A few more additions to the jacket collection

Not the best pics but gives you all an idea...........

WW2 N-1 Deck Jacket

Roland B-15D 1950's

Good Wear A-2 no-name 42-18246-P Knopf - seal HH - gotta break this one in, purchased "used" but virtually unworn via 767fo

The B-15D looks real nice. They aren't as easy to find as they used to be. I used to have a minty B-15D and a B-15C but sold them a few years back. I just never wore them but I surely can appreciate the guys that like Nylon. As long as a guy can find one with the right body length, they are really comfortable jackets.

Congrats CBI , all three of them looks cool!

Good Grief John ...you have eyes !!
Where have those shades gone

Well done on the jacket purchase's

thanks - yes agree about the B-15 fit as being tricky. Super high waisted, puffy shoulders. I am a size 44R but the 44 orig B-15C/D's I have owned (briefly) were WAY too broad in the shoulders so I had to downsize to a 42. Yes, SUPER comfortable.

Opposite problem for me with the N-1, I tried on 2 originals about a year ago in my size 42/44 but the fit was odd. Geeeez

Alan - when posting pics I thought there was something wrong! The sun was right in my face for these.

They all look great John. But I think the Knopf might just have an edge on the others

Super nice B-15 there. I have a Rolen, albeit a modified one and I really like the fit of them. Love the Crown zippers too. You managed to pick up a tidy N-1 there. Not easy these days.

I agree John.
Character and fit.
Have you got a back shot to compare as the pre HWT shot looked a little loose on you ?

And you could have the famous sunglasses on for all I know this time.
Cunning headless shots !!
