Notre has automatic 20% off at checkout. Wish they carried the leopard vest. The Sebago collab are cheap if your size is available.

I’ve seen an increasing amount of secondhand BDUs with the flap cut out. It can be kind of annoying.

It’s one of the main things that puts me off the BDU jacket, the flap annoys me being slightly visible when the jacket’s worn open.

I sewed the flap on my BDUs to the inside of the jacket. That way, the flap's not visible, but I can always bring it back if I have a change of heart or choose to resell.

That’s a good idea. I lusted after an Orslow one for years, only to be put off by the flap when I finally got my hands on it and almost immediately returned it.

Admittedly I’ve never actually tried on an EG BDU jacket but it would’ve great if the flap was removable or there were some internal buttons so that you could fold it back and secure it inside the jacket.
