Thoughts on this Schott Bomber jacket?
i had the schott. really nice and classic, tho more a post war pseudo motorcycle/travel style, or rather a civi version of the military G-1. it's become a classic in it's own right, understanding it is NOT a military or military issue-style jacket. i would have kept mine except they run short...- johnnyjohnny

Schott 141 fit
hi...thought i'd offer a counter view on schott sizing. i'm actually a 42 suit jacket size, and have found schott, along with other manufacturers such as vanson, are sized to be skin tite (sp on purpose). i ordered a 184sm new and thought with a 42 coat size a 46 would be fine. what i got was...- johnnyjohnny

milwuakee crazy horse leather motorcycle jacket review
so true that the quality varies everywhere, all countries, except for the top manufacturers. i have seen a few posts here where aero made a minor mistake, and aero does correct them, but those posts are never upset, always with the understanding that these things do happen. and that's been at...- johnnyjohnny

milwuakee crazy horse leather motorcycle jacket review
i understand. but as 'made in japan' used to be subpar in the 60s, and 'made in china' is now breaking that stereotype in some areas, 'made in pakistan' suggests a stigma, not necessarily intended. i certainly don't knock u.s. manufacturers, but i guess between the both of us we show that there...- johnnyjohnny

milwuakee crazy horse leather motorcycle jacket review
thanks meta...i think i know what you mean. it's not a replica of a classic pattern. still, what attracted me to it were the classic lines. the main shell is really a luftwaffe style in the front, but it goes modern with having a windflap in front, and the cafe racer collar (upright). in the...- johnnyjohnny

milwuakee crazy horse leather motorcycle jacket review
what's a pakistani jacket funny you should say that. i had a strong bias about current issue military jackets being made in the u.s. from my mil jacket collecting. i carried that into my first purchases of motorcycle jackets, buying from the top makers of motorcycle apparel in the u.s...- johnnyjohnny

Review of the Eastman 'Luftwaffe' jacket, NEW
living color just looked at my eastman luftwaffer...thread is exactly the same color as the leather in the horse leather black, which is really a very charcoal gray...so it's at least not darker than the leather, so whilst not any lighter, it does do a respectable job of imitating the original...- johnnyjohnny

Review of the Eastman 'Luftwaffe' jacket, NEW
have a lot of pix of authentic ones, don't see any stitching that looks different than the jacket...seems it would give it an unGodly 70s disco stitch look...i wouldn't do it- johnnyjohnny

Review of the Eastman 'Luftwaffe' jacket, NEW
ORLan is correct, this is a nice lean jacket and you should go 44, it is also nice size in the shoulders, so should work for you ragnar...i doubt you'll need to tailor it, especially with turtlenecks...DEFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFinitely don't go (ig)noblehouse...they simply make a $100 jacket, and...- johnnyjohnny

Review of the Eastman 'Luftwaffe' jacket, NEW
wow, eastman should put me on the payroll...but not really, he deserves the word of mouth...you should love the jacket. i see these posts about other companies making luftwaffe jacks, such as noble house, and really, people don't have any idea that there is a categorical qualitative difference...- johnnyjohnny

Review of the Eastman 'Luftwaffe' jacket, NEW
that German look edward, i was talking about the german fliers, not the usaac (usaircorps), which when photos of the period are examined, the fits are surprisingly varied (as you astutely point out) as i found out on one fedlounge post that had a voluminous number of shots of ww2 u.s. fliers...- johnnyjohnny

der horseWaffe legumeJacket (peacoat for the unitiated) was kind enough to alert me to a question about my own size 46 eastman luftwaffe jacket (thanks 'p') the answer for chris is that the collar is not big and flappy at all like some of the real luftwaffe jacket collars, but nice and normal...- johnnyjohnny

RARE FLIGHT APPAREL INDUSTRIES NEAR NU 1982 MILSPEC G-1 46L (fits 42 to 46)
did not want to sell this, but it's a bit snugger than i like so i can keep it unworn for just so long. the title tells it all...flight apparel industries supplied A-2s and G-1s, but stopped in 1986 when the owner of the company died in a mid-air collision at the Hammonton airport. his jackets...- johnnyjohnny
