The jackets pictured are a selection of those from the personal collection belonging to the owner of RMNZ/The Few.
Not pictured are M-444's, B-10's, D-1's and B-6's.
The pictures were taken at a Trade show in Shanghai, China , hosted by the Few.
The jackets are of RMJ origin, dating from around 2000/2001 I think.
The jackets are all safely back in Christchurch, NZ.

althought these are very cool looking jackets with terrific artwork, very little of it looks like period theater painted jackets. Ultimatley, not very interesting to me but in general, it would still have been nice to have been there.

Agree. Not realistic in the WW2 or Korea sense, but fine work indeed and nice eye candy.

I've never made it a secret, but I love these art jackets :lol:

A "Marilyn" A-2...what's next? An Elvis A-2?

The past is a small country, I suppose, but this strikes me as a high-quality rendition of a total POS concept. Like something you'd find in a NYC souvenir store, made for people all over the world looking for something Pure American Pop.

You might as well decorate your jacket with a Route 66 sign and a cheeseburger the size of a baby's head. :lol:

I'm shameless, I'd buy any one of those jackets in size 40-42 for $ 500...maybe a little more for Marilyn or the Dragon Lady :roll:
