Interested in this kit if it becomes available!

Like what I'm seeing so far. Not a big fan of smooth leathers and prefer something with a bit of grain. Goatskin, perhaps? The red would be my choice ... Command of course, but for me red is harder to pull off, while that stealthy dark blue is turning my head as a jacket that can be worn daily...

Interested as well. Thanks

Ordered 2 but only because I don't drink! Maybe I'll add two more later on!

Yeah, Banzai88, I wish I had the original colour though, lol. The black one is intact but it does have fabric glue holding the lacings down. I will never let the jacket go, so no big deal for me.

Hi. Yes, they worked a treat! Thanks again! The jacket is fully made in Japan. It's just like an original and includes the tail and the hood... all of which I have left in both jackets as I couldn't bear to remove them! Jacket was bought December 5, 2022 so this was fresh off the rack based on...

Here is my interpretation of the crew jacket to add to the many here. After years of sitting on my Mk3 jacket and at least four attempts to dye it (and never being happy with the colour), I decided to leave it in it's current green/grey state and finish it off. Over a number of years I...

That's a good idea. Thanks. Now time to look up the closest pink piping...

Banzai88 is handling a couple of new stencils for me and can't wait to get em! Thanks so much. Moving close to finishing. Won't be completely screen accurate but it will work for me. No piping planned for the collar though, too daunting to sew on even though pink has a big place on the...

Hi Adam, wow! When you said you would provide a tutorial, I didn't expect the above. This is a great reference and will be a big help... By coincidence, when measuring and cutting I came to the same height conclusion as you! lol

Foam brushes...I 'll check them out. Thanks

Joberg, thanks for taking the time to offer your advice. I wish I had clear-coated the card now. It was about 1mm thick and sourced from an arts supply store. Perhaps something heavier would have been better. Using weights is another thing I neglected to do. I taped the card down, but it was...

Having a go at a Kane version jacket (got my Mk3 from Merliner back in the day!) and pleased with my minimal efforts and a lot of help from SG-RB's excellent sleeve lacings. However, my attempt at the Nostrom lettering on the back has turned into a bit of a mess. Years ago, Banzai88 was kind...

Was just writing in anticipation... nothing available yet... sorry if I worded that confusingly previously...

Hi Adam, Just got my shirt and trousers a few days ago. I thought there was something extra in the box because of the weight! So you can imagine my surprise when it was only a shirt and trousers built of seafoam, haha. Definitely not seafoam though, these are heavyweight and made to last...
