Not as horrible as the one I posted a thread about, but still not a look that would appeal to me.

Agree, guess the buyer became a seller, because he thinks the same after opening the box.

Complete waste of money. You would be better off buying a used and well worn ELC or other top of the line 27752 repro and do it yourself. Name tag, Roundel and a pair of captains bars under the collar . Add some inside stenciling and voila... you’ve got your Hilts special for about half the price and looking a whole lot better in my opinion.

not that i can afford one, but its too bad that gary doesnt make a 1st contract rw [same contract as the hilts] in a light russet, and with a m-39 stopper and hearshy bar talon.

I don’t know what they’re thinking of. A quick Google of the original McQueen jacket doesn’t show any of the sort of wear these repros have. Completely over the top.

No that last one is a combo jacket very rare .Its Evil Kenevil ,Happy days , Hilts and with an Elvis & Dracula collar . I do not know how they can do it for the price .

Yeah, this really isn't much better, and the wear on it isn't realistic at all. I'd much rather buy a used RW repro and see about finding someone like Jeremiah who could redye it and give it the "reissue look."

Yes, it’s 100% screen accurate! With its inside pockets, viscose lining and YKK zip! What were we thinking?

Somewhere , someone is wearing that jacket and if they’re reading this they are probably thinking to themselves .... See I knew this jacket was cool!

Agree with you.
