Quite often limited editions of things are numbered,wether it be bourbon or clothing. Many years ago I had a limited edition 75th Anniversary Schott Bros. Jacket,and while it wasn’t numbered I had a certificate of authenticity stating what number the jacket was,which helped justify the price I was selling it for 15 years later. I think there were some jeans last year that were signed by Haraki and numbered. Thought that was a nice touch that may have contributed to some peoples enjoyment of the jeans. Just a thought.

Your receipt is proof,if you are worried about the price maybe this is not the jacket for you,as I said it is only a number it does not add anything to the beauty of the jacket.

@Jett129 I hear what you’re saying, Jett. I like the idea of numbering limited edition items. Adds a bit of character to the run and makes it feel a little more special.
Further…the idea of a world tour for this jacket would be badass!! I’d love to take a leg. Honestly, at first this jacket didn’t call out to me. Def growing on me more and more.

@Germinal Personally I just removed those from the hem on my M65s, never use them. Kept the drawstrings at the waist though. (Just untie one end and pull it out).
-
@JunkPants this is a good option. Thank you.

I don't think it was s design choice as such, I think it is a nod to the original.
That said, I don't like them flapping around and find them super annoying. So I cinch the hem to the diameter I like (I'm never going to need to adjust it, the way I wear stuff anyway), knot the cord at the cord exit points and then cut off the dangly bits.
-
A unique and interesting M65 variant....I just registered for an inventory notification!

Be careful doing that, as I’m finding that as we get older there are a lot more dangly bits that can get in the way

It’s a great looking coat. I am eager to see the measurements. Worth every penny if it fits
-
@Alex - have any of the crew been lucky enough to wear this over the last month or so? Would be intrigued to see how it fades.
-
@Crispy-Heron No, we have not put it through it's paces yet. It's been a little cold recently, but I may start wearing it this week
-
@Alex - true about the weather. When you do, update pics would be cool, if poss?
