    The demise of the loose fit

    I can't do tight jackets. Take the G-1 for example. I see a lot of posts about how a G-1 "should" fit and see a lot of accompanying photos of guys in jackets that look so tight in the body that it seems like it would bust at the seams if they were to bend over. The G-1 is a working jacket. If...

    Ha,ha... I wish. I'd be over there buying Eastman out right about now if that were the case.

    Denim Jackets - New or Vintage

    I really have no idea why, but when I saw this thread the first thing that popped into my mind was Kevin Bacon in "Tremors".

    That's the concern which has kept me from actually doing it.

    my dry cleaner he cleans leather jackets

    The subject of this discussion is actually why I finally joined the lounge. I have an older A2 that I discovered in the closet had some serious mold due to the high humidity here in France. I followed all the advice I discovered here and got the leather cleaned up nicely. But the liner... eesh...

    Leather jackets colours...

    Some people just have a look that works. There's a guy we fly with who can wear, and pull-off, an ascot tie. He looks great in one too! If I wore one I'd probably get beat up.

    Women can rock jackets like that. My former boss used to wear something similar in an almost electric blue and she wore it well.

    Me and a French pilot did a side-by-side comparison between the G&B model and the real thing. The G&B is made of a noticeably superior leather and zipper, the issued Armeé de l'air jacket has an oval shaped sleeve pocket. Other than that G&B hit it pretty close.

    Leather jackets colours...

    Yep, G&B and a real shame it's gone now as it's a really nice jacket, it really exceeded my expectations when I received it. Got it on clearance when they were liquidating stock and once the guys in my shop saw it in person, they snatched up the remaining sizes. I regret not nabbing their...

    At work right now. I will try to post one later for you. Guess I should have wrote that different, the jacket is the traditional French blueish-gray. Edit: here is a photo I found online. My jacket looks the same, the fur and liner are removable and there is a pouch inside with an orange nylon...

    Cooper A-2 question

    Not going to hijack the thread but check out JBMilart.com for your patch. Jim did a time worn leather version of the 586th bombardment squadron for me and it came out very nice, and it's on one of my Cooper jackets!
