I read the threads here and I am astounded by the intimate knowledge of contracts and specs.
I am happy that I can spot real from repro and trace the lineage of the various types of jacket from B15b or L2a through to nomex but when it comes to the nuances I am a novice and as for manufacturers variations.....forget it.....
I pick up stuff like squared off windflaps on Ma1's such as the lion but I would love to see a timeline reference sticky compiled for each main jacket (or parka) type and notable anomalies posted here.
Anyone able to set the ball rolling?
