    Harrington Jacket vs. A-2

    Ah! That explains their new pricing. Somewhat the same as Belstaff a few years ago. So the Italians are buying up all the British brands? That just reminded me of the monopoly of spectacles/sunglasses by Luxottica worldwide, the Italian company owns almost all major brands and OEM all designer...

    Harrington Jacket vs. A-2

    I was looking for a Baracuta Harrington a while ago, should have bought them when they were cheaper. Then I checked their prices last month, they have apparently raised the price quite significantly. I am not sure whether they have now shifted their production back to England for all the...

    4 month review of Bill Kelso A2 Victory Horse Dark Seal Aero 18775

    It looks amazing, even more tempting to get the ANJ-3 with VH from them.

    Do you wear CWU-45/P, 36/P, MA-1, M-65 ?

    I wear my CWU-36/p quite often. It just looks way better than old style MA-1/L-2B jackets with low rise jeans these days. But I've notice a price hike of the older MA-1 and L-2A/B jackets on the famous auction site. A few years ago, MA-1 and L2-B from late 60s' to early 70s' cost only around...

    A-2 repro... You get one choice... Everyone encouraged to comment!

    True, but 7 is still still quite some number. I am never that good in reselling my jackets, maybe I should. Anyone interested in a brand new Aero 40-3785 smooth russet with 101st Airborne patches? So, back to the original topic, bottom line is, Goodwear all the way.

    new Schott jackets

    I am not aware that Schott had made any A-2s during the War. Correct me if I am wrong. All I have seen from them for making US Govn't contracted jackets were the G-1s and peacoats for the Navy? Not to say Schott NYC is a bad maker, but they seem to have taken the fashion route these days. I know...

    A-2 repro... You get one choice... Everyone encouraged to comment!

    Man! I don't even have 18 jackets! You can easily buy a Harley Fatboy with those money! CBI, I envy you!

    A-2 repro... You get one choice... Everyone encouraged to comment!

    If money is not the matter, I would certainly go for Goodwear no matter what. I myself have no experience with the American makers as I reside in the UK. I have tried and own Eastman, Aero and BK jackets. I have also handled Real McCoys Japan jackets in a shop in Hong Kong as well. As for...

    Funny Aeroleather Review I found on Schott Website

    This is a very delicate issue here. There are styles that we call reproductions/repros, then there are copies, and finally counterfeits. If you read some other fashion forums, there are a huge number of people complaining about designs from some famous fashion houses such as Gucci, RRL, Visvim...

    WWII Jacket Questions

    I think for 50-60F, an A-2 is the best. B-6 is probably a bit overkilled. It is also quite difficult to tell whether the jackets will be fit or not. For A-2, people tend to go for their true sizes to get a tight and neat WW2 look. I have not tried on the Eastman Hartmann so I really cannot tell...

    Bill Kelso Custom AN-J-3 (in Victory Horsehide) Size 40

    Looks extremely tasty! How much did they charge you? Looks to me that they still have not had it on their webpage.

    Aero vs BK

    Ok, I have two Aero A-2 and a BK Dubow. I have written a comparisons articles somewhere in Chinese a while ago, between an Aero, Eastman and BK. Here are some pics, look at them for yourself, I am not making comments here. The different weights of the jackets The knits, the Aero and...

    Lewis Leathers Monza And Super Monza

    That is very true. I like heavy hides and I love my competition weight Vanson, but there seems to be an obsession for ultra thick hide here at this particular forum. As for practical riding jackets, especially with the type of weather that we have here in the UK, you really need something which...

    Lewis Leathers Monza And Super Monza

    Totally agree. I have handled some older Lewis, and yes, their quality vary quite a lot. I guess they must have been from different periods. Unlike some vintage flight jackets, which obviously are out of production and have a long history behind them, I can understand that they can command high...
