Websites for buying vintage military jackets

[Lash]

I'm looking for websites where I might find old N-1 jackets and navy issue watch caps (besides etsy and ebay). Any suggestions?

I found this one years ago - interesting to look at but I've never bought from it

I'm sure that company will be mentioned. I just bought a flight jacket from then and their description of condition did not match condition of the jacket - they have different ideas of "good" than I do. Caveat emptor, or whatever.

I have bought around twenty vintage military coats (Navy Peacoats and Bridge Coats, and Army Officer Coats) on eBay, and have had good luck so far.

Well, it was tempting for me at one point to buy from them, I think unlike many respectable private sellers, these vintage shops tend to hype the conditions by 1 or 2 grades, at the end of the day, don't trust businessmen(businesswomen) too much.

Must admit E-bay has seen me alright generally & accounts for most of my purchases. Landed a real lemon from a British vintage militaria vendor purchased from their website that turned out to have the stitching coming apart.

purchased bout 80% of my vintage garment via EPAY and so far was lucky enough never to get burned

I have bought good and bad off eBay, one mans good condition is another's poor, same on sizing, Large, small, evena stated size is not always 'your' size.
If you sell stuff, never advertise something as mint even if it is as a buyer will probably say it's not to try to get some sort of reduction.
I for one will not be selling anymore clothing on the Bay, read through the selling terms and conditions and return policies. If the item is not quite up to the buyers expectations though is well described, they can always return it, but should you insist your buyer pays return postage buyers can end up keeping the items and you having to return their cash and postage.

Here's another seller of military jackets: http://www.bellsaviation.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=BA&Category_Code=clothjackets. I have never done business with them so I know nothing about them.
