Would you stick up some pics of the collection? I started off with an A2 Eastman and then went for civilian repro jackets. I like the military jackets but prefer the civilian ones for me now. Wouldn't mind a D1 for the cold weather though.

Get this, about a year ago I gave away one of those Irvins (older type 41/42 merino wool shiny outside size 44 that Eastman do) nothing wrong with it alittle worn at the front maybe , I just wanted the newer type ,I gave it to St Vincents De Paul. Like to think its keeping some tramp warm somewhere
