    NEW Aero Board Racer and opinions needed...

    I once photo-copied a picture of the jacket I was ordering and wrote detailed measurements in various areas of the jacket photo so that it was nearly a builder's blueprint of the jacket I wanted and exactly where I was measuring from/to with precise start and end points on the jacket. Totally...

    Raph Edwards Sportswear G-1

    Yes, I would say you are correct; judging by the posted label info, jacket seems to date to 1964. Post up some pics when it arrives!

    RMC Steinbeck Sports Jacket

    Cool jacket Zaten. It's a good design that can be worn on a variety of occasions, from t-shirt and jeans casual to khakis and button-down shirt semi-formal. Wear it in good health....and welcome to the exalted status of "contributing member". :p:D

    US Authentic G-8

    @Hypoxic you're more than welcome here in the friendly Big Apple! A city of 8 million all coexesisting in (mostly) peace and harmony. Yes, I'm a ferry boat captain in NY harbor. Between 28 years as a licensed merchant marine officer while simultaneously putting in 26 years of Navy/Navy Reserve...

    US Authentic G-8

    For the record, I'm not trying to hijack this thread first posted by @Hypoxic. Just wanted to augment his post with my G-8 purchase for maximum info sharing. I give full credit to @Hypoxic for getting me to pull the trigger on a jacket I've eyeballed for a long time. This US A G-8 is already a...

    US Authentic G-8

    Ok @Seb Lucas as soon as I get a chance I'll have my wife snap a photo of the back. And I totally agree with you; the G-8 back design is nicer than the Indy.

    Bill Kelso "Cuoio" Aeronaut natural Badalassi

    I thought I once read on the BK Facebook page that they do free alterations? It might be worth a shot to ask them about a re-make or if an alteration of the length of this particular jacket is possible. Just a thought :rolleyes:

    US Authentic G-8

    The G-8 is a great hybrid Indy/barnstormer/ersatz 1930's Navy flight jacket that is functional, stylish and has a military flair that I love. It's overall look harkens back to the golden age of aviation (1920's-1930's): open cockpit bi-planes, Pan Am Clipper flying boats, and newspaper headlines...

    US Authentic G-8

    Ok, ok, I admit it; after reading this post and seeing the photos, I decided I just HAD to have a U.S. Authentic G-8. I opted for their standard mid-brown goatskin with an extra inch in sleeve & body length. The goatskin has some great sheen and luster (nothing like their rather bland website...

    Cockpit 100 Mission G-1

    You can also ask Steve Sellers (Greatest Generation Clothing Co.) if he will swap out the mouton fur. Steve does great custom work (his repro M-422a jackets are sweet!) and has access to some really awesome red/rust brown mouton which would look amazing on a 100-mission G-1.

    Am I crazy for not loving my new Aero horsehide jacket?

    I think if we all had to survive in some futuristic post-apocalyptic dystopian hell hole, FQHH or some super heavy Lost Worlds HH is the way to go. You wouldn't have a closet full of light, medium and heavyweight leather jackets to choose from; in fact, you wouldn't even have a closet! Just the...
