    1930's Type A1 Flight Pants size 44

    1930's Type A1 Flight Pants made by Switlik Parachute Co. in a large size of 44. These are the first issue winter flight pants procured by the U.S. Air Corps meant to pair with the B1 Jacket. No repairs or major blemishes, just beautiful patina and fully functioning zips with little to no...

    Several weeks ago on an alpine adventure. No leather jacket here but temps of 15 degrees at 8,500 feet.

    Willis and Geiger B-3 jackets.

    I think I may be about to commit a blaspheme but I have had jackets from some of what we consider the finest makers. And all are beautiful jackets but spending 1K on a jacket doesn't automatically mean it is right for the wearer. I've seen $20 cheapies shine like gems on the right person...

    Willis and Geiger B-3 jackets.

    They make a fair repro of the B3. The hide is tanned differently than the originals and is not as robust and thick, still a decent jacket though. There are a lot of subtle differences from an original but for all intensive purposes it should be a great wearer that is pretty accurate to the ogs.

    USAF N-2A Jacket Extra Large

    OK... so its not leather, but it is still vintage and wicked cool. Up for grabs or trade. 1950s USAF N-2A Jacket Extra Large. Color is strong and not the usual UV faded purplish red. All zips are good. Only flaw I can find is on the left wrist cuff, where the knits are worn on the bottom (see...

    Good Wear 1920's A1

    I received my Good Wear 1920's A1 from John just yesterday. Amazing capeskin with great grain, honey gold knits and beautiful horn buttons. You will notice that the bottom two snaps have been replaced with buttons and only a single collar clasp at the neckline. But may favorite and most...

    B-3 or ANJ-4

    Yep, they had switched tanning processes by the time the ANJ-4 was standardized.

    B-3 or ANJ-4

    B3 for style, completely unmatched and iconic. ANJ-4 for utilitarian use, leather reinforced in just the right places and cuffs are cleaner cut (get less dirty). Both are two of my all time favorite jackets.

    My Aero D-1

    I love the simplicity of the D1 but it often fits like a bag. The B6 has more of a cut to it and is more form fitting. Though both are great looking sheepskins. D1 for a casual, less pretentious look and the B6 for classy high brow style.

    WTB Hartmann Jacket size 44

    Agreed ELC Hartmann is ridiculously nice. I missed out on a 44 black one recently and have been kicking myself ever since.

    WTB Hartmann Jacket size 44

    I dont know if I would call it a fake. It is more like a French civi version, if you will. Probably a period item but not a Luftwaffe jacket. The brown one is really nice but imagine purchase (without paypal) would be a pain in the a$$. Thanks for keeping a lookout for me.

    WTB Hartmann Jacket size 44

    It is a great looking Luftwaffe jacket, but it is not a Hartmann. Still on the hunt.
