    NFL clubs should consider recruiting him as a full back. Imagine this beast with the ball on the 2 yard line.

    Aero relaunch of Brando On The Waterfront jacket

    That's well spotted. A lot of early woollen work style jackets were unlined. I have one Cushman repro that is like this. I guess it should be an option especially if maximum authenticity is desired. Most new buyers would likely prefer theirs lined though. Correcting the zipper pull is an easy fix.

    Skin choices in leather jackets

    THe vest is matt black with side lacing. The breast panels are more knobbly and the whole vest looks quite attractive if on the wild side. From a safety POV quite impracticle though.

    Skin choices in leather jackets

    A guy who works for me had a crocodile vest made in Thailand for about $400. He wears it on his bike which also has a custom made crocodile skin seat. The vest looks more wearable than a jacket but is all for show. Of course he rides a tricked up Harley with all the adornments. Whole kangaroo...

    Aero relaunch of Brando On The Waterfront jacket

    Ordered mine over the weekend. Asked for black cotton drill lining as on their older version. Alpaca is overkill for Australia.

    Ebay...price gouging fees.

    If it wasn't for PayPal, I would be at least $4000 poorer by now over the years and be stuck with a load of phony junk and stuff that never arrived.

    Ebay...price gouging fees.

    I guess market accessibility has a price. I have bought and sold things that may have been near impossible without Ebay access. And they are still nowhere near as bad as auction houses who gouge both buyer and seller and charge both the buyer and seller 20% or more each on every item sold.

    Help sourcing Zipper pulls

    Here is a page from the Waldes vintage zipper catalogue. Don't know who may stock these but they have a vast selection. http://www.waldes.co.jp/waldes2012.pdf

    Anyone confirm this jacket? Any idea, age and price guide?

    Never heard of the brand. Looks like a reasonable quality modern generic A-2 of fairly recent manufacture of middling to low value.

    NorShor Leather Custom Made A-1 Cape Leather Flight Jacket, 42-44

    You should make it worldwide shipping in your listing. This jacket is of limited enthusiast appeal and will have just as big a market worldwide. The rest of the world will not see your listing.

    NorShor Leather Custom Made A-1 Cape Leather Flight Jacket, 42-44

    That capeskin is fantastic and likely never to be available again.

    Aero relaunch of Brando On The Waterfront jacket

    Yeah, probably wishful thinking but I will for sure order one at 350. I like wool jackets that are styled on classic leather jackets. Cushman from Japan have made some limited edition beauties.

    I hope they keep it the same price as the old one at 280 quid.

    Where could I find a jacket like this one?

    That's good to hear. I will be putting my order in when officially for sale. I hope they offer both the red and green. At this stage more likely to go for the green though I will be happy to buy the red one also.

    Request Help in Identifying the maker of this A-1 Capeskin Flight Jacket

    You could be right. The Label is also identical to yours and GW's. We have to find out if BK used the same capeskin which is not common.

    Yes the colar details appear identical to a Norshor I own. Mark Fisher may have sourced both the cape skin and label from John Chapman.

    Request Help in Identifying the maker of this A-1 Capeskin Flight Jacket

    A comparison of the label used by Good Wear and Kalev's jacket. Both are identical in every detail. I know Mark Fisher sourced his capeskin from John Chapman a while back and I believe he does not put size labels in his jackets. I have two of them with no size labels including one made of...

    Not a 100% sure but I believe Good Wear may have tried out a few variations of this jacket in the past. Could also be made by Norshor's Mark Fisher. That reptilian cape skin looks like the type used by both a while back.

    Who has a Dubow 20960?

    One thing about A2 jacket contracts is that the earlier ones have more refined detail and complex construction whilst many of the later ones are simplified as much as possible due to wartime necessity. That may be a consideration for some.
