New GW No name B-3

[Roughwear]

Here is the next GW B-3. The combination of dark seal and redskin fleece combined with russet facings reminds me of the ELC Perry. http://www.goodwearleather.com/photos/T ... oName_46R/

True John. What do you think of the size of the collar?

 

[omarco]

if you buttoned it up you'd need a periscope to see the ME-109s.

[bretron]

Not exactly a slimming jacket :lol:

beautiful jacket, I would buy it. Collar looks a bit high and heavy, no matter it's amazing

Looks just the way we like them from RMNZ. Some might say it is on the large size, but I have several WW 2 photos of crew wearing jackets with similar collars. I would prefer a little more shine but I am a magpie when it comes to sheepskin.

I would prefer something a little more shiny too.

looks like he doesn't feel cold

 

[omarco]

the more I look at it the more I like it.. personally I love the dull finish of the skin

Very nice jacket indeed.

Looks a bit short body wise on John. I had a 44R HLB original that measured 29" down the back. An original Roughwear redskin size 42 was 27". My current ELC Perry 44R 27 1/2".
Eastman seem to have changed their pattern a bit over the years. Slightly longer body and shorter arms which looses the square box look.

A B-3, and maybe an M-444 as well? More jackets I would love and will never afford! Curse you, John Chapman!!! :x

True John- very similar size collar to my RMNZ Rough Wear.

Personally, I like the finish on Johns better though. Mine looks like a boy racers WRX on a Saturday night its so shiny!

Steve,

I noticed the shine on your RMNZ in another thread and I thought you had applied something to the jacket to give it that shine...didn't know that RMNZ's came shiny.
