Yes, interesting indeed. I mean it doesn't look fantastic, not much like a real W&G M442... but or what he paid... Beat the 'ell out of it.
You get what you pay for I suppose, pity the poor little soul in the sweat shop too!
Thank you Vicvery, very well done, b-man. now, replace those shitty collar clasps barrels, and install a wwll talon puller, and my man, you will have your self one helova respectable bronco repro.....regardless of what some might opine.
Hey, not bad! And it's an M-422, not M-422A. Basically all that means is the front pockets are the same size, but its nice to see a prewar jacket paid tribute to in the low price range.https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/review-customize-m422-and-55j14-jacket-on-ebay.94522/
Interesting review on one of the Pakistan made $200 jackets
I just received mine and I am somewhat not so impressed with the leather and color. Ironically, mine is too brown for a russet. I was expecting a redder/oranger hue. The leather also feels rather thin and supple, not what I am used to with horsehide. So I don't know. I guess I'm gonna ship it back.Just wanted to post a couple of updated photos of my AVI Russett Bronco. If you remember, I wasn’t really happy with the orange tone of the Russett Goatskin AVI used in the production of their A2 Bronco. Thru a lengthy process and several applications of various leather products, I’ve been able to darken the hide to what I think is a pretty nice shade of Russett goatskin . I will assure all of you, this is the last time you will have to look at this jacket but thanks for looking!

If you’re really wanting a Bronco can recommend Headwind’s version. But it’s a true chocolate brown.I just received mine and I am somewhat not so impressed with the leather and color.
