I just picked up this very old Avirex G-1 (1979 vintage!) off the ‘Bay for $80. The super grainy goatskin of the Avirex jacket is the exact same color and weight as on my 1941 Willis & Geiger M-422a!
Avirex started making repro WWII jackets in 1975 and back then their quality, materials and detailing were excellent. Sad how the company ended up.

I’ve abandoned all common sense/ logic on this jacket. I’m sending it to Dena tomorrow to narrow the sleeves. I don’t know... Maybe it’s covid brain. Scratched up hide, meh construction. There’s something about it though. Must be the weight. My spectrum is showing. Bon voyage turd.

Being delivered tomorrow with my Herc. Dena does great work and I’m very much looking forward to getting it back. Will update the thread I created highlighting her work.
Hey ton if i wanted dena to add zippers to the cuffs of my Arcadia would you trust her? Would it even be possible ? Im pretty sure she doesn't have matching shinki, would she need a little leather to do it?
