Okay Peter I took the measurements. The best I could do was 18in. I'm not sure what that is in centimeters and it would take me about 6 years to find a conversion on this computer. (very slow)

Originally posted by ElvisI only took one measurement so Maybe I should take more later. I have read fakes run at 44cm. This one seems to be 46. Don't know whether that is good or bad as the say 50 with variation with originals.
I´m sure some fakers are aware of this to. Having the correct pattern is not the same as original, but could be one step closer to judge the jacket.
I had a fake one with 43 cm. That made each spot rather small as the whole design had been scaled down to fit around the newmade rolls.
Cheers.

There are originals that have shrunk thus confusing the CM measurement in the pattern repeats. Elvis I am going to PM you on some of the criteria I have learned to look for on the DOT tunics that I don't want to talk about on the open forum for the reason most of us fear....

Total fake .
These set burned many French collectors ten years ago and was later "distribued" by manion's,N&T, and ...some reputable dealers
There is many details wrong on these..but , just a first remark about the lining..have you ever seen a Italian vvvv grey satin similar to this one ?
Please to compare with the classical and real one,you will find many example on this forum .

This is an older repo set .
These sets came out at least 15 years ago .
If not couple of years more than that .
I have seen some good friends burned by them back around this time .
There was also a panzer set in the same fabric floating around the same time .
A set was bought from Tredwin in the 1990s as real .
This was in London .

Well hell that kinda makes me sick. I didnt pay going rate and enough time has passed to were it doesnt hurt as bad. But it still hurts. I should have known better. the guy was a douche. Older guy that said his dad brought it back from germany in the 50's. I can wear the pants but the top is way to small. Odds are Ill probably never get a real set now.
