Hi Dear Friends

With The Great suggestions from the VLJ friends today we finally made our B3 Jacket, Please check and review its detailed images and inform us about your valuable comments, It takes the efforts of Month's and continuous Research and Development to to have the final results, We spend almost 4 days on the detailed stitching of this first B3 jacket and try our level best to meet all the details with authenticity, We made the proper Sheep Shearling in Proper required colour, Our Patterns for B3 based on an Original Jacket, Each detail is properly followed, Regarding the Buckles we try to find from the market but found no buckles like the B3 has, so we made the proper Die mold work and made the Authentic B3 shaped buckles for our jackets, I can say that on this jacket we paid heavily on its Research and Developments and in the form of materials and stocks, I am pretty sure you will like this and inform us about your kind remarks

Very nice, given the speed of the journey and the beautiful standard achieved so far it feels almost churlish to raise the minor corrections, but by goodness if they are corrected the order book will grow I have no doubt.

100% agree, Stanier! Seeing a jacket as good as this one and immediately saying “great, but x and y are wrong...” leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I’m glad Shawn is always such a good sport about feedback.

 

[stanier]

Agreed - I think the only thing holding back Shawn’s A-2 sales at the moment is that you have to really like that Doniger collar. A more classic style would go over like gangbusters. Maybe not the Aeros though, since I think you’d need a special leather to pull off that mottled look that the leather on the later Aeros has - Diamond Dave was all set to go on it, but then we haven’t heard anything from him in months. My vote (do we get to vote?) would be a Cable contract.

Great post Smithy - don't mention Diamond Dave's Aero - I did it once but I think I got away with it. Said in my best Fawlty Towers' esque tone

 

[mulceber]

Hey, I get that we have similar views on Shawn’s work, but my profile doesn’t look anything like Smithy’s!

Whoops, sorry Mulceber! that'll teach me to slip a quick post in whilst working!

 

[mulceber]

Hah, no worries, Stanier, I was just kidding you.

Looks brilliant, Shawn! I think the pocket might still be a little tall (the pocket on my jacket is 6.5" wide, 6 7/8" tall on the tall side, 4" tall on the short side), but I think the angle on yours is good, and the sleeves look much better. This looks to be a quality repro!

Do you have any thoughts on if/when russet shearling will be available?

 

[flyincowboy]

Woaw amazing i will wait till the final prototype and buy one! What will be the price ? Can you add a
piece of leather for the pull strap? Is possible to get brown russet body?

 

[mulceber]

Holy cow, that's stunning! Beautiful work Shawn, you'll sell a ton of these and especially when winter starts getting closer.

Looks like my new Winter jacket could be a 5 Star B-3 then....

 

[Kennyz]

That jacket is the heat! Well done!

Is possible to get brown russet body?

Last I checked with him, Shawn was interested in eventually getting russet shearling, but had decided to start out with seal. I’d really like to see some russet B-3s as well, and I’m hoping he has an update for us.
