Do you guys prefer your Navy M-422 jacket with
light brown knits i.e. like this

or with dark brown knits i.e. like this

you can vote
please?

I'd say whichever is closest to originals.

Originals were in various shades including the brown you see on top, a darker brown and some dull purple brown like this (which I think was something else originally but has become like this over the years)

It could be possible to replicate, but we have to consider the cost also.


I think these are the 3 colors here (first 3 from the left).

Now got to check availablity.
In the meantime which one you prefer?

light brown knits, because it have a faded / used / "more experience" tone .

Dull purple-brown, which was the colour used on most G&F M422A when the jackets were made.

 

[Pilotomutante]

Dull purple would be awesome, but just awnsering your question:

Light brown

Dull purple-brown, which was the colour used on most G&F M422A when the jackets were made.

When you say dull purple brown are you referring to any of the colors in this sample? Do you have a picture of dull purple brown on a jacket?

I too prefer contrast, so light brown for me.

 

[Roughwear]

I'm referring to the colour of the knits of my G&F M422A which I bought from Tom.
