Thomas, awesome! Which size is your Bob Dong, please? I am really unsure about overseas sizes. I kinda know how BR fits, not BD, though. What was your mil store in SD? And: I came too late for Josh. Found him 2015 but got sidetracked... now I am whining and mourning. Such great work! Lovely jacket, wunderbar. Congrats. Markusnot today (tto warm today) but yesterdays choice before noon:

Markus,
i got 2 of those 37J1 from BD - both in size 44 and both are about 1 size different from each other. The i'm wearing on the pics is off a pretty early production run with the USN stencil on the chest and a USN leather-nametag. 2nd one i own came without any markings and is smaller - both jackets fit fine anyway ...
Yeah - i got some stuff made by Josh but all "deals" where based on trades so i didn't had to pay the relatively high standard-Prices he usually has - very creative anyway - if you Need some stuff on your jackets get in touch with TIES (FB Name: TIES PATCHART) he did the smaller ones of the 37 i own ...
I do not remember the Name of the shop in SD - been there are couple of times - mostly as a stopover when i came through from Tijuana to California and mostly stayed 1 night only. Awesome City - well i expect you have been there already anyway?
Attached pics of the other 37J1 - again labeled with the same sizetag 44 but smaller than the JOSH one - markings and stencils done by TIES

Great jacket,Thomas, glad you can move and drive. We are all bad with our trips. People are locked at home mostly...

Drug,
i heard about it - we are still free to move around - especially if we have a "reason" to get outside so for each ride i stuff my doggies in the car and Claim all movements as "restroom rides" for my Dogs.
Thumbs up for you and anyone else who is kinda trapped and limited in his house/appartment ...

Unglaublich, Thomas, that's really overwhelming. Indeed they fit fine, each in its own right. I may be wrong but I always went for the more crisper cut close to the body, because "my copilot" told me early that guys usually wear at least 1 size too large. Now, I am not a small guy, and maybe it'll be good to "give more room" now. So I can see your photos to judge noch, the larger and the smaller, are actually quite fine. You have a grand style. As to Josh, I just think he is awsome at creating the human appearance on his jacket work. I've always wanted a pinup painted but then I was never able to decide which jacket and what motiv on it. Luxury Problems I know. As for Ties, I have witnessed his talent here. What a bunch of enthusiasts. Makes isolation bearable.Markus,

Hi Alex
The material is cotton canvas, I got this original in mint condition but the color is a bit different from Eastman’s version.
I guess this material should be easy to find.
