Sir I understand that But my point is there that what really is authentic
referring to pics and those pics are from real issued items - after 75 years plus our grand childrens children will and shall be arguing here abd "what is authentic" Working in mil i really can say authentic is what you get. period.
Without taking no part or clarifying the opinion of authentic - Tell me Sirs where to find this holy grail of aurhentic if you guys are not satisfied of seeing pics of normal, usual and common mil specs items
I shall happily turn towards that heaven and order my jacket from that provider. Just because it is 1:1.
How many parts of uniforms You Sir have ever been wearing in hostile or even in garrison environment.

Well said that man,,,I can almost hear the banjos with that pair,,,
This is a silly argument- in fact operational environments today re NOTHING like WW2 environments- and secondly- what do you know about me specifically? In fact my argument in this thread is that Ken at Aero of Scotland should be less catwalk and more realistic!

No Sir it is not "a silly argument"
Sir it is an argument of a person wearing military garnments in duties commanded and been wearing garnments provided.
Maybe I have never had enough time for this kind of "catwalk" discussion before.
I have always been wearing and using equipment provided. I understand I am working in "not so sexy and well paid profession" but inside that profession I can tell that ppl who are preparing for their mission, that can be the last in their career - they wipe table with this kind of issues. Issues can be like "where to put my extra mags and ammo, is these shades bought by myself strong enough to protect my eyes" These are the issues I personally mean by saying "issues around catwalk". Those jackets and all mil gear are made for purposes of war (surwiving, not to be burned....) I really admire Sir Your skills to say what is "authentic" just by analyzing pictures. I would welcome You Sir to my team in hostile operatinal area and choose gear provided by taxpayers - to see what is "authentic real world".
But as I said along "catwalk" Issues are liitle bit different
In my opinion if You Sir refer authentic - go back to purpose of those jackets made and issued.
No further comments Sir
That is the whole hilarious point here! My thread is straight up- I started it to show cold hard facts with photos. I did NOT know about the bad blood between Ken and DD and in fact I don't know DD and have ever communicated with him. You guys in this forum heaped on all the attendant bullshit- like a dysfunctional family uncomfortable with "feelings" and worried about Daddy Ken's reaction!
Why are you mad at me after tolerating BS like I see in this thread:
Again- look at the photos- follow the path of facts- don't worry- Daddy Ken will be the same...Looks like Diamond Dave is Closing up the Jacket Business
Just saw a message on Facebook that DD is closing up shop as far as jackets go. Sad to hear it having bought one back in 2015. Workmanship was first rate. "Well, looks like we may have come to the end of my jacket business. It's been, something..." "Diamond Clothing Co: Thanks everyone...
Not so familiar with scottish strong accent but I got the point
Hmm fromOperational environments are similar, in those "operational environments" people still get killed, they lose their lives, they lose their limbs they lose their eyes... U name it. Those are operational casualties. In that kind of situations one stich there or here is just piece of crap. Even today those young boys and girls they die waering "issue number". Medic gives a shait when he opens that piece of art just to save the life of an individual. But that is different along catwalk
.
The only "related and rational" picture I have seen here in this context was the picture of M38 offset collar. There was rational ratio of discussion -> "why it is made like that". The rest of this so called "discussion" is in my opinion just against Mr Calder's business and without no real historical background of understanding the "needs and purposes of war".
