    A2 jacket fit - honest opinions requested

    Both jackets look good but if I had to pick just one, I like the fit of the ELC just a tad more than the GW.

    G-1 / M-422A USN Jacket Triubute Project Comes To Fruition

    If that size 48 Star Sportswear G-1 doesn't fit quite right, I'm sure there would be some interested parties if you opted to sell it! ;)

    Dare to Dream: Your "Ultimate" Leather Jacket

    I just ordered my "dream jacket" (Eastman Air Comfort), but getting the Grumman Goose seaplane (which logically should go with the jacket) past my wife might be a bit tougher!

    Problems with Aero Jacket and Talon Zipper

    I love this forum! No matter what post I read I learn some new esoterica. Full grain vs top grain. Hide tanning techniques. Now zipper gap settings/repair. The more I think I know, the more I'm amazed by the cumulative knowledge of all those here on TFL. :)

    Aero Leather new natural veg tanned Vicenza horsehide

    Anyone who loves baseball and still fondly remembers his favorite glove from when he was a kid would probably find the burnished, banged up natural leather of the jacket quite appealing. Maybe not as an everyday wearer but it could fill a special niche in one's wardrobe.

    Flyers Intermediate G1

    This size 46 beauty by Star Sportswear is almost mint and sold for $58 (!!!). Sadly, not to me (I saw it right after the bidding ended).There are definitely bargains to be had.

    Flyers Intermediate G1

    There are plenty of vintage G-1's in size 38 and 40 to be found in excellent condition (the larger sizes are more difficult to come by). Find a nice 1950's-1960's G-1 with real mouton collar and a true military pedigree.

    G1 Jacket Advice

    I've owned afew G-1 jackets over the years. Currently I have a 1950's LW Foster size 44 which is really nice. For me, the best G-1 I've ever owned turned out to be a 1962 Ralph Edwards B model.

    Steve S M-422a Build Thread

    Gibson & Barnes make nice jackets but the sizing is definitely hit and miss. I've visited them in San Diego a couple of times and it paid off in getting to try on multiple jacket styles in different sizes. I ended up getting one Civil A-2 and one Mark 31 A-2 in size 42 long as well as a Raider...
