Oh, no, you wouldn't get gunned down at all. You'd get back slaps and warm welcomes since they'd all assume you were a war-crimes denier like them.

Having seen your idea for the "top secret" jacket: in the words of the Iron Lady, "Don't go wobbly, Nick!"

Ain't that the truth!! :lol:
I talked myself out of the blue long ago, but that muted green is starting to do it for me... I can see an A1 in that....
Always nice to have something a bit flash and different. Mind you, I started with the Aero Bootleggerf in Cordovan; it was supposed to be my 'a bit flash' before I went for the more conservative stuff, but it's proven as wearable as anything else.
Should be dead easy for them... Could be a nice jacket for the early Summer too - you know, when it gets just a bit too warm for the Board Racer and the LHB....
I like that as a concept. Can't quite see myself wearing it (not least because I often like to gwet things out of my bag without having to remove my jacket first!), but as a concept it's interesting. I can really inagine that being worked into some sort of scifi uniform, perhaps a place to stow survival kit for a space fighter pilot...

Anyone looking one of those lovely blue Aero A1s from the Thurston collaboration, now is your chance...

Weirdly, I think I almost fancy this more than an accurate A1 repro...

I always look at the Thurston ebay listings as the measurements are there. A good reference point.

Looks like the design of one of the East Wests wasn't so Sixties after all!

Even though the seller puts that one at 1930s, pockets like that didn't come into fashion until after the war. Looks like the zip was replaced in the late '50s-'60s.

Thanks Dinerman. I knew it was too good to be true.

This shop occupies a small section in a rural dept store that is located in Gotemba. I was there in January. It is amazing that they stock all those brands. Almost could not find it as the ground floor is a small supermarket.
