None of the above comments seem to have a title - what does one write here?

fast delivery, good price, seems well made. Now gone for tailoring due to my awkward shape. Will be better after a few washes, I think. Advice earlier seems to be replace plastic buckle with a metal one? Sure I can find one somewhere.

Awesome look, unbeatable price, fast shipping.

This jacket is a super money value. It's well-made, durable and looks just right for chasing after Rommel in the Western Desert, going on safari, or or if you just like a retro sort of outdoorsy look. I now have two of them; the first one having been a gift. I liked it so much that I added a second one. I do find the sleeves a tad long on my 50L size, but that should be easy enough to have altered. Also. I'm not a fan of the plastic belt buckle they come with; it should be metal, but that this price... I'm willing to overlook this and find a brass one somewhere myself. As others have commented, shipping was very fast.
I've noticed a few other comments saying that the jacket is much darker than the one in the product photo, and indeed it is, however I am a professional photographer and can categorically state that the photo as it appears on the website is over-exposed by at least a full stop (twice as much light as should be on it) and so the jacket appears lighter than it should. The colour will also fade a bit with repeated washing.
All in all, a lovely product and if only they were also available in jungle (OD) green I'd be certain to buy two more.

On the whole a nice jacket but the plastic belt buckle lets its down, both in appearance and also because it doesn't stay pulled tight. I would of liked a metal buckle that could be properly fastened.
