stealthytyler Posted December 15, 2018 Share #30 Posted December 15, 2018 All I meant is that if the authentication of the material is inconclusive with multiple varying opinions, looking at other details such as stitching and etc can help assist in potentially nailing down its authenticity. Thats all I meant by that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken88 Posted December 15, 2018 Share #31 Posted December 15, 2018 Tyler, you'd think this topic would be about assisting in authenticating a cover, but reading through all of it, OP's single concern seems to be the fabric. So if it's a cover reproduced using original fabric and OP is happy with the answer that the fabric is authentic, who cares right? It's not the first time I've seen him get personal in topics when all people are doing is trying to help out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manayunkman Posted December 15, 2018 Share #32 Posted December 15, 2018 It's hard to understand what the thread was about because the OP knew all along the cover was good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cloth on the cover is the same first run print. Very similar to the cloth on the cover. It will be dug out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its hard to understand why you are posting on this thread when you don't have anything to actually say about the print and cloth. If you want to say something to me in depth about your personal issues please PM me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aef1917 Posted December 15, 2018 Share #37 Posted December 15, 2018 I have a painted M1, and I know it's good because it's a real WWII front seam swivel loop McCord. No need to look at any other details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vintageproductions Posted December 15, 2018 Share #38 Posted December 15, 2018 You know Owen that material reminds me of the experimental piece you bought at SOS a few years. Material is different then the "norm" but it was 100000000000% right and original. I would buy this in a second and not worry about the keyboard commando's on Facebook think. They sit all day behind a computer looking at photos and never adventure out to look at real pieces and handle variants that don't fit the norm.

kammo-man Posted December 16, 2018 Author Share #47 Posted December 16, 2018 Ok Just got the experimental jacket and the cover pic as you can see the jacket is made from several different batches of early pattern print using vivid lime greens This jacket is mint unwashed condition I got this at the sos and didn’t have the money to buy the similar marked pants Though they were standard cut The cover is light print but still a bit different Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

double_tilt Posted December 16, 2018 Share #50 Posted December 16, 2018 Hi I am the owner of the cover. The objections to its authenticity had to do with the lack of little slivers of base fabric tan color not being present between camo splotches, in specific the dark green and brown splotches. In general, I pick a piece of camo up in hand, look at it, and its usually obvious. All these details are interesting tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
