Here’s a few on my (short sleeve) t-shirts with prints. Enjoy the variety while you can, because the plain variety are a shit load harder to make ‘interesting’ ... and there’s a lot more of them 

A point to note here - these pics are NOT flat-lay by the very dint of them being on a dummy (not the one typing this), however the forthcoming trousers medley most likely could be classified as flat-lay so please keep your complaints until then to avoid being told to fuck off twice ... 

Anyway:

Freewheelers PowerWear War Movie Collection ‘Rainbird’; Ashy Brown #1545100

Superb

Stop wiping your nose so hard then ...

Not quite the Purple Haze Little Wing magnificence of colour but I really like that tone. It’s good to see leathers in something other than browns and blacks.

The grimace on my face was in preparation for the upcoming banter ...

^l have the Buzz version @Duke Mantee and it's based on the first version of the USN deck jacket c.1942.

It does look similar to the tanker jacket, although it doesn't have those sets of 'folds' (darts?) in the back panel, tbh l can hardly tell the difference either.

And yes it was the precursor of the hook deck jacket and the N-1.

 

Thanks Doc - ’action back’ is the phrase you want.

You can see how similar the tanker and deck jackets are since you’ve got the BR - a great jacket

Nice jacket. I saw it on Hoosier's IG this morning if I'm not mistaken. What is it? Precursor to the N-1?

Yeh - cheeky sod that he is ... well, it might be my jacket but it’s his camera 

I don’t know if it was the precursor to the N-1 exactly, but this style of deck jacket was definitely an early type. I’m sure they were actually just modified tanker jackets.

I fixed @Minet88 as a substitute of Boras in the list. And added @srudy as the owner of two contest pairs!
is there any other fix I need to take not of?

Remember @heyson is beating the shit out of the pair he bought from me (#54)

I think you need more pockets

I should be ok - there’s some at the back and 5 on the waistcoat  ... oh, and a couple on the shirt

amazing pick ups Duke, especially looking forward to the fit pictures of the deck trousers

I think these will be my last significant FW purchases

Incoming ...

(you buy a couple items and you get a free album of photographs included )

Wow - that’s a long wait if you have time to make a belt and bake a pie
