Burt,
This is the jacket that is the subject of my ebay thread. Perhaps if more people report it then it might be taken down.

If only ebay would realise that this type of listing makes tge ebay experience worse !

It would seem saying something is different to what it actually is is fine with Ebay, so I thought I'd pop over and see if I could sell this bugatti

I think we’ve all seen this type of stuff ignored by EBay long enough to know that their bottom line is $$$$ !!!

Respectfully disagree. I' own both BR and Eastman B-10's and Gary's is more authentic in cut, fabric and alpaca he uses. Also, I find the Eastman aplaca is warmer than my Buzz.
As a side note, the old Real McCoys Japan made the best Stagg B-10 years ago (not the current ones). Hands down, still my favorite reproduction B-10.

Respectfully disagree…I had a WW2 RW B-10 and the ELC B-10 I had was far far away .. in authenticity especially… not to mention the cuffs and liner….
Fully agree though about the older RMcC’s B-10… they were unmatched.
Details were already discussed in an older post.
Anyway, I fully respect your opinion and experience.. mine was just different.

thanks for the pics. Here's a pic of my Eastman B-10. The shell material, alpaca lining and knits are all a very close to my original B-15. Also, the alpaca lining is almost identical to the old RMJ Stagg in thickness and warmth.

Original Roughwear B-10 and B-15’s are made of different materials.
For comparison WWII Roughwear B-10 …

I doubt it is not tight weaving (wind proof) as original did.
I.E. RMC‘s AL-1 ,made with true repro fabric, it’s price close to their A2‘s.
