    AVI's new ANJ-3 This is their 'take' on the 1943 ANJ-3, essentially their M-422 with a leather collar, epaulets, regular left pocket and brown rayon lining. As AVI says, its...

    Bill Kelso Indy Jackets ?

    Edwards spot on. BK is the creme de la creme; leather, pattern, detailing.... But you'll wait and you'll pay. Wested's jacket are great on all levels, especially for the price. Lots of options, depending what you're after. I had the Hero Raiders in lamb, light and comfy. No need to look...

    Big guy needs sizing help; Leather A2 repro...

    Just saw this. Im an A-2 guy. Own/ owned almost everything, from everyone. Your jacket looks good, rather have a touch of extra room, than too little. Also allows you too layer a bit if needs be. The jacket will loosen up the more you wear it, and dont be afraid to wear it in the rain and then...

    Cockpit USA 100 Mission G-1 42 review & pics

    The seal brown knits are ok, Cockpits' usual blend. Not 100% wool thats for sure. They are decent enough and will last. Lots of labels to make sure one knows this was made in the ol' US-of-A ;) Overall a great jacket for those not pedantic about original detailing or cloning of any...

    Cockpit (formerly Avirex) G-1 Classic "100 Missons" Flight Jacket Size 42 NEW with tags Measurements on Cockpits website. I just received this, but unfortunately its a touch big on me.

    Good Harrington or Barracuda Jacket..

    Ive also been on the lookout, but also dont want to spend a large sum. But it must be comfy. Any comments on which tends to have 'slightly' longer lengths, esp sleeves...? Somehow missed Merc. Been through few. Returned most, found some 'cheap', weird short sleeves... Tried on a Baracuta G9 at...

    Cockpit USA Classic 100 Missions G-1 jacket

    Thanks, but Im sure a 44 is one size too big. I've gone and grabbed a 42, currently on the way... Hoping it works... But it looks like you have some interest there. I have owned a couple of these jackets, and can attest to good quality and comfort. Worth it if you can get for a good price.

    Cockpit USA Classic 100 Missions G-1 jacket

    Thanks everyone, Ive owned a couple of 40s in the past, sold of... but recently tried a Heroes 42 and it was good. So, I think the rule of thumb, sizing one up from chest is a good call (Im 40") Im interested again, due to Cockpit separating the leather panel at the base of the zip, which is...

    A2 sizing

    Welcome to the A-2 I think that is a great fit for an A-2. Generally, most WW2 A-2s were worn this way, they had to be able to layer... I think lengths are good and this jacket will wear in beautifully over time. Further to what has been mentioned above... This is not the best design/ type of...

    BK Liberty HH alternative...

    Mark, I have a few BK Liberty HH A-2s, its my favourite leather. Vicenza is great, a little heavier yes, but not much so. In terms of ageing it really depends how you wear/ treat your jackets. I cycle mine, so they have not worn in like some, or lost any top finish etc... That said they are...

    DEVOTION the movie

    Not sure how many have seen the trailer, might have been eclipsed by Maverick, but its looking pretty good. Based on the fantastic 'true story' book of the same name. https://adammakos.com/devotion-book.html Jackets look ok, better than Midway et al. Likely some Cockpit USA jackets, mixed in...
