The wise elders of this forum were really on to something when they went on banging about "nothing beats an original"

I haven’t contributed anything to this thread in a while because it’s been too warm for a jacket down here. But, it isn’t getting any cooler and I’m not getting any younger, so here’s one for today . A 1968 Star G-1, Size 46, from the Vietnam War era.

Do you know which colour was the most common on original’s?

 

[mulceber]

btw, are those jeans you're wearing the Dubow with your Brave Star ultra heavies?

 

[B-Man2]

Do you know which colour was the most common on original’s?

The original DuBow 20960 was made of Russet Horse in August of 1941 according to the ELC A2 Manual. The zip was an M-41 Crown #5 .
It had dark mid brown knits .

LOL… no they are Brave Star but I haven’t even worn the Sumo 21 ounce jeans yet. It’s just been too warm and the break in on those things will take forever .

C'mon @B-Man2 Burt - the nicest - in my opinion - A2 i've seen for a while

wearing this thing you need a baseball-bat to keep the groupies away

the jacket looks spot on
