2 x Tankers or 1 x B10 ???

[269sqnhudson]

Hey Guys, help me solve a dilemma, just a bit of fun really, love to know what you think.

Should I buy two WWII Impressions Tanker Jackets (I've had the older model, great quality!) or one Eastman B10?

2 x Tankers = around £320 including customs charges.
1 x ELC B10 = £449

I love Tanker jackets and I have a large database of images of AAF personnel wearing them, especially it seems in early 1944. I wanted to possibly patch one with a 9th Air Force patch and leave one unpatched. The new WW Impressions version looks even better than my Buzz Rickson so pretty good value.
OR should I get what is essentially one of the most accurate repro jackets available, the Eastman B10?

Thoughts?

Two tankers...

Patch one AAF, and then you have another blank 'canvas'. Go the B-10 and AAF it is...

Or go two Tankers AND the B-10? I know of a cheap Oldin-Dennis BR in a 40...

I'm a 46 sadly. I'm thinking two tankers, they're good sturdy jackets.

I'd go for the tankers.

The ELC B-10 - it's a class act...

You can't go wrong with an ELC B-10. IMO it's one of their best repro jackets.

Your gonna want both, you really want both so get one tanker and one B-10.
