Old LW HH “Commercial Flight Jacket”
Keep doing what your doing, looks great!Been using this as my shovelling/roof raking jacket. Leather works quite well in this application, more or less a shell. Wind and moisture blocking, yet not over insulated where you get overheated. Plus building those grains!

Perfect.... Even the cardboard boxes are perfectSnowy and also sunny in my part of the UK today, and the perfect opportunity to practice my mean mug for the camera in my Harley Davidson Sportster and some shades. View attachment 481974
Loooove the fit!I posted this Golden Bear CHP yesterday in another thread but today is the first day of actually wearing it out. I'm also wondering about getting a belt for it. Any suggestions? View attachment 482028 View attachment 482029

Brand new Five Star "whiskey" horsehide aviator. Currently waiting at Moynahan Station for a 7:25am train down south to visit the family. Gonna enjoy frolicking in the countryside wearing this, barely had a chance to wear it since i received it Monday

Agreed. Five Star can deliver greatness, but extensive reading of the Five Star thread should be mandatory before anyone orders because you really need to know what to ask forThat is amazing work!
Great news that it fits!This crusty durable just arrived. It’s going to take some work but it’s a fit! Some of the thickest HH I’ve seen on any vintage jacket. Loads of great detail, all Bakelite buttons are there, interesting mix of fabrics throughout and an original two way talon I’ve never seen befor. Needs a serious sleeve repair but this thing might end up being my crown jewel. I’ve started with the Obernaufs. Fit pic straight out of the box it was crammed into.

Haven’t puked the back yet. But you can see it’s thirsty.
It’s gotten to the point that I can tell as soon as it comes out of the box. When I saw it was a size larger than the Herc I sent to Reg, I was thrilled! It’s a 42”. Tight but alright.Great news that it fits!
Perfect fit. These longer jackets sometimes have unflattering fits, this one looks like a fitted cut.It’s gotten to the point that I can tell as soon as it comes out of the box. When I saw it was a size larger than the Herc I sent to Reg, I was thrilled! It’s a 42”. Tight but alright.
