Hi Group,

Can anyone help find a supplier of WW11 army leather jerkins, (they were brown leather, no sleeves, woolen liner, buttons)...I've done a bit of searching, but can only find a more modern green leather version, with zip.

I have also been stirred into maybe making an F1 'bushcrafter special' has there been a group buying organised for F1 blanks? or the DC4 sharpening stone?

Thanks in advance of a favourable reply,
Best Regards,

Have you looked at Soldier of Fortune?`I know they have a lot of WWII gear.

Just do a search for Jerkin, and it'll come up with the old type as well as the new type. They're about £40..
