    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    My second attempt at an A-2 jacket, this is a USA made Avirex in the “vintage lambskin” hand tanned hide. I am guessing this is a mid-90’s version but the same model is being produced by Cockpit USA Today at a healthy price tag. Thanks to good ole EBay I got a very good deal for it and...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I see what you mean, hopefully the stretch/torture method works. Me on the other hand, The Schott is too short and don’t think I can stretch it longer.

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    thanks, frustrating for sure. But since I buy almost exclusively pre-owned jackets from many size eras it comes with the territory I suppose. Almost always I can move them along and recoup most of my money back. Anyways, I negotiated another A-2 with more favorable measurements and should be...

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    I took a chance on a Schott G-1 flight jacket recently and it arrived this week. it is gut wrenching to have a beautiful jacket fit in every other area except the length in the body. The leather is perfect, the design, detail , that brown is exactly what I was looking for but I need a stretcher...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    At least two cows gave their lives so that Schott NYC could build my model 118 in a size 52 Long. And for that….I salute them.

    picked up an eastman D pocket a few months back for 300 shipped. anybody got any info on it? also, how did i do?

    Maybe it could use a good conditioner, I use several different brands as it’s a personal preference. But, overall a great jacket from a high end maker.

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Drought is over, I have my first bomber/flight hybrid Schott 674 MS on the way. Further research tells me that Schott used the “IS 674 MS“ label in many of their flight jackets as a one label fits all for about 30 years. This particular jacket is a 174G Naked Cowhide. Maybe early 2000’s.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Every time I think I am all good with my carefulily obtained crosszips consisting of a Schott 118 and a Black Stallion I see you wearing this. Then I second guess my life choices and think I need a C2 And would hope it looked like yours. Awesome jacket.

    Lost/stolen item resurfacing: Is there anything I can do?

    A quick search tells me that your Etsy seller is based in California and coincidentally the current EBay seller is also in California. Did the original seller provide you with solid tracking? This situation certainly raises some questions, is the seller on both platforms the same? for...

    Legendary USA Black Stallion is Back

    If If the folks of Legendary didn’t know of TFL prior to last week , I believe they know now the influence of that “weird Fedora forum”. Ever how large or small that is to their bottom line.

    The Vanson Model J from the early 2000’s does not get enough love, this jacket is a beast. I live in sunny and warm Florida and makes zero sense to own it yet here I am…..

    Legendary USA Black Stallion is Back

    I went through a back channel to Legendary and below is the response for what its worth……. “Hi Randy, thank you for your inquiry. We use EDSIM for our leather. Cut and sewn in Brooklyn, NY. We are not using Schott this time otherwise the price would have to be doubled. We wanted to make an...

    Legendary USA Black Stallion is Back

    I would be interested to see how many jackets out of the 100 were purchased by members and lurkers of TFL..

    Legendary USA Black Stallion is Back

    My Black Stallion is the 2012 version with black quilt lining. I believe that was the last year until the current run, but the plaid lining you pictured makes me think it was produced again.. Mine still has the shine and looks new after me having for 1 1/2 years and wearing maybe a dozen times...
