Epaulette accuracy- various repros compared to original Aeros- 21996, 18775, 15142

[foster]

I find the thread very interesting as a matter of fact and can't see the problem with pointing out inaccuracies. Though a critique of other makers like Eastman say might balance things a little.

Eastman places their A-2 pockets too high above the waistband.

 

[Grant]

Yup, agree!

I am too much of a rookie to this site and hobby to judge all of this politics and details...

But I know that DD Acme 21996 (the one posted in-another tread) will have to be on par with the pressure put here.

And that's good for us .

Yep agree. Gary has some great stuff but the details are where they are let down a bit. Collars are too large on RW jackets and folded incorrectly. Pocket placement and construction are oft times weird, but they are head and shoulder above most repro makers in the U.K. for sure.

What do you gents think about Eastman's knitwear?

I like it very much, and his boot stuff through Lofgren is AMAZING!

I concur.

This and the other thread is unpleasant, some of the contributions from the long dormant and now returned self proclaimed expert reek of the snotty arrogance that made me throw in the towel with VLJ more than once in the past. Pathetic.

Do the right thing and take it to email, dirty washing spoils the view.

I agree I am a self proclaimed expert- but if you can find anything wrong with my points by all means argue them! If you are uncomfortable with threads of repro criticism I would avoid them- simply DON"T click on the threads with the big "Z" by them! I think there is a place for both happy high-fivin' and honest criticism here. Am I wrong?

What’s the difference between the G-spot and a golf ball?

Hell , a guy will search for 30 minutes for a golf ball!!



The other day I was having sex with this married woman when her husband came home early.
She got very excited and said to use the back door and said to be quick.
On reflection I should have just left, but it’s not every day you get an offer like that.


The other day I asked my wife if I was the only one she’s been with.

She said, “Yes, the others were at least sevens or eights”

just thought it might be time to take a breath and smile a bit

Yes, the G-spot is similar to the fabled city of El Dorado...

Nowt wrong with honest appraisal, I'm all for it in fact. It's the egocentric baggage as quoted above that quickly becomes tiresome.

Not getting it. Sounds like you don't like me much. Nobody is forcing you to read my threads.

Likewise, nobody is forcing you to respond to mine. I don't know you personally so can only judge by what you've posted since you decided to grace the place with your presence.

But your responding on HIS thread? See how your argument might seem a trifle obtuse?

My comments were of course general in nature, taking in the whole ambiance of some of the content of a couple of threads

Anyway, all is well, life is too short and all that. Pax.

On a lighter note, maybe we should invite these guys then we would have something to mock roundly, and probably all agree on...

I mean they are already using Gary and JC pics to sell their wares to us. I shit you not, I get three of these a week from these places in Pakistan.

Not much point of having a forum like this if you can't critique repros and point out their shortcomings.

I also know there's been some underhand tricks from one or two makers over the years which have caused bad blood so I'm just hoping this doesn't become a shit flinging fight between makers.

Nothing wrong with critiquing the jackets though surely?

Not just theirs, they use Cockpit*s also. I am sure that their jackets looks like on pictures.
