Eastman ANJ-4 at the Goodwood Members Meeting yesterday:

View attachment 77477

Jacket came from a charity shop a few years ago (wasn’t cheap! Was discussed on here), yesterday was the first time I’ve worn it. I think I actually prefer it to my B-3, as it doesn’t look quite so military. Either way, it’s a great jacket and super warm, pleased I kept it (putting it on eBay a few times, but de-listed it).
I was there also!, was looking out for any decent jackets, I must not have seen you as I am sure that I would have commented. Great looking jacket, hope that you enjoyed the racing.
I was supporting a friend who raced a 1955 peugeot 203 in the Sopwith challenge. I wasnt allowed to take any of my origional jackets (wife not keen) but I managed my half belt and a b2 cap (eastman rep).

Just in my NSW police officer jacket,made by Babylon Industries NSW (excuse the "poofiness" of the jacket because it is fitted for a fairly thick liner which I've taken out since it's waaay too warm in the summery weather we're having)
It's made out of cowhide,the two top pockets are false (does have two internal pockets as well as two pen pockets) and the all important "snap flaps" for duty belt wear

Hard to see the jacket as the photo is dark.
Could you lay it out flat on the floor or a table so we can get a better look at it ?
Thanks CW

New (used) Buzz Rickson’s Roughwear B-10. I think the fit of the Superior Togs was a hair longer, but the green knits on this one are preferable for me. Alpaca blend on this one feels a little rougher too than the ST but this one is bitchin’. It may have been washed in a prior life, but high quality garment without a doubt.

Here's the images B-Man2 of the NSW police leather jacket.
As I tried to highlight it's got left and right "snap flaps" for the pistol belt and has two upper pockets and wrist straps that are purely cosmetic.... and the silver buttons are a ER ll crown with New South Wales around the edge.
It was made by Babylon Industries NSW in 1998 and it's a 46R but fits about 2 sizes bugger due to the thick liner and the fact our police used to wear a "Howard Green" pullover.....why in such a warm climate is beyond me
