Thanks for the post and being so candid with your thoughtsI was drawn in to the H&M cameraman yesterday while at the mall. I previously knew off the authentic version but not much about the details. After purchasing the rip-off I went home and educated myself more on the heritage of the original NC cameraman. After my research I realized that my conscious will not likely let me keep the cheap rip-off...so it will be going back to the store.
But I did manage to take a pic this morning for any interested parties. Fit seems good, details and quality are surprisingly solid as well. The top blue part is pretty bright though.
No you are right, the only source for the patch design is from the photo of the sherpa wearing a wool suit type coat with kevlar patches.Thanks for those.
I've not seen any photos of Mallory (or Tensing) wearing a jacket with shoulders protected by ventile (or anything similar).
It's not brilliant but here is a bigger photo of the source photo for the patch design of the Tenzing and Mallory jackets
You can clearly see the Kevlar patch coming over the shoulder line on to the top of the arm and the long rectangular elbow patch
