Chandler, no worries you are a gentleman and mocking others is not in your forum habit!

Bullet holes from the previous owner? Oh and around the neck is not the right way to wear a late Victorian truss

Is this some reputation I've garnered from being honest and authentic?

Tell me *you* didn't look sideways at that horse collar?

 

[Smithy]

Over-priced bullshit.

The "WWI Aviator Coat" has a bloody zipper on the pocket. Yeah because lots of flying coats were using zippers during the war?! Morons.

And to top it off I went and had a look on their website and for their marketing bumf and for this coat they have two 1 Sqn, AFC chaps wearing probably Burberry, Gamages or Dunhill flying coats which are an entirely different design.

Fools and their money are soon parted.

Now you've gone and done it. I can tell you that, as an avid knitter, @Nnatalie was traumatized when she saw that sweater.

Chandler,

Oh no, I didn't mean any underlying idea in my post, you are a gentleman!

Ah nice, so Platon is finally making long versions

 

[Kermit3D]

The description text that accompanies this blue B-3 "3/4" is just amazing :

"History.
Inspired by the B3 model.
Winter jacket in sheepskin varnished created in 1932 by the Army Air Corp inspired by the A2 model.
This model with the RAF of the Royal Air Force is one of the most popular winter jackets.
Made from Colorado sheepskin to keep it historically authentic."

The luxury market often rhymes with ridicule

That, my dear Watson, has nothing to do with rhymes but rather a lot to do with what is commonly known as bollocks!

I wonder if that B-3 can be had with pink for the "League of Their Own" pilots...

 

[Kermit3D]

This "lady" who loves Chanel blazers comes to mind... she was looking to buy a Real McCoy B-6 long, because she could afford it and "because she's worth it".
I would have loved to show her this long B-3 jacket ! The 6000 euros of the jacket would have flattered her.

[Silver Surfer]

Why wasn't Jesus born in Australia?

Because they couldn't find three wise men and a virgin.

The tall rubber boots we used to call sheepin boots. And Velcro gloves.

 

[Pa12]

[Silver Surfer]
