    A-1 Jacket / A1 Flying Jacket - The ultimate Golden Era flying accessory!

    Flashman, You found the site! No images of a zip A-1... just doing it for tastes. And yes, THOSE pockets are way too high. I'm doing the correct/more common, lower pockets. Mark just doesn't have images. He spelt it out all on the phone- very fun talk. Oh, he used to have images...

    A-1 Jacket / A1 Flying Jacket - The ultimate Golden Era flying accessory!

    Hey Guys, I too am finally taking the A-1 plunge... Placed an order with Mark of Superior Jackets. Talked on the phone and did opt for something slightly custom- straight A-1 but zipper front. Not his "Lincoln Brigade" jacket... just zip front. Two months or so...not nearly as bad as...

    G1 with Leather Collar? Help/Advice/Opinions

    For this jacket its purely being purchased for looks and personal tastes... Don't care for 100% accuracy... Just tough, well made fairly affordable with 1940s early 1950s feel. Everyone, thanks so much for the opinions and insights. Lando, specifically, great help! Clint PS. Jan...

    G1 with Leather Collar? Help/Advice/Opinions

    Lando, That is EXACTLY what I wanted to see! Thanks for the insight on the snaps... didn't think of it. PhantomFixer mentions those snaps and he's right. I had a jacket with normal leather collar (no snaps) which on the motorcycle, at just the right speed, would begin to flutter and smack...

    G1 with Leather Collar? Help/Advice/Opinions

    Thanks for the input guys- its appreciated. Researched the ANJ-3 after the suggestions but I want HH AND cannot budget an Aero version. So both makers are out. But since the ANJ-3 looks exactly like a G1 without fur collar (except with the storm flap over the zipper)I now have a good...

    G1 with Leather Collar? Help/Advice/Opinions

    Hey Gang, Any G1 enthusiasts I'd appreciate your help. Wanting another jacket and considering a US Authentic custom in russet Horsehide. However, I think I prefer a leather collar option- other than that a basic G1. I like the bi-swing back and "open" zipper and lack of epaullettes but...

    Reproduction classic workwear

    This stuff is great. But on a tangent I can't help but be a little worried with RRL making retro so mainstream. Before it was just odd or kooky... But now once the mainstream forget retro we're just out of style...

    Eastman Leather Officers' Trousers Opinions?

    hey Gang, Have been considering a pair of Eastman officers' Pinks. Not for a military impression but a nice pair of civilian/dress pants in a 1930/40s cut in wool. What I wonder is if anyone has a pair and can tell me if they are high waisted. I mean... I know they should be but the...

    Hey Gang, Selling my 1936 redline selvedge Type I. Made in USA edition that I got from Aero. Cool but thinking of something else. Listed on eBay starting at $150. Washed once and line dried. Would consider trades... I really like trading if you've go something cool in the rough price...
