Does anyone have one of these that they've owned for a while (or even purchased recently)? I am considering getting one and am interested to find out what hide variations, colours, etc. are possible (and if some details can be left off [back adjusters and pocket flaps]).

I assume you meant to post a picture of something.
Such a strange name to be associated with things such as leather jackets and their tough, hero type image, as the 'White feather' has for centuries been associated with cowardice.

Tell that to Carlos Hathcock!

I wondered if anyone had any pictures or reviews of the car coat-type jacket the company does. Company could be called 'Run-away-screaming-"Not-in-the-face!-Not-in-the-face!" as long as the quality's good.

I have one of their 1920's Aviator jackets that I bought when visiting the shop in Vienna a few weeks ago. The impression I have is that this is a small business run by an enthusiast who really cares about the products they sell and produce. I don't think the jackets are made in the shop but elsewhere locally. My jacket is beautifully made from seal horse and the shop owner Fardin told me the leather comes from the same Italian tannery used by Eastman. The buttons were rather tight so I had Aero resew them for me but Whitefeather insisted on paying for it.
I'll take some photos of my jacket soon.

Never heard of him till today even though Spielberg obviously stole the idea of shooting a sniper through his own sight for Private Ryan.
Still a funny name for a company or do they make replica Marine Corps issue kit?
I was thinking more of "The Four Feathers"(White) a pre WWI adventure story by A. E. W. Mason

@zebedee, they are beautiful jackets. I just bought one but it is too big so I am selling it.

I've always wondered if it was a subtle mockery of the tedious macho macho attitudes of some who fetishise the world wars. Though in reality, and in their own way, a fair few of the guys given those white feathers were as brave as any in the trenches.

Cheers for the info, Sir J.
