Quite funny to see how G star re-vamp the Kanal style/impression for women's fashion
I agree with connection knitwearThe simmons is compared to an original just a fashion jacket like the G star at the top of this thread, has not much similarities to original ones. The one from connectionknitwear is way more accurate even not perfect, it's the five star of luftwaffe jackets
Yep here in Europe this winters fashion is all B3;and various other flight jacket designs, there is also a place here that makes very nice chambray shirt clones that look like the original vintageI like it a lot, my wife could wear that anytime and I would be good with it. And yes, the high fashion industry does look to history for new ideas and style. Look no further than the double RL brand from Ralph Lauren. One WWII retro after another whether it is shirts, jackets, bags, etc. Some one recently told me Ralph himself is buying original A2’s from the market for personal wear. Maybe someone here know whether that is fact or fiction.
You may be right…….mind you, the last time I posted this pic, the general consensus was that the jacket was great, the Aston was gorgeous, but as for the jodhpurs…..mmmmm .Some one recently told me Ralph himself is buying original A2’s from the market for personal wear.
