haven't posted here in a long time, but after many years i found a grail jacket that until a few days ago i didn't know existed. at the beginning like many i was really into military issue style jackets, especially Luftwaffe and U.S. G-2. still love those but gravitated over to motorocycle...
really hope someone can help me with the meaning of a stamp put on the collar tag of military jackets. a picture of what i'm talking about is attached here.
the jackets involved would be military issue, not part of the original tag, but stamped on it much as WW2 A-2 jackets had 'ok' tags...
well, here we go. wore this beautiful replica WW2 A-2 Flying Tigers by COCKPIT USA only 4 times, it is in MINT condition.
switched over to my love of pricey motorcycle jackets, so my beloved A-2s are going, best first.
note, there is more information about this, the condition, specific...
well, here we go again...making room for some new jackets and letting go of the ones not being worn much...

well here we go again...letting go some beautiful leather motorcycle jackets that are just a bit off my personal size...so if you've wanted a very cool medium/light weight leather authentic Harley with classic logo on it, it's a size XL (26" armpit to armpit) and it's got one day left on 'the'...

ok, those of you who know me, am clearing out those exquisite jackets i simply have not worn!
best of these is one i raved about when i bought it, the VANSON thick leather large-hole fully perforated (with an actual die, as in die-cut) summer riding jacket...i have worn it twice indoors and...
finally selling some collectible leather like this very rare schott A-2 that is not a motorcycle jacket or civi leather jacket, but one of their rare contract made A-2s, apparently '96 or later as it has the relaxed military spec allowed side handwarmer pockets in back of the full patch pockets...
i love this jacket, just got it on ebay but turns out it's one size too big for me...so sad. will fit someone who needs a 27.75" armpit to armpit...all stats on the ebay ad including the great condition it's in. very low price for a jacket that retails well over $400 ($125 buy it now). very sad...

wondering if i'm a heretic on this forum for having fallen in love with the workhorse of the cold, smart-looking but non-leather N-2B (the later spawn of the korean war era N-3B)?
i adore my leather motor and mil jacks from a-2s, G-1s and vanson sportrider, etc...but being in lalaland calif. i...
[NOTE, as of today i am exchanging this size for ANOTHER one up, from 48 to 50. these are tight, well formed, and cut to be in riding position. i wear a 42 reg suit and need to take a 50 in this jacket, and that's without the protective padding shoulder/arm inserts. i do like a touch of...
