JACKET_ HEAD said:Sure looks good.
As I'm very much an amateur and have only handled a few WW2 made jackets, I appreciate that JC's jackets look like originals but do they weight the same as originals or has he lined the jacket in lead to make it feel the same weight ? Like Rolex fakes !
The hide looks thinner but with the same wear as an original and the 2 Good Wears I had were definately light but they were early ones.

J_H weight and color are funny things and collectors like our good friend imp all know that things like weight and color on most of the large contracts were all over the place. Different weight hides on the same jacket :shock: I've always said this before if you want 100% original, buy original. I would but I can't afford originals in a size 52. They are extremely rare and very expensive when they do show themselves.
