Apologies for mistaking your username! Also that was very kind of you of to have parted with your peacoat and will do the same once I inevitably grow out of the size. It's only right.
Considering its already Friday the 13th where I am, I am one of the lucky ones to start the day off on a good note! But yes special thank you to Nick123 for being so kind with his offer. Its a good feeling to know how helpful and nice people can be on forums like these especially when we've...
Nick123 and I are the same chest size, the sleeves are a good fit too, will be kicking myself if I don't get this one but all thanks to you Butte and may all the good Karma come your way!
Hi Guys, just wondering does anyone own the current Cockpit Milspec G1? And if you do could you please tell me what size you purchased along with your chest size. This is just to verify whether the Cockpit runs true to size. When I did a search here I came across a member saying that the...
What I meant was that I saw some good quality Star Sportswear G1's in size 40 but the size 38 Star Sportswear (which was the only one available on Ebay) wasn't up to par due to wear and tear. Having started a thread earlier I was given to understand that Star Sportswear is the one of the...
I the size 40 will on the one hand fit me but it can be a slightly loose too considering I
Thanks for the suggestion and not to dismiss Cockpit but there's something about a vintage that can't be matched which is why I'm on the lookout for one.
Hi everyone,
I am a size 39 inch chest and instead of purchasing a size 40 jacket I am thinking of purchasing a size 38 because I would like a snug fit. Unfortunately I can't find anything of decent quality in 'Star Sportswear' in a 38. However I did come across the brand 'Flyer's...
Mike, thank you so much your invaluable advice. Did see a few Inperials on the bay but I'll now be staying well clear. Hopefully I can get my hands on a Star Sportswear. Interestingly I did see some Cooper Jackets too but didn't like the pocket design as they seem slightly different to the...
Hi Butte, beautiful jacket you have there! Just wondering who did you purchase it from? I have been looking on ebay so far and will continue to do so but if there's other places that you can recomnend that would be great. Thanks.
Btw is 1987 considered Vintage too or should I just stick to the 60's and 70's. Saw a Brill Bros 1987 Jacket and was wondering whether the difference in quality would be much from those years.
I saw a DSCP Jacket on ebay and would like to know what you think, its firstly sheepskin and according to the seller one of the best he's seen; personally I've never felt goatskin or sheepskin jackets so I wouldn't have a clue Also my chest size is 39 inches and I am 5'9 and weigh 150 pounds...
Thank you so much to all of you who took the time to reply, didn't expect so many replies tbh but thank you all the same! So most of you suggest the vintage jackets while a few suggest the new jackets. I'm based in Australia and unfortunately we don't have the option to test these jackets before...
