    US Wings Horsehide A2

    Not to mention that US wings has one of the crappiest zippers I have ever seen on a jacket, not to mention Leather jackets. The part that you put in the slider to start zipping is made out of plastic, which wears out and means at odd times your jacket will come unzipped. No, get a US authentic...

    Comments wanted Aero HH

    I think its interesting on the above posted aero, that the collar has flattened out like a rough wear's collar would. I like the way that looks. It also kind of throws my previous identifications of pilots jackets in old photos off.

    What does one wear with a leather jacket?

    For one thing, Robert Redford. I had a Lit teacher who pointed out that Robert Redford in the Great Gatsby is probably the only man who could wear a pink suit and look good in it. For the rest of us, his style just wont do. Myself, I wear Jeans with my jackets, although they arent low waist...

    Hand warmer pockets

    Honestly, I never use my handwarmer pockets. I either wear gloves or stick my hands in my jean pockets. they arent good for holding anything, and they are too high up to be used for your hands, at least comfortable.

    G-1 Collars

    Hello again, Im just curious to anyone who has G-1's or M-422a's, to the fading of the collars. Do the dark collars really fade out to that beautiful russet and then to the honey color, or do I need to get the russet color in the first place? if they do fade, how long and under what conditions...

    Aero A-2 jacket and US authentic G-1 Questions

    Its just interesting. considering its only a fifty dollar difference, ill probably go for a jerky anniversary. I know its not a 100 percent authentic, but I find an upgrade in quality to be a better thing than replicating a condition in manufacturing that was the result of a need for more...

    Aero A-2 jacket and US authentic G-1 Questions

    Aero and US authentic. Thanks for the feedback. As for sizing I am not worried, I have a 36 chest, 32 waist, and a wiry build. I imagine it should fit like a glove. My current jacket is a US wings A-2, and although a quality jacket, and good for roughing around, I would prefer somthing that fit...

    Aero A-2 jacket and US authentic G-1 Questions

    Hello, Im new to this thread, but I am a big history buff and I want to say that since most jackets are mailorder, its nice to have a website to frankly discuss the fit and quality of most manufacturers. I was just curious on the quality of US authentics G-1 jacket, and what problems with...
