Way to go Tim ! Excellent. One of my dream jackets. If the label is wrong and it's a small....well, you know where to come. Seriously, I hope it works out well for you. I respect a man who will sell leather to fund nylon. Some folks turn their noses up at nylon. How wrong they are.

Well done Tim!!!
A gorgeous example, can't wait to see you in it! Close ups and all. One jacket I really want in the collection, good for you.

Nice job. That was a great deal. I was following that and almost had a go at it, but I know these run large and it would have been too big on me. I did find it odd that the fur was rather short on this model. You do find many variations of different furs. I really like the versions with the dark highlights. Oh great, I'm sounding like some fashion designer now!!! :shock:
Congrats!!! That was an excellent buy. You can buy quite a few more of those originals before equaling the price of a Buzz N-3.

That was a very good snag for sure. If you can hang onto your leather too, do it.

It is on the way suitably described and undervalued according to the vendor. Whilst in dialogue with him I have been bemused by the claim that this appears to never have had a decal at the shoulder. now I know that this is far from impossible in general terms but is anyone able to state that the decal was omitted from some contracts? or is this a peculiarity to this jacket?
of course it may be when it arrives that it has simply worn to nothing and he has not paid it any heed.

Tim, in some cases the decal can wear away to the point where it's very difficult to see any trace. I'd wait until it arrives before drawing any conclusions.

Check this out:

We can only assume that there were a limited number of jackets available for the authors of the Japanese treatises to examine, but obviously the N-3 began life with a stencil. The black outline perhaps deteriorates more readily than the full-color type, but even these can be hard to detect in some cases. My original L-2A and B-15C have only the slightest trace of lettering visible, and then upon the closest inspection.
