Desert camo is actually not bad.
Very impressive jacket brand new, still had the tags on it.

Couldn’t resist, just picked up a brand new Tennier gen1 jacket.
Only down side, but it’s minor really is it’s desert camo and not woodland.
I’m not too worried about that, (I’m sure the carp won’t mind lol) more concerned about keeping warm and dry.

Get a photo of an ultra cool young thing, sitting cross legged, on a really low bedchair. If he has tattoos and a beard, winner winner, steak for dinner.

This jacket could break all records, sell for £10k.

Just call it a carp fishing jacket and double your money. I’m sure some millennial will buy it

One in the UK (lying about being the real deal) as Gary pointed out, well spotted Gary.

Noj, there is currently no Tennier Industries ECWCS mk1 available on fleabay in the UK. If you have a mint one... It will sell really well.

Put it on at a starting bid of £100- £150, watch the bids fly in. Every time I see some cool young thing recently, they all have one of these jackets on. Word has spread. None on fleabay UK tells a story to. When I bought mine, they had tonnes on there from same seller. Listed as Grade 1 second hand. Mine still had the issue tags on, and had never been worn.

If yours is mint, it will go for very good money.

Having had one for six years... If I ever need one, I will happily pay full US RRP, and all the import taxes if I can't get one in as new condition. And get a new one shipped over. That will probably cost me a fortune, don't care, worth every penny and more.

I'd happily pay £150 for a mint second hand one in my exact size. Worth every penny.

Depends where you are. If you shop in the states, you can pick up a mint one from 50-100 bucks. There’s an abundance of them there. You’ll likely pay more or the same for a tatty one in the UK. Sometimes bargains come up. The gen1 are getting old now, but a very good jacket for fishing or outdoors stuff.
You know they’re good when everyone tries to copy them.

Yeah, he doesn’t know what he’s selling mate... the label in the photo’s says Tennessee Apparel.
They are the same though anyway.
Like you say, better to go with a minter from the states, there’s plenty of them over there, especially in the large size.

( MEASURES - 26.5 " ARM PIT TO PIT / SLEEVE IS 28" FROM ARM PIT TO CUFF END / 31" BASE OF COLLAR TO HEM )"

That's the description of that link mate. He says it's a Tennier. I got mine brand spanking new from a UK seller for £80. It had never been worn. Them days are long gone now. You will get one from the states though as you say in perfect nick.

So I totally agree about US Ebay. I'd pay the high postage for a mint nick one if I needed one, they sort the customs payment to. Everyone might not have the money like us though. If I only had £50 to spend, I'd buy that jacket hands down. It's so much better than anything else for £50.

Paulie, That one you’ve linked is made by Tennessee Apparel, but yes the same as the Tennier.
I recommend people check out eBay in the US, I bought one in almost new condition for 50dollars.
Yes, there’s a shipping fee, but there’s many more to choose from and a lot of new old stock, or barely used ones.
