Hey Butte, what color/shade is the leather? Thanks!

Oh man, if only I had the extra dough!

Still. They're passing it off as an ~1150$ jacket. RE6~60USD, RE6 SE~120USD. 1300-120=1180.. For that price I could get an AWESOME jacket. Not some rubbish ChiCom pleather disaster..

Wested?

How much did it go for?

PM'd.

Sure, no problem. Wow! 46 to a 40. I'm strange like that. I have a 46R Excelled G-1 that is tightish on me(losing weight) and an old motorcycle jacket which I can't identify a maker or hide on-Looks almost identical to Snake Plissken's jacket in Escape from NY that is variable from 48-54...

Looked at it..their B-3 is way pricey and just doesn't look right to me. The jacket Edward posted looks brilliant to me. If only I had the extra scratch to drop on one of the high-end repros. EDIT: But, again, wouldn't want to play hacksaw with one of the good ones. But I understand I'm pretty...

Hey Nick, thanks for the info. Would you be able to throw a few pics up of it being worn or outside? I looked at the link, just trying to figure out how red the jacket is. Thanks in advance!:D

Ah. My initial-as heretical as it sounds-plan was to chop the sleeves and use it more like a vest. I have other stuff to wear underneath it. I just didn't want to get one of the pricey ones and defile it like that. In the end I'll probably end up going with a HH A-2. ..Minus the sleeve chopping...

Hello everyone. Something that I'd like to draw on your wealth of knowledge for: Has anyone seen/worn/reviewed the Wested B-3 Sheepskin jacket? http://www.wested.com/memphis-belle-sheepskin-b3-2-p.asp I am looking at a few different jackets at the moment for riding my motorcycle and was...

Anyone know where one can acquire tins of the flavoured cigarillos in the US? I had a tin of Cojimar "Conga" or White Russian flavoured ones and loved them, but heard Obama was cracking down on the flavoured cigars and cigarillos due to them being "too appealing to the underaged" or some such...
