    Aero, Flightsuits or Flightjacket; A-2 Advice for new guy.

    I came across it in a search of the site. Why populate the forum with more redundancy when there is a perfectly good 'search' function?

    quality of Orchard M/C leather jackets?

    -and, do they run 'small' or tight, i.e. ordering a size up from my normal size would be good, or are they cut more 'civilian' now since the company doesn't have the contract anymore?

    quality of Orchard M/C leather jackets?

    That's great news. I feel better now. I did a little research on them, and found that they were on a list of original manufacturers for G-1's, but I had hoped that they hadn't gone the mall coat route, or worse, the Schwinn route, and sold their name to someone else. Will the jacket be on par...

    quality of Orchard M/C leather jackets?

    Im not looking for complete mil accuracy, since I have to order a long anyway, being rounder than tall. :-) My Schott 184 is too short, but otherwise a great jacket, but its shortness drives me up a wall, so im looking at some Orchard M/C A-2 jackets (that's how they are listed, anyway) on...

    FS: US Wings 2XL Goat, US made Signature series-180.00

    Mods, please delete post #4... My laptop was signed in under my wife when I posted that, so it has her name on it. I don't want to look like I have enlisted others to artificially bump/promote my listing. Thanks, CAS

    FS: US Wings 2XL Goat, US made Signature series-180.00

    I have an Indiana Jones US Wings 2XL goat-Signature, US made.I was wanting another daily wear Indy, but its just a tad snug compared to my Todd's. Im 5' 10" but im 280, also, SO hence the snugness. I'm the 2nd owner, I just got it today. It still smells 'newish', and has the cotton lining. I...

    Could that bit be removed without damaging the jacket, perhaps?

    proper fit question for Schott-length, ride up

    YES! You have explained it in english! Some of it is discomfort a bit since it pulls up over the 'me' that needs to go away (self consciousness) but it still seemed to be a bit much, since my Avirex only has about an inch or so of length on my Schott, but feels so much better when I wear it...

    proper fit question for Schott-length, ride up

    I have a Schott 184 sm (a weird hybrid between an A-2 and a G-1) that I have inherited in almost unworn condtion. Its a 54, with a 27" back. I'm 5' 9" ish and the seam between the leather and the waistband hits me right at the hips. I'm not thin-think 50 inch chest and probably 54 inch waist...

    Soft leather A-2

    I have an older Avirex lamb A-2 that wears like butter. Granted I didn't do the work on it, im the 2nd owner, but I can feel the difference between it and my Schott 184 cowhide. Im also the 2nd owner of the Schott, but it wasn't worn by the prior owner and the leather is really stiff. I dont...
