I admit it's late on a Friday and it has been a hectic week at the Warrant Officer & NCO Academy... Is this a jacket listing or someone 'making a point'?

It is Dave Sheeley (Maverickson), who posts here, selling a D-1 jacket which he has made from an original. Dave generally refurbishes WW2 jackets but is venturing out into reproducing them now.

Great D-1 Repro Dave! It looks rock solid and authentic. I have seen Dave's work and his quality and attention to detail is top notch.

Thanks for the info Jay. If it meets your approval it must be right.

Almost missed this one! Yes, that referenced D-1 is mine. There will be others.

I'm still very much into restoration of original jackets. In fact I have several quite unusual military and civilian type jackets currently in the works. Along the way I've been able to obtained some very nice originals needing restoration. That associated restoration work has given me a sound schooling in vintage jacket construction basics. Thought it was time to do some from scratch.


My venturing out into new construction has not diminished my interest in restoration work or in collecting vintage jackets in general. Will be posting the results of those latest restorations soon.

Cheers, Dave
