N.O.S. WWII SUPERIOR TOGS CO. INC. 45-5111-AF TYPE B-15A AKA “wrinkled by elephant’s ass”

Well, this one has already been well discussed but here are more detailed pictures for posterity, I had to take out the jacket for inspection and it’s MINT as expected, still smells like new from being over 75 years in the box (not sure if that’s healthy tho) :D It’s amazing to be able to see...

ORIGINAL WWII PERRY SPORTSWEAR 1756 TYPE A-2 & PACKING BOX

As promised, today we have a special! These items came from the same Estate sale of the N.O.S B-15A, and this is probably the first genuine TYPE A-2 packing box pictured ever, at least that I know of... Although I have my doubts that the box belonged to the jacket originally, since they are...

Cold and foggy here in NYC, so rocking an old Eastman B-10 bought second hand over twelve years ago. It's has stitch marks from long removed name tag and squadron patch, but I'm cool with that. In this early version of his B-10, Gary nailed the larger mouton collar characteristic of Rough Wear's B-10 contract.

That looks much better than the small collar of the current offering. Lovely B-10 Grant!

Finally i got my jacket looking good with new knits from Mash and patch from Sean.
I was worried that these darker knits and cuffs from Mash will not look as good as the lighter ones from EASTMAN...but gotta say these look better for me in real life than the eastman ones. The colour is perfect for this jacket in my opinion. Super glad!

Now ready to send it to be painted on the back to finish the project

P.S. it cost me 50€ to have the knits and cuffs replaced and the patch stitched. It was not done super amazing but for the price i cant complain. You only notice if you really dig into it. But i think neither the originals were perfectly stitched so i think it will get closer to an original with time hahaha

At 72 F / 22 C, it was too warm for jackets today. So I settled for a hat so I could look snazzy for my walk with @Nnatalie. Summer isn’t going to be fun. :oops:

(ok, I realize this is technically off topic, since it’s a hat, not a jacket, but in my defense, I posted two jackets last time. :p Seriously though, if people object to it, I can delete this post.)

I think the rule is that hats are ok, but only during pandemics..... ;)

Now there's a jacket that belongs in the "Show us your most worn and well broken in jackets" thread. Good Wear?

It is the Eastman Pearl Harbor American Walnut. I am not sure how old is it as i got in second hand for 350€. But Rob from ELC told me they started making this one in 2001 so who knows exactly how old is it. The leather doesnt look at all like their new leather so i suppose it has some good years on it
