If you could only pick one as your number one go to cold weather jacket, which would it be and why? Winter Combat/Tanker jacket or a Navy N1 Deck Jacket. Can't make up my mind and need some opinions.
Hey folks, I just pulled out my Buddy Holly record (my all time favorite musician) and put it on the turntable for a slow snowy night here in Pennsylvania. I got to thinking Id read a bit about Buddy, I think if he had lived he'd have been the King of Rock and Roll. So I went online and they...
What would the total to my door cost of importing an eastman jack to the usa be? Say 700gbp for the jacket plus 40 gbp for shipping, what other fees are there and how much roughly
Im toying with the idea of buying one of the repro wwii tanker jackets and had a question about the pockets. For the second pattern tanker jacket with the hand warmer pockets, are the pockets insulated on the back of your hand between the pocket and the outer shell? If not it seems to me the...
I also noticed that when I hold my arms out the jacket is just too big under the arms to the point that it almost constricts my movement and makes me look like a flying squirrel. Im shooting for that trim look maybe 3 inches over actual chest measurement, Im just having a heck of a time getting...
Howdy gang,
I have just recently purchased a size 44 US Authentic A2 in the Russet Vintage Horsehide. This is the veg tanned leather which you must have custom made to order. I gave her a drink of Obenauf's leather care to liven her up and wore it for about a week in a desperate attempt to...
I was really hoping to get $450 for it since it only has around 6 hours wear time wile driving too and from work, but I am also open for offers. I'll post some pictures of the lining, zipper and label tonight.
I noticed the darker pictures didnt show the true color on a computer screen, so I went out an took another one in the sun light. Here is what she actually looks like.
Howdy folks,
I just recently purchased a US Authentic A2 with the veg tanned horse hide. This jacket is absolutely incredible, I was blown away by the leather and build quality when I got it in the mail. Here are some photos of it straight out of the box.
I took some of my beloved...
Could some of you folks post the measurements of the SMW A-2. What size do you have and what are the Shoulder seam to seam and pit to pit measurements? I sent SMW an email asking about the shoulder width of a size 44 and he said it was 18 inches and the pit to pit was 25, that just seems like...
Oh yea I has seen the SM A-2 it looks fantastic. For some reason I had snobbed away Steerhide and focused on Horsehide. I will have to give it another look. I emailed SM once for shoulder and chest measurements and it was difficult to get a direct answer from them. The one thing I am worried...
Do any of you folks have a US Authentic jacket with their Vintage Horse hide. Id really like to see a picture of it other than the one on their website. Its looking like a vintage horse A2 would cost about $650 which makes choosing between US.A, GB, and BK ever more difficult.
Howdy gang, I recently picked up a beautiful original Gordon and Ferguson M-422A for a really good price. The leather is in amazing condition with original knits and talon zipper. I plan on wearing it regularly. This is my first old jacket and I wanted to ask you folks about how best to care for...
In all of my internet window shopping and the brutal reality of my ATM receipts I got to thinking. As much as I would kill for a GW or Eastman A-2 I don't think I could or would ever be able to pay the $1200+ for one. I think at the price of 2+ months of rent I would probably be too afraid to...
Wow I sure as hell am glad I stumbled across this thread when I did. I woke up this morning, poured some coffee and got my debit card out, literally about to click the purchase button on a BK A2. The only thing that saved me from this slimy dishonest and sneaky +20% price gouge, was a last...
