Got it today, I'll stick some pics up tonight if I'm not dead from 5-a-side.

Initial impressions are that the colour is better than my badged one (which I don't care, so ha! :lol: ), but the quality is several strata below what I have. The pockets (from memory) look wrong, the cut is definitely wrong and the lining is of a canvassy type as opposed to the lovely silky lining in my current one. It also reeks of turps and the wool is very stiff. It might be worth seeing what I can do with it, but I'll evaluate it better, with my badged bluse, over the next few days.

Yeah, this is second pattern, bhut the pockets look a bit further south of where they should be. Just had it on and it's not too bad.

SOF can get fooked as far as i'm concerned. Phoned up to buy a Heer helmet decal set. Got quoted £2.99 for P&P on it. Two sodding pounds and ninety nine pence for something that could be put in an envelope and posted on a single 1st class stamp.

My response was blunt, to the point, with "i'm buggered if i'm paying that - goodbye" after it.
