    new Schott jackets

    I also was only aware about Peacoats and G-1s produced by Schott for the Navy. this is for sure... maybe the price to pay to keep production in NYC and not have it in China. (as Schott market is not same as GW or Aero or others...) their L is indicated as 42-44, but they also do custom sizing...

    Starin' and dreamin'

    Bill Kelso Werber 42-1402-P (in Antique Victory Horsehide) Size 40 (part the first)

    this jacket is just great and looks great on you, wear it well! I am a bit jealous, as I got A-2 with their former HH and depsite I like its grain (very grainy,almost like goat), yours is just fantastic and I wished I place the order now and not one year ago. I didn't see the werber on BK...

    "and that's when I tried to hit him..."

    having seen the pics of you with the Indy jacket, and even you didn't wore it at the time, I wouldn't dare to say anything like this to you! I think would have gone the reply version of "who's that Indy? someone of your relative?"... or something like "don't be jealous, it is not your fault if...

    Solar Impulse jacket

    it is incredible what can be done with these little cameras! a friend has an iPhone controlled drone with a GoPro, the movies done with it are just great! and I think some police or army coprs are using it for surveillance or threat scouting. It seems usaf is going the same way, just bigger...

    Solar Impulse jacket

    unfortunately not flying the plane :( ... as it is experimental and the pilots are the initiators of the project, Bertrand Piccard (psychiatrist and balloonist) and Andre Borschberg (former Swiss military pilot), and my flying experience is limited to few hours with Cessna 172, they would never...

    Solar Impulse jacket

    As Solar Impulse HB-SIA, the solar energy powered plane (from Switzerland :cool:), will fly across USA starting today, just wanted to show the offical pilot jacket of the project. I like to wear it when tired of leather jackets, and when it is around 5-20°C (above the jacket is too warm). Do...

    I never been issued this one, so pre-90's ;) I found a classified in an online swiss auction website, and looks similar to yours. The one in the classifieds is jacket in use in mountain infantry troops in 1927 (jacket specs from 1926)...
