would you mind to share fitpics?
i`m considering whether to get one of their Broncos or a A1 (yeah I know difference of the "styles" is pretty huge) and I'm looking after pics of real people wearing them - not that skinny, youngish looking models on the AVI hp ... (no offence against any...
i`m aware of the AVI reviews which already exist on different forums but was asking specifically for A1
have you ever had one of their garment available for a check and comparison? if not you are - from my point of view - simply not in a position to judge about the quality of their stuff...
THX for the comments!
Yeah I saw the reviews from Greg and Brett and they where one reason for me to buy their G1 - I`m specificly after pics of the A1 ...
I also own a AVI G1 - Bretts experience made me curious - ordered 2 sizes and stayed with the larger one
I particularly like the knist - they are much stronger than the ones on historically correct G1 and M422
that "Top Gun" 44 suits you really well - like the fit but for my taste simply too many patches on the jacket so I'd buy a plain one rather then the Movie version
interesting to learn you own similar jackets in different sizes
same with me but not with leather jackets
nice motorbike btw
Seres I think you nailed the characteristics pretty well!
I especially like the heavier knittings they are simply stronger and better keep the wind outta the sleeves when riding. I know ain`t not that "history correct" but I'm happy with that ...
Second your comment "Juniper" and yes - I'm also checking TB at least once or twice a week for new stuff.
I still own 2 BELSTAFF knock-offs which I bought "off the shelf" since 5 years without any problems - still nice colour, all hardware still fine

Thanks for the detailed review Brett!
Based on your experience and the fitpics of you and Greg i ordered "my" G1 from them - have not been certain about the size so i followed your advice and ordered a 44 and a 46 (i usually wear 44) - the jackets arrived within 2 days from Denmark to Germany...
been working and living in China BJ for almost 7 years from 2007 until 2013 ...
i think one thing which is typical for Chinese business if they see a chance to make money they will do it as long as there is enough profit
during that time i was pretty active on TaoBao and ordered some leather...
got one of ATF`s repop some weeks ago but was actually not that excited
outter shape might be generally ok but lining is far from being realistic - is more like a teddy lining rather then alpaca
I attached some stencils on the jacket and sold her
like some of the others already pointed out:
not a US Navy issue N1 - liner on the originals is Alpaca, tab on the collar is much shorter, ...
Nice jacket anyway
when i buy chinese i have to order 2XL - which equals 44 - most of the interesting stuff i'd be after (like the A1) isn't available in my size in China anyway which i hardly understand coz they are more an Export-country and after 7 years livin' in China i'm pretty sure there is no real...
size is "XL"
vest is simply too big for me and didn't realize coz was too exited when bought the vest on a motorbike exhibit
got another one in "L" for a Special Price and due to that the "large" one Needs to go
worn only a couple of times - condition like new
asking 120.- Euro / 135.- $ /...
