A D-series Brill Bros. I think it was unworn when I got it based on the collar and button hole condition.

Melbourne is having a "Antarctic Blast" the last few days, so I'm getting in some time in my Best Uniform Co (NYC) horsehide coat (buttoned up as a Officer in the Fairmount Park Guards)

Still pretty warm for November around here in the south of Germany

It's a little more broken in now. Still stiff as a board when you first throw it on, but softens up nicely once it's got some heat into it. I was contemplating selling it since the Bronco arrived. A rotation of 4 A-2's is a bit much for me. After wearing it again today, I'm conflicted though. It would not be easily replaced and it fits perfectly.I remember that jacket!

SaintEx, you make it hard to stay indifferent to the DD touch with that picture! Very, very nice and you canned the fit!

It sure does look great doesn't it? I think Norshor and DD get really close to the look of a GW. Just my $0.02 based off of fit pics. I've never had the pleasure of owning a DD jacket.

I respect every type or flavor of ''draping'', but personally I like the character of a stiff skin, it has a ''built'' quality and feel about it. I know I am totally off the beaten track with this.
Lukas, that Star is made for you, knits and beard are almost the same color...

I didn't necessarily mean that DD's jackets could pass for an original. Just that they have the GW look as far as it being a hand tailored garment. ELC, BK, RMC, etc. look a little "commercially mass produced" to me whereas Norshor and DD have that GW esque bespoke look. Maybe it's just a completely cold take on my part...

Oh yeah totally agree with you with the tailored feel with GW and DD and it's not just you. I personally appreciate some characteristic of a mass produced jacket when looking for details or misses or errors that can be observed on originals being made in the thousands vs today's top tiers. In fact I like both approach in my collecting and choosing.
