I ordered this in July and recently received it, and I love the jacket....but since I ordered it I've lost 16kg and it no longer fits as it would have when I ordered it. So that in mind, I'm hoping to find a good home for it. I've worn it maybe 10 hours total since I received it. It's just too...
This arrived today and it's nicer than I expected, and my expectations were high. I can't say enough about the Badalassi hide; it's the nicest leather I've ever seen. The fit could be a little off since between the time I ordered the jacket and today I've lost 16kg. The bootlegger was the jacket...
So since I moved to Eastern Europe, I had to gut my wardrobe. I'm now at a point where I want to keep a more minimalist setup, and I'd like some input. I've historically had many jackets, since Alaska stays cold. Here, though, we get four full seasons. So I'm looking at getting a jacket that can...
For your consideration:
A Lost Worlds Dubow goatskin A2 in size 44R. It's been worn a dozen times, but mostly sat in the closet as it's too big for me these days. Ships from California. The jacket has good clean knits, and has been in a pet-free, smoke-free cedar chest for the last year. There...
Hello!
I purchased this with the intention of using it as a motorcycle jacket, but since I purchased it I've lost about 20kg and the jacket no longer fits my torso. It's been worn by me inside, but never actually on a bike as I was in Afghanistan during riding season. Jacket is clean, and looks...
Hello all,
I was showing my daughter a picture of much great uncle next to the Liberator he flew in the pacific and, like kids often do, she asked me “who named the plane?”. My child is a pitbul on the pant leg of curiosity.
I have no idea and he’s long since passed on. So can anyone square...
This is a new one for me...does anyone have any experience with cape buffalo hide? My first leather jacket was a USW Indy in goat and it lasted a dozen years of rough use before finally giving up the ghost.
That being said...anyone know anything about this kind of leather?

***Edited to say: the 40 fits like a 44****
I received this as a fit jacket in June (while shopping for a Bootlegger) and absolutely fell in love with it. Due to my work schedule (and the darned heat), I've been wearing it after my work hours for 2-3 hours each night to break in the heavy steer...
So I'm working in Afghanistan and finally decided to pull the trigger on the Aero Bootlegger that I've been drooling over for four years. The wonderful Carrie at Thurston has been a joy to work with and sent me a Highwayman to use as a fit jacket. It arrived right before Eid, and as a result I...
Reposting.
I got this from another member, and it's fantastic. I just accepted a job working overseas as a contractor, however, and I am getting rid of everything I don't NEED.
Measurements are as follows:
Pit to Pit: 24.5
Length from collar to hem in back: 26.5
Sleeve length: 27 inches...
Greetings, everyone. I hope you had a great Thanksgiving, for those of us who celebrate it.
I have a question and I'm hoping you all might be able to help. I've decided to replace and upgrade the US Wings Indy jacket I bought when I joined the military years ago. Bill Kelso has one available...
Hello all,
I have a very gently worn Eastman that is just a bit too snug in the shoulders and across the back for me, so I offer it for your consideration. While I hate to see it go, it just doesn't fit right anymore. I'm willing to take a comparable trade in a 46 or just sell it outright...
Hello all,
I bought this over the winter for motorcycle riding, but then I opted to not get another motorcycle, so I no longer have a use for the jacket. This is an American made, heavy leather jacket and has a great quilted lining. This is the same type of jacket worn by Brando, Joan Jett...
I spent the weekend watching WW2 films with an acquaintance. While watching Band of Brothers, we saw the scene with the American who was serving with the Wermacht as a Volksdeutsche . This got me to wondering, and perhaps some of you fine folks will know more about this than I do--because I...
I went to the company that supplied the last one I bought a few years ago (Split S), but they're out of stock. Can anyone recommend another company who might produce a good quality name-tag? I mean the leather ones.

For the consideration of the group:
Is this kind of flag correct on a WW2 flight jacket? I don't recall ever seeing one before, though it has the correct number of stars. I can't tell whether it looks wrong because they were just uncommon on the shoulder, or because I'm used to the one I...
I wrote a post recently about looking for an A2 for my brother's birthday. After much debate and web-searching, I found a company called "Buck Starr" and ended up ordering their 'Legend' jacket. It arrived in 3 days (I live in Alaska, or I assume it would have been here a day sooner) and came in...
Since I left the military, I have been running less and lifting a bit more and as a result, my beloved Eastman no longer fits properly in the shoulders. So, regretfully, I'm putting it up for sale, or trade.
It's a "house" model in size 42, seal colored goat hide. I've included some photos of...
My brother's birthday is coming up and I want to get him an A2, since he really likes my Eastman. We're not close and truth be told I rather dislike him. Family obligation dictates that I get him something, though, so while I don't want to spend too much, I want to get him something that's going...
I really liked the look of Johny Depp's blue suit in Public Enemies, and so this fall I had one made while I was overseas. I'd welcome any input. While it's not perfect, I think it came out rather nice. I included a couple of indoor shots because the lighting outside was deceptive.
