B-3's / B-10's on Ebay?

Do you have links?

 

Don't you mean a shearling B-3 ? A normal sheep hide is sheep skin on the underside with sheep's wool ( shearling ) on the outside. It is reversed to put the B-3 jacket together. Never heard of a sheepskin B-3 lined with mouton.

 

Mouton is short sheared and processed sheepskin that has been dyed to resemble beaver or seal most often used for collars or sometimes a plush lining.

 

They don't say (unless I am missing it) what condition these jackets are in. If in very good or better condition, these prices are incredible.

 

Looks like spam.

 

The B-3 looks very plush and nice although not historical accurate ( has hand warmers ) if the item matches the photos. That can be the catch considering the very low price. On eBay and elsewhere many times the merchandise received is not on par with what is shown.

Well, to be fair, this is quite a reputable vintage/repro brand in China, and not some brandless knockoff on ebay.

 

Umm, that is a grey area here.... Bob Dong is a quality maker, but their product lines are somewhat 'similar' to certain brands from Japan and US. The patterns of their repro military jackets look remarkably similar to Buzz Rickson or Real McCoy's, they have a premium footwear line which have styles similar to RedWing and the Whites etc. And last but not least.... denims. But then again, these are not patented designs, if you see them as generic items, Bob Dong do make quality items.

 

You get what you pay for...

Also, there has been many an instances, where these online Ebay sellers, use pics they have dropped off the inter-web.
So, surprise, surprise when the jacket you receive looks nothing like the Goodwear you thought you were getting for $100.

 

Both Bronson and Bob Dong make a fine B-10 repro (and MA-1s, B-15 etc...). These are copies of Real McCoy B-10 repros... for a fraction of the cost. Good quality jackets and great buys for the price. The one in the link was unbranded.... Warning bells. If you want a Bob Dong or Bronson jacket (any of them), they are still relatively cheap, available on Ebay, but make sure its what it says it is.... Not a copy, of a copy, of a copy...

 

I would say Bob Dong according to my own experience, but statistically n=2. My Bob Dong Tanker is excellent, all stitches are perfect where as my Bronson B-10's front pockets are unevenly sewed. But some say Bronson's pattern are more faithful.
