Stanford Vintage B-3 restoration

[MikeyB-17]

Saw this on Instagram and thought it was interesting, bringing some life back to a basically knackered B-3. What particularly interested me was the B-3 itself, never seen the long leather tabs coming down from the collar to the snaps, and the panel behind the neck looks like a SFAD or similar, although I can’t make out a stamp.

Ed has done a fantastic job of that restoration and I believe has an Irvin in the works and a few other leather pieces. For those who don’t have Instagram I’m sure he won’t mind me sharing these photos here for everyone to marvel at.

Impressive work !
What I really admire is that he’s been able to save a historical piece from WWII .
Great Job !
