And finally. In the end I am now the proud owner of an Alpha Vintage series in the Sage Green. It's an almost perfect fit and looks great IMHO. I've now had three jackets through my hands in the last few weeks, although all of them different. I would have been more than happy to wear all three...
I've already got it on UK ebay, hopefully get a portion of my money back. I've just ordered my THIRD jacket from japoan. an Alpha Vintage series in Green with the USAF badge on the sleeve. I'll take the alpha tag off the sleeve if it fits. wish me luck men, Third time lucky!
