What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?
Used to race hare scrambles against those vintage guys. They're nuts. Even on a KX250, they blew my doors off.- Hypoxic

US Authentic G-8
Shaul is really good with the test jackets; really quick turn-around times, even for me overseas. The entire process was enjoyable and went off without a hitch. For you guys State-side postage must be lightning quick. I really looked forward to each new size arriving to try out, till I got, "The...- Hypoxic

Me? I love the way this jacket lays along the small of the back once the side straps are adjusted, it just feels good.- Hypoxic

Cockpit 100 Mission G-1
I care more about my Navy issued G-1 now than I did back then, I'm sure it's just for sentimental reasons. But in the day, I hammered it inside the P-3s, could have cared less about it. Threw it, sat on it, balled it up for a pillow... So you guys make a good point.- Hypoxic

Cockpit 100 Mission G-1
@WARHAWK What does one have to do to order the Avenger jacket custom made. I've sent several inquiries to Cockpit and never receive a response. I'm a tall guy and need some specific measurements because I'm somewhere between a regular and tall size.- Hypoxic

Just wanted to post that I'm looooovin' this jacket. It's so friggin tough, I feel like I should go out and tackle a cow. My only regret is that I ordered it at the threshold of Spring. :-/ I'm sure others can sympathize.- Hypoxic

The leather is a dark, almost seal brown. And I do prefer the HH over the goat for the jacket, I believe it makes a big difference in the way the jacket fits/feels. For my alterations I didn't change anything other than the body length and the sleeves. It could be that I didn't adjust the side...- Hypoxic

Thanks Nick. It feels really good on but it's going to take forever to break in, the horsehide is really thick, but I couldn't be more happy with the result. It still bends a little weird in a few places, as you can see, but I've been wearing it around the house and it's beginning to crease in...- Hypoxic

First off, I'd give my testicles to pilot that baby. Secondly... I received my Horsehide G8 from Shaul with alterations. For me... It's absolutely, positively... AWESOME!! I'll post some pics soon, just want to break it in a little, the horsehide is super thick and needs some character before I...- Hypoxic

Good stuff! Though I could always imagine myself in a Nieupot or Spad XIII, volunteering with the Lafayette Escadrille! Although, if that were today, I'd probably get shot down. :)- Hypoxic

US Authentic G-8
Ah! Good to hear you all are in line with my thinking about the size. The goat is heavy and I would compare the feel to my G&B G-1 but a little heavier through the arms, and with leather cuffs of course. For reference, my G&B G-1 is heavier than my Cockpit G-1. My Cockpit 'almost' feels like...- Hypoxic

I was under the impression that these jackets were supposed to fit a little longer, sort of like the Cockpit Oil Driller. This jacket measures in at 26" down the back. Normally I shoot for a 27 to 27.5" back. I may add a little as it feels short in the front to me.- Hypoxic
