Vanson Leathers: Enfield pattern
vanson howdy...i got vanson fever a whilst back...and it was either the enfield, like you, or the mercury...the merc in the pix looked a bit more tapered, so i went for that... as some might know around here, especially after my recent eastman purchase, ww2 luftwaffe jacket styling has been my...- johnnyjohnny

Review of the Eastman 'Luftwaffe' jacket, NEW
danke thanks stearman, johnnynotoes (sorry about your digit loss) and aswatland... it seems that many of the aficionados of the german pilot jackets prefer the hartmann...i think the real ones that i've seen were nice, but so many of the replicas have the lower pockets looking like little...- johnnyjohnny

Review of the Eastman 'Luftwaffe' jacket, NEW
answers for peacoat peacoat, i must answer some of the points you make: 1. me? oblique? nevahhhhhhhhh... 2. but seriously, a nasty luftwaffe jacket, icon of the proud, brave fliers who nevertheless gave their lives and allegiance for the black mark of the 20th century...a nice jewish kid...- johnnyjohnny

Review of the Eastman 'Luftwaffe' jacket, NEW
PiXXXXXXXXX thanks mcmurphy...i'm wearing it as i post these pix of the eastman luftwaffe...for those who recall the pix i put up of the lewis dominator, basically the same style jacket, i am astounded at how different the two jackets look (to me anyway)...the lewis has a total 60s rocker look...- johnnyjohnny

did iT...(guLp!)...ordered a new EASTMAN luftwaffe jacket
hi...i did have the pleasure of the dominator, and it was a pleasure, and it was more of a rocker jacket...the only changes i made to it, and at no cost, was to have the waist brought in by one or two inches (as i've said about the eastman luftwaffe, no need to do that if you have a larger drop...- johnnyjohnny

Review of the Eastman 'Luftwaffe' jacket, NEW
answered precisely by edward: i love when i don't have to write a word, but i love writing, so...sufferrr... no, really, i adore both companies' jackets, and edward had it right on...i love the 60s, and adored my lewis dominator, and it totally was a jacket of the 60s...but my reason for...- johnnyjohnny

Eastman Horsehide Leather Quality; Consistent?
sorry to hear of the variance...i can only speak to two things: 1. i just got the eastman horse luftwaffe, and it is amazing...very supple and a nice weight, but not heavy...i had an aero that was horse, superb, but a harder, heavier, crisper leather, tho it was the mid-weight 2. i spent...- johnnyjohnny

Does Anyone Make an Insulated Version of a G-1, etc?
i guess our original question is answered concerning schott as 'south' already has one, but for others, please NOTE that the schott a-2 is NOT an a-2 nor is it the 184sm with the removable collar and lining...imho it is worthless as something a jacket lover would want since it has the dreaded...- johnnyjohnny

thanks for your opinion...a certainly studied one post office not open yet so haven't picked up my "LW" as of yet... but wanted to comment on your observation on how the later variety of jackets were worn fit-wise, late in the war in pictures that we see i forget if it was you in the 'eagles...- johnnyjohnny

Does Anyone Make an Insulated Version of a G-1, etc?
schott schott, of course, makes the 184sm, which has a zip out thinksulate inner layer...fur collar also comes off...seems what you're looking for...as well as these going for a better price on ebay, though often the fur collar or inner liner is not with the jacket anymore, so you'll have to...- johnnyjohnny

Question on A-2 Fit
as you say, the 184sm is truly not an a-2, or g-1, but some motorcycle jacket attempt to combine the styles...and for not being militarily authentic, i'd say nicely too from everything i've heard and experienced with leather, it is supposed to stretch, if anything, with wear, unless you throw...- johnnyjohnny
