    US Authentic G-8

    I've always liked the G-8 design. I have a Lost Worlds "Raider" jacket (a G-8) and it's a cool jacket which is practical, stylish and comfortable. Good luck with your US-A G-8 order and please post pics once it arrives.

    Excelled Sheepskin and Leather Company G-1 Jackets

    I'm really liking that Excelled leather; looks very grainy and robust. I've just added the gov't issued, mil-spec Excelled G-1 (size 48) to my wish list.

    Excelled Sheepskin and Leather Company G-1 Jackets

    That Excelled zipper is reminiscent of the G-1 A-series zipper (not the 1950's "AER" G-1, but the 7823-A; the B series jackets started with the paper clip style zipper puller).

The front 2-way pockets hold a lot of gear: I can fit my iPhone 6-Plus on one side and my over-stuffed Filson wallet in the other with ample room for my hands in the hand warmer pockets (plus room for my keys or other stuff in there next to my...

    U.S. Border Patrol leather jacket

    I pilot a big old ferryboat. Most days it's the best job in the world, but then there's fog or ice or nor'easters or Sully crash landing a US Airways jet into the Hudson. Then it gets exciting!

    U.S. Border Patrol leather jacket

    This one's definitely a keeper. It's the only black leather jacket in my arsenal and it fits me like a bespoke jacket. Also, at my job as a passenger vessel boat captain it lends itself well to that professional uniform appearance :D

    US Authentic A-2 fit

    My US Authentic A-2 fits me very well. I think with modernized patterns for 21st century customers, it's trial and error to find the right manufacturer for one's particular physique and preferred fit.
