Three airdales with a P2Y flying boat, about 1940, giving us a good idea of the shade - surely variable - of Jungle Cloth.

Every maker stenciled differently. Some were obviously silkscreened.

Sheen is noticeable in certain pix but not all. It can even have a leathery look.

Why not do a Jungle Cloth that fades authentically? The Japanese makers vary the shades, but each looks baby butt new, and the jackets are too precious to mess with washing.
