    Closer details of my Aero Redskin B3 40-1721p

    It's a beautiful jacket! I must notice, the fleece on your sheepskin looks a lot less "fluffy" than the seal brown sheepskin on my B6. I wonder if this is a characteristic of the redskin sheepskin itself?

    G1 Restoration advice

    Really looking forward to seeing pics of your G1, Garry. Sounds like yours is a great find after a little cleaning up! I've spent the past few weeks searching for a nice vintage G1 - came across quite a few good ones, but unfortunately none in my size that were in appropriate condition for the...

    D-1 Appreciation Page

    That's in superb condition...don't often see too many like that. I take it from the artwork on it that it must have made its way into the air? Some mechanic might have traded it for a B3... Did all original D1s only come with Small/Medium/Large etc sizes rather than numerical ones?

    AVI LTHR 55J14 G-1 Jacket Review & pics

    I have just ordered one of these myself, so I'm intrigued to see what it's like when it arrives. After spending wasted hours enquiring about vintage G1s for similar money that usually ended up being in rubbish condition - some eBay sellers have no shame - I think this is a good option without...

    Which is your favorite G-1?

    Hi all, Anyone here have any experience with Brill Bros Golden Threads labelled G1s? I believe Brill Bros made actual Navy G1s but this one is clearly for the civilian market. There's one for sale on eBay at the moment that I might be interested in...

    Type B-10 Jacket - recommendations?

    Thanks for all the replies guys, much appreciated. Always amazed by how helpful and knowledgable everyone is around here! The Eastman jackets do indeed look terrific, but the quoted 10 week wait time and non returnable nature of long sizes makes it more trouble than it's worth for me. On that...

    Books about flight jackets

    Anyone have any recommendations? All the threads I could find on this topic were quite some years old. I believe there are a couple of highly regarded Japanese ones - one is called Full Gear, the other I can't remember exactly. From what I read, the author of Full Gear was working on an English...

    Type B-10 Jacket - recommendations?

    That's a shame that Aero no longer does their own...the one for sale in the classifieds at the moment looks really nice. I wonder why they stopped doing it? You're right about the Pike Bros offering - a puffy, Michelin Man-esque silhouette is quite the opposite of what I want.

    Type B-10 Jacket - recommendations?

    I'm liking the look of the B-10 jacket quite a bit...kind of a cotton version of the G1. Just wondering if anyone has any recommendations as to who to go for? There seems to be quite a few out there. It seems that Aero sell a Pike Bros variant on their site - interestingly, they state on this...

    Aeroleather B10 sz. 44

    Wow, really nice jacket - but a couple of inches too short for me unfortunately!

    My new Aero B6

    Been eyeing up some A-10s for a while now. Also liking the look of the M-387G sheepskin trimmed gloves from Eastman as well!

    My new Aero B6

    Not a patch on the Zara one, obviously ;)

    WTB: A2, 46L - Eastman Slender, Aero Bronco etc.

    Hi all, Looking to see if anyone out there has any slimmer fitting A2 jackets available. Ideally after an Eastman Slender (or similarly slim fitting cut from any manufacturer) in a size 46L, although possibly 44L depending on manufacturer. I'm located in the UK. Thanks!

    My new Aero B6

    The slender certainly is a beautiful jacket - the profile with the slimmer sleeves/torso is the look I am after when it comes to the A2. I will have to email Eastman and see if they will do a long version of it...

    My new Aero Redskin oil pull trim B3

    Great looking B3! Fits you perfectly. Your dog seems to think it would look better on him though! :D

    My new Aero B6

    Hello all, I just received my brand new Aero B6 in seal brown sheepskin with seal trims...and she's a beaut! Big thanks to Holly at Aero for being so helpful and patient during the ordering process...it was worth the wait. As some of you will know, I decided to sell my Aero 15142 A2 that I...

    Zara B6 Clone - £89.99

    I can't quite tell if you're joking or not. Yes, it's a plastic jacket, but I thought it was nothing more than a curiosity considering the B6/D1 style is rarely copied by mainstream fashion which has only ever really focused on the MA-1. That is why I shared it...nothing more. I don't know if...

    Zara B6 Clone - £89.99

    The grey is vile...as are those ridiculous "flood pants" all the models are wearing. I mean, I like a trouser with a 2 inch cuff and minimal break, but come on...

    Zara B6 Clone - £89.99

    Will definitely have to get myself down to one of these events...they have always been on my list but just have never managed to time things correctly. Great to hear that they hold appeal to all ages though!

    Zara B6 Clone - £89.99

    Good point Edward, it does have some D1 features in it - kind of a combination of both styles. Absolutely, I too have noticed more and more bomber/WW2 influenced clothing and designs appearing in the mainstream this past year - I would agree the Dunkirk has played a major part in this. It's...
