    Field Leathers

    The original 60s Beck 666 has the wide shoulder narrow chest pattern. I gave up trying to find a "right" size 666. I still have the size 38 that I bought some years ago.

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    The jackets are so clean in the first 2 episodes. Even the A-2 worn by the CO of the base looks brand new.

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Well, made an offer on a Star Sportswear 7823D contract year 1971 before I see the Field and Stream so end up with this one too. Collar not washed and curled up like most.

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Bought this while looking for a late G-1 as windbreaker for the humid local weather. This is even better as the mouton collar will often be too much.

    Very Vintage LL Bean ID/Info?

    Ibex of England https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/neat-find-vintage-suede-ibex-un-lined-trucker-jean-jacket.94204/ Should be able to find their trademark/logo on the button. I think Ibex only make leather belts now.

    Very Vintage LL Bean ID/Info?

    No expert but 60s. Label according to collectors is 50 to 60s but Levi's Type 3 which this is based on came out in 1962. Some suggest that it is 50s based on the label but as said the design is 60s. https://norville-hij.com/items/5bf63c171444482217000307

    These are licensed product. Schott Japan got the licence to develop their own design and source from China, Vietnam etc. Most if not all are fashion mall quality with the Schott brand name.

    AUTHENTICITY CHECK... Real McCoy's J-100

    The thing is as Canuck Panda has pointed out, there are other aspects that contribute to how one feel wearing a jacket. Apart from the rather 2D measurements like chest, waist, the armhole width is a part that people often overlook. With a large armhole, you will feel less tight and it offers...

    AUTHENTICITY CHECK... Real McCoy's J-100

    1) I am not sure they have made the 19110 in this shade of brown. I don't remember seeing them making this colour in the last few years. 19110 means 2019 model. 9110 means 2009 model. IMO it is a 9110 and not 19110. You can see the 2013 blog of a dealer that I think is the only time RM...

    AUTHENTICITY CHECK... Real McCoy's J-100

    There is normally a Real McCoy's label in the pocket. Here is a link of the same jacket. https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1109240162 Another one in size 36 https://fashion.aucfan.com/yahoo/x1024768425/

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    I got the A-2 and a 1966 N-2B at 20%off last month using Buyee. I just let them sit in their warehouse while using the 20% Toys coupon to scoop up some toys. 30 days almost up so paid for shipping last week. This week, i saw the AllState at quite a bargain and From Japan is giving 15% coupon...

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    I do think the military A-2 are thinner than civilians. The discolouration on this A-2 is as I had hoped just discolouration. No crack, seams are holding up. Lining is torn though. With the yen down and bad economy in Japan (lots of coupons from prixy service), i am getting deals on jackets...

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    A Roughwear (I think) A-2 and a 66 Skyline clothing N-2B. Both have modifications/alterations so relatively cheap.

    Shearling Bombers demand about to sky rocket! Masters of the Air show coming Jan.

    I remember a few of the popular brands here claim to have supplied A-2s in Red Tails but I do not remember them mentioning they are "one of". I think the same goes for Fury the film. Good of Aero to tell the "whole truth".

    There is a button on yahoo auction for offer same as ebay. So if you see 值下交涉， seller is open to negotiation. Bargainning is not seen as rude in 2nd hand market. I suppose problem arises where seller specifically says no negotiation but the overseas buyer fails to notice it. For example, no...
