I purchased this jacket a little over a month ago. It's an exact repro of an AC Order No-W535ac21996 by Aero Leather Clothing Co. of Beacon, NY. The weight and hand of the Shinki horsehide is amazingly close to originals. It's been heavily tumbled to give it a really authentic look.
I only received the jacket weeks ago and I must say, it's beautifully made. It fits like a comfortable 38. I'm 5'9" and approx. 165 lbs. I couldn't be happier with the fit. I actually had it made twice as it was initially a size too small. Dave completely recut and remade the jacket for me. It's a perfect 38. I have to be honest however, and admit that I simply don't find the cut of the jacket flattering to myself. That has nothing to do with the jacket itself. I just don't find the collar to be aesthetically pleasing and I think I'm going to go with a different type of flight jacket, other than an A2.
The jacket has actually never been worn. It's not been broken in yet. It's never left my apartment since delivery. It is literally brand new. I paid approx. $950 USD. I'm asking only $699, shipped.
See photos below. I'd be glad to answer any additional questions.
