Hi, I still don't own a good quality repro so time passes with studying all the details and drooling. So another subject I would like to get some info on is the size tag inside the patch pocket. How is it? Is it made of paper? cotton? synthetic? what? Is it one cut piece? is it folded...

Have a few questions guys 1. Is it true that the snaps that go under the collar are smaller than those that go in the pocket flaps? 2. Does this apply for both types of snaps used? i.e. ball stud and ring type? 3. What is the difference in size, e.g. how the ball stud snaps measure in mm or...

How can I edit my post please?

Thanks for all your advice guys i.e. mashing, wetting the collar etc. Though all I asked was the measurements. Can anyone provice measurements please?

Hi guys, I am thinking about buying a Rough Wear 1401 from Eastman but am a little concerned about what people say that it has a clown collar. I wear size 40 and I kindly request anybody who owns RW 1401 from Eastman to give me the measurements of the collar Collar length at base...

Hi and thanks very much for your answer. I understand you have lots of jacket and thus maybe you can help me with my question below. I have an OK jacket from a B class vendor and it's size is 38. The pit to pit measurement is 22 1/4. The overall fit is great but the epaulets are 7'' (18cm)...

Can you tell me what is th length of the epaulet on this jacket please? Thanks

Any comments on this jacket? Vendor says it's an exact WWII replica.

Patterson, Are you suggesting that if I run hot water on the marked areas and dry in the sun, there will be some shrinkage? Will it work on horsehide?

Nothing against LW. I just don't like the product. Yes, maybe I could get a G&B but I thought this one would fit better. I didn't want a second hand jacket so Eastman, Aero etc were out of question

I don't consider Lost Worlds, but which Aero models have the best shoulder fit? Actually, the fit of my jacket is much better that what can be seen in the pics I posted. I am quite happy about that. I paid $555 incl. shipping and the jacket is custom because it normally has 3 patches and a...

It's a Cockpit (ex Avirex) Speaking about droop, which maker makes them with less droop?

I also don't like the drop of the shoulders. I like them squared just as Eastman makes them. Can afford an Eastman tho. The jacket is thin and light. I don't know how HH is supposed to be, please guide.
