Hello Folks,

i never heard about this maker. So i ordered two of these Sessler B-10's from Japan to figure out the right size. They where offered for a good price compared to a Buzz, McCoy ect.You know them.
You can't compare this Sessler B-10 100% with these Japan Premium Makers.Ok.But as you can see from the Photos and reading the description this repro is really not bad.
What i like the most and think is most authentic is the cloth, pockets, flaps, gussets, Spec Label and so on..Haha.You see, i like my B-10.
So anyway.Here we go.

It looks remarkably similar to a B-10 jacket offered by another US based company. Only the label looks different.
