Looking for red or navy woollen ball caps, need a couple. SM Wholesale ones at $95 are a bit steep in my opinion. I know society hat did some but they dont seem to have a functioning website.. Anyone else producing such an item do we know ?

I once owned a beautiful Eastman Gordon and Ferguson limited run M422a nice mid brown and a very different animal from any G1 you usually see. Anyway, it went but Ive developed a bit of a hankering to get another one. I never come on here without showering praise on Eastman and bemoaning the...

I think poughkeepsie used this type of snap originally.

They look simply amazing and would be 100% for seabees too. Like anyone I could stand to lose the embossing. Of course my problem is the same as most people’s in that I simply lack the wherewithal (or maybe the inclination, but more likely the cash) to make the investment required. In the same...

Fivestar do look good

I had an Eastman B6 and found that the fleece was prone to pilling. It may have been a bad batch. The cut and fit is tremendous

A bit William Gibson of course. I am a fan of "inspired by" jackets as an idea, some hybrid or tribute jackets fall square on their arses. This is a nice jacket but I would never pursue it at any price.

If considering the at times quite marked departures from authenticity which is an undeniable issue with these type of jackets, the what price glory offering always seems to me to be the pennywise option to take. Cockpit are pricey and their claims of gold standard jackets may be backed up with...

At least there is not a military contractor label in it. In that sense it's basically in the same league as any given Indiana Jones jacket but with a buzz price label

Anyone able to comment objectively on the quartermaster.be a2 jackets?
