I bought this item as part of my British winter kit requirements given that I''ll be battling over two days at the end of November. The jerkin is very well constructed with good reinforced stitching holding the buttons in place. There is a look a like wartime manufacturers label inside which is a nice touch but slightly spoiled by the mis-spelt title "JERKINGS LEAHTER" instead of "JERKIN LEATHER". Still that is but a minor point. The colour of the jerkin as new is shown spot on in the photo, I have to say mine looks much better (to my eye at least) now that I have used some dark brown leather dye all over and given it a coat of dark tan shoe polish. Once it has had a few good sessions out in the cold and wet it will start to look spot on.

I recieced my jerkin and in comparing to a original british issue jerkin this repro is better in every way. I''ve seen simaliar peices for twice the price. If you are in the market this is the only one to have!

The leather jerkin and the 'private purchase' shirt in the same delivery are both excellent - I've had two different repro jerkins in the past from UK sources and they were nowhere near as good as yours.
