There is currently a bushbuck big four jacket for $200 at the moment. Reads ok, anyone got one of these? $200 (1/2price for the next a day or two)

They wear that shit (Stoney Creek) because they are paid to do it, not because it is any good. Stay the fuck away from it! Far too expensive for mostly rubbish. As has already been pointed out, the Milsup stuff if Brit is good and you can afford to wreck it, replace it and still be better off than the branded crap cost.
