Hi guys,
I am looking to buy an Alpha B-15 jacket (getting cold here in France now!), but am not sure which is best to go for. I would ideally love to get hold of one of their old Replica Series jackets, but they seem almost impossible to find now in anything but a small or really large size (I'd be needing a size 40 or 42). My budget is very limited at the moment, so I think my options are the Alpha Vintage series, or they're current 'Replica' B-15 jacket, which is available on ebay.
Vintage Series jacket
Current Alpha Replica jacket
Based on the above photos, could anybody tell me which they think is the most authentic looking? The current Alpha B-15 has a removable synthetic mouton - not very authentic. It seems (from the photo) though, to be a bit better quality than the Vintage Series jacket, although that could be due to better lighting.
If anyone has either the Vintage Series B-15 or the current version, and is able to comment, any help and opinions appreciated!
Thanks,
Jon
