flesh, if purchasing the WPG version it'll probably be shipped into the uk from the UAE , delivery is quick and from what I've experienced comes...
