Thank you both for the kind words! The color is best shown in the close-up picture of the collar - much richer than I expected.- TPD166

New A-1/37J1 Jacket from Pop's Leather
I thought I would share my thoughts and experiences with my recently purchased Pop’s Leather A-1 jacket. A couple of caveats upfront – (1) I know that the jacket is not a historically correct replica of an A-1 (or 37J1) jacket, nor was it intended to be; and (2) I am under no illusion that I...- TPD166

Famous People in Flight Jackets
Capt. Ed McMahon, USMC Aviator – Korea, 1953. Well, I suppose this is actually his flight “vest” and not a flight jacket, but still worth a mention. From a 2009 obituary: Ed McMahon wanted to be a Marine fighter pilot and took his primary flight training in Dallas and then Pensacola. He...- TPD166

A-1 Jacket / A1 Flying Jacket - The ultimate Golden Era flying accessory!
I will be stalking for the DHL delivery driver in a couple of days - I was notified that my new jacket has been shipped. I had Pop's Leather make me one of their A-1 jackets, with some modifications. I asked for snaps at the bottom instead of buttons and a matching knit 37J1 style collar...- TPD166

What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?
I won't need it by 10:00 AM, but today my (new to me) vintage Golden Bear A-1 style jacket. Very soft brown leather (much darker than it appears in the pic), with leather collar, button front, and zipper that goes to the end of collar points. I have considered removing the zipper, but the...- TPD166

High Praise for Siggy's Patches!
I had always admired the work done by fellow Lounger Siggy and turned to him for help with a project a couple of weeks ago. I asked him to make leather patches for the 755th BS, 8th AF, USAAF HQ to use on a WW-II tribute jacket I wanted to do. Siggy was willing to help and created the patches... -

What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?
Today I completed my WW-II tribute jacket (made with a San Diego Leather ANJ-3 type jacket) and my son's A-2 made by Pop's Leather arrived in the mail, so we wore them both for a quick photo, even though it was way too hot for leather jackets!- TPD166

WW-II 8th AF Tribute Jacket - Looking for some guidance
The project is complete (for now). I received my repro ANJ-3 jacket from ebay - really well-made beautiful jacket that was a deal (and perfect for my project) due to damage to the finish from someone gluing Velcro to the chest for a nametag. My next step was find the appropriate patches for... -
Show us your Guns!
My first duty gun in 1981 was a Model 65 4" (pinned & recessed) and I bought the 3" (not P&R) when it came in 1982 (I think). I switched departments in 1985 and was issued a Model 64 with a 3" barrel and factory bobbed hammer (the only gun I shot a perfect qualifying score with). Like an...- TPD166

A Chief's Special is easier to carry and hide, but it doesn't beat a Model 10 (or M&P, M-12, etc.) snubby in the hand.- TPD166

What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?
I am wearing my slightly altered Landings Leather A-1 jacket. While certainly not a top-end jacket, it’s a decent jacket and has become one of my favorites - very soft leather, comfortable, and fits better than most of my other leather jackets. My biggest complaint was the buttons – plain...- TPD166

Any reviews or experiences with leather.com?
I did not recognize the website because I bought my jacket off of eBay, but I have a San Diego Leather flight jacket. Mine is either an ANJ-3 or G-1 with leather collar and it is beautifully made jacket - nice leather, well-made, and a perfect fit. I'm not sure how old my jacket is to compare...- TPD166

A-1 Jacket / A1 Flying Jacket - The ultimate Golden Era flying accessory!
I recently purchased one of the much-maligned Landings Leather A-1 jackets. While I would not consider it a top-end jacket (it’s not even at the top end of my closet), it’s not a bad jacket and has become one of my favorites. The leather is very soft and comfortable and it fits me better than...- TPD166
