What jacket(s) are you wearing at the moment?

Old bloke, ELC RW B-3, Jeep complete with rebuilt transmission off on a jolly to top it up with fifty quids worth of E5. First refuel since the transmission went "clunk, clunk bang 2nd gear only for you chum" type noises back in August.
Chilly photo op at the 96th BG H memorial which is local to yours truly....
No idea why this phone camera makes the Jeep OD appear shiny as it isn't IRL.

And a beauty it is! Been wearing mine quite a bit as well.

looks very authentic, stencilled on quickly, piece work one would assume... here's my H&L Block M422A, I think they were the only maker to use yellow on the USN.... is that correct ?

Sorry, but I haven't the foggiest notion about manufacturers. I saw an old white stencil and a dirty yellow stencil on jackets on our site. I simply went with the yellow as an "artistic" choice. A bit more eye-catching when I turn up the collar.
Yours is a nice guide, thanks for showing that.
"Authentic" hahaha. Re-enactors; the bane of a costumer's and director's existence. They are good about muzzle discipline, though. More than that pathological liar and well-known killer, alex baldweener.
When I do up a kit for something, my guide is, it doesn't have to be authentic, it just has to look right. Like the false fronts on the set of a western town.
Cheers

Great looking GW … RW.
I know that you have a great collection of originals as well . Is this one still your favorite overall jacket or is it your favorite repro ?

Favorite repro - it's against some fairly stiff competition if we're including originals. the United Sheeplined A-2, RW 18091, W&G AN-J-3, and Werber 7823 are all candidates.

GW 27753 today

 

[London Cabbie]

Yes imdeed! A great day was had by all. I had the good fortune to spend some time with the one and only "B-Man" himself and he took me through his incredible collection of jackets. What a terrific steward he is for these great pieces of history and I'll tell ya my jacket knowledge went up exponentially today just being able to experience the lovely examples Burt takes care of. He even let me try on a few so here is a very cool patched Cable from the 10008 contract. Thanks Burt! You are THE man.

The dog likes it too which is always a plus, or at the least doesn't mind it ;-)

That's real nice Burt, you should wear it a lot more.

I imagine, living at Burt's house, Fred's developing a keen eye for fine leather.

Apparently Fred won't go for a walk unless the leash is handmade by John. Burt tried with an ELC leash but Fred was unimpressed, peed on it and walked away ;-)

Burt, there's something fuzzy stuck to your foot.

I think Fred's made his position very clear: Eastman leashes are over-priced, and while we can all agree that the materials they use are very nice, Fred would rather have a leash made for the dog who's going to be wearing it.
