Along with the aforementioned by @MrX94 another reason is the fit. Most people might find more suitable the original fit. This Asian cut with longer body and slimmer top to bottom/less taper might not work for Europeans/Americans. And for this price I'd like something as close to the og as...

I can attest based on my USN pea coats that even the 60s(mid, late) ones feel def larger than the WW2 ones.

Hello everyone, I am the buyer, terrific jacket, the usual LW quality second to none. I'd like to thank @newtojackets. Polite, correct, reactive communication, spot-on information. A+ Having dealt throughout the years both here(dozens) and on eBay (hundreds) I can def say this is one of those...

I wouldn't bother with the knock-offs from Chinese and other country likes. I bet there is no precise traceability of fabric batches, suppliers standards and such. It's whoever can quickly and cheaply produce something resembling to what they need. I've come across their listings on ebay. Things...

I'm speaking for me personally. 1. Given the jacket price / wait time / physical distance I prefer that the jacket fits pretty well. By this I mean not looking 1-2 sizes off, like I'm wearing an older brother's clothes. Ok some creases, in shoulders, here and there are unavoidable given the...

Thanks for the heads-up! It's important to bring awareness on such topics. @scotrace , @Edward To mitigate accounts hacking (frequently due to weak passwords) multi-factor authentication could help. Also applying the latest security updates is a good practice.

The guy asks what is the brand of the jacket. Then "thanks for your answer, cordially" Mais oui mes amis anglophones. Pourquoi ne pas apprendre le Francais ? ;) :p

Cool trousers! Are they solid stitched/thick canvas? These trousers evoke for me the American ninja fighting against the bad ninjas in remote S-E Asia islands: , of course Rambo and Delta Force - the Colombian connection. Aaah the 80/90s and the great action movies. They don't make them as...

It depends for which kind of activity. For hiking / effort the best are the high-tech garments made out of composite materials(Gore-tex,...). Otherwise if it's walking and everyday thing this is what's the most efficient for me: - until -10 Celsius I wear a A-2/G-1 Jacket(medium weight hide); I...

Sorry, maybe I don't understand. 2 posts before it was marked as "sold". Is it another one or the same? :)

Hello, What kind of leather is it? Approx weight/thickness? Dimensions are the same as previous one? Thanks in advance

You're welcome. Putting them on the belt is a good idea, didn't think about it :) Thanks

The denim collecting trend gained momentum the last 10-15 years. Even Levi's has Authorized vintage collection - actually worn Levi denim that is recuperated, cleaned/mended and sold again. The prices are way higher than market average prices. I've seen lately that there is a trend with the...

My LW NYPD in black hh is tagged as 38 and measures almost 22" chest and 18" shoulders. Maybe these patterns are supposed to fit a bit oversized unlike cross-zips?

Hi there! I guess there is not an exact fringed jacket model. Afaik there are several fringed jackets variations (e.g. with conchos). I have one like this. So there is no model to ruin. Also given that the jacket is not expensive I think you won't loose much by personalizing it. Mihai
