IMHO the finest B-3 repro ever. ( sorry JC)....
Here even in a large 46“ size...
This website is one of the best nowadays especially for Americania and high end jackets.... to buy and sell.

The link does not work for me, even using a VPN.
Does it work for others?

 

[flyincowboy]

No nothing for me too!

Apologies, guess one needs to be registered.
Sorry and my bad.

Got it okay. Awesome HLB...It has been up before..

I just don't have access to "https://buyee.jp".
I get a "403 Forbidden" page
Maybe it's a momentary malfunction (I've never been on this site).
Too bad, there seems to be a lot of interesting things to see on "https://buyee.jp"

 

[Kermit3D]

Ah it works! it's just my VPN that prevented me from accessing the link.... sorry for that.
Very nice jacket indeed. But I'm not a specialist, I couldn't say how it's better than a GW .

I make opening bid to be about $2700 USD. That seems like a lot of cash even for the finest B-3 repro.

Just my opinion but, I’ve seen a few of JCs B-3 jackets and I have to say that for my money they are probably the best dollar for dollar value out there .

Agree with you Burt, but the RMC’s B-3 is available immediately... unlike John’s B-3’s..
Honestly, even if beeing a big fan of John’s A-2’s... the HLB on Buyee looks very very very authentic. IMHO

 

[B-Man2]

I definitely can’t disagree with you on any of those points Brice . The wait times for a GW are a big factor . Additionally, you never see any HLB repro B-3s these days . But that price tag of that one , is kind of a turn off for most folks . But it is a great jacket .

 

[tda003]

A lot of support for this jacket at this price. However I note that ausreenactor says that it's been up before and with 1 day to go this time, there's no opening bid.

Been on for several weeks....the arms have been chopped....It's a pup.
RM do make an amazing B3, no one has ever come close to the quality if the sheepskin

Agree with all...
1) was made for a Sumo
2) TRMCCS use the best fleece available for $€£¥

Good Wear 4eva!

I like that Real McCoy’s a whole bunch, however, the collar is a bit oversized (to match the price)

Beautiful jacket! Great fit!

I had one of those rm hlb b-3s, and photo in the sale does not show how very yellow the fur is. I mean like jaundice yellow. I found the color so distracting that I moved the jacket on.
