Spilling a beer or two on it will help to break it in! :lol: :lol:

A stunning jacket.

Back then the Camouflage jacket had to be spot on to make yourself look invisible and blend it with your surroundings and this maker nailed it.

It has now been transformed into a 1940s/early 50s flight jacket! Amazing!

 

[ausreenactor]

Wooden have figured that?
