PB jackets are quality made and do look the thing on the first glance, but why the hell must they always slap inner pockets in all of their jackets although they shouldn't be there in points of accuracy

Burt,

They are a German company, with production in Europe. Their sizing is sufficient for us bigger guys. To pour some water into the wine: They definitely get an A+ for effort but the authenticity of most of the military stuff is way off. Just as if they decide to make something, then notice that they cannot get the proper material, but do it anyway...

This might still be acceptable... If they wouldn't "decorate" their stuff with a fake history... Check out the website and look for the 1941 Tanker jacket, canvas, inside pocket, no correct backing construction, wrong colored knits.... But hey, it's the famous private purchase jacket worn by officers... A steal for EUR 279,-...

For the last 10 years, I had various shoes, shirts, jackets, pants, and vest... Every single piece made after specs or "an original", and every piece was odd in one way or the other. The craftsmanship on the other hand was always immaculate....

So, check the measurements, better try stuff on before buying it...

Best regards,

Ties

Just reminds me on another company - noble house. Must be a german thing....

I'll have to take a closer look, but the inside pocket is just sewn on and I think it should be easy to remove if you don't like it.

An old thread, but I thought I'd add some wear photos after I bought this jacket.

I really like the fit!

Seems on older PB jackets those knittings have been kind of "weak" - compared to the very first photos in this thread yours look much more trim ...

Yes, they are very trim. Work well. Time will tell how they perform.
