    Vanson leather - Chopper jacket

    Some great advice given here. I, too, searched for the best jacket that would last me a lifetime. I thought the hype concerning Langlitz was overrated. After tons of research, multiple calls to the staff, and a lot of thought, I chose Langlitz. My advice to you would be to call them up, discuss...

    WTB 42R USAAF Repro Sheepskin B-6 Jacket in "Redskin"

    I am also going with Aero for my B-6. I am pretty certain that I want the Seal/Russet Trim, but I may have to look at the Redskin again. I plan on ordering in March sometime so I hopefully receive it by October. How dirty does the shearling get on the cuffs and waist from daily wear?

    New Aero 50's Half Belt Deluxe (with pics)

    Did you send over the materials to Aero for the handwarmer pockets or was that straight out of the factory? Love the color of that jacket!

    My New Jacket

    Looks good. Mine is exactly the same. I finally figured out the armhole situation. The left arm is fine, but is much softer (more broken in), I don't know which. The right arm, the problem armhole, is still very stiff and has not become soft yet. I really love the grain these jackets have. I...

    My New Jacket

    Thanks for the reply. I still think both of us got a great deal on a great jacket. That link you provided is a great one, thanks.

    My New Jacket

    Jwag, quick question for you. The stitching that connects the sleeve to the main body of the jacket seems to be up in my armpit and it is somewhat uncomfortable. How is your jacket in this regard? I do not have large arms or shoulders. I am maybe thinking that it is just due to the thick leather...

    My New Jacket

    Jwag, after I saw your post, I scrambled to call Lost Worlds to see if they had any more in stock. I just received my 34R as well, same jacket as you. Amazing quality, nice and warm. Fits me very nicely, how is the length of the jacket on yours? This horsehide is incredibly stiff. I am going to...

    US Wings: Need an Honest Opinion

    Just wanted to update all who contributed. I actually jumped on a Sale Lost Worlds A-2 for $350, size 34R. They were a pleasure to deal with. Will upload pics when I get it. I don't even care that it doesn't have side pockets, as I prefer the Russet and Horsehide combination. I am so excited...

    US Wings: Need an Honest Opinion

    I think I have just about made up my mind. I am still going to call Gibson & Barnes, but I think a Civil A-2 in Seal Brown size 36S will be good. Also, can someone point out the $20 difference between goatskin and cowhide?

    US Wings: Need an Honest Opinion

    Thanks for the replies everyone. I am a smaller guy, 5' 7" 120lbs, trim build. I think G&B would work best for me since they do have sizes in Short. I did check out US A. Their regular A2 is 314 but it then jumps to 424 for a custom? All I would want would be the side pockets and maybe a inside...

    US Wings: Need an Honest Opinion

    I have been looking for A2's for a while now. US Wings has come up now and then. They are currently running a few $195 specials. I am specifically looking for an A2 WITH side entry pockets. How do you guys with the mil spec not get cold hands? So far, the only manufacturer's that offer A2's with...
