    Which is your favorite G-1?

    That Excelled can be bought for $232. USA made, free shipping. The only reason I did not buy it was the fake fur.

    Which is your favorite G-1?

    I would go for a 42. Call them up and ask. They talked me into a 44. Wish I would have taken a 42 instead. Great G-1.

    U.S. Authentic (Shaul)

    Shaul gave me the specs on both a 40 and a 42. This was after I gave him my personal data, and my desire for the jacket size. He said the 40 would be a good trim fit, while the 42 would allow for layering underneath, such as a sweater. I ordered the 40R. Note that my new 42R Cockpit G-1 was sold...

    Which is your favorite G-1?

    In their Signature G-1? Because they are all different. I would try a 42.

    Which is your favorite G-1?

    I wear a 40R or 42R. The US Wings is a 44R. The fit is good, but a bit longer than I like in the back and sleeves. These do run small. Excelled runs large. I have their A-2 in a 38R.

    Any feedback on these guys? Quality of their jackets, and their customer service? It appears they have an "off the rack" G-1 that would be a good fit for me. I just pulled the trigger, ordered the G-1 in a 40R. This was Shaul's recommendation for a "fitted" look.

    Which is your favorite G-1?

    From terms of quality of construction, and quality of the leather, my U.S. Wings Signature G-1 is hard to beat. It is actually the USCG issue jacket. I was advised that it is actually made by Schott. Slightly better overall than my G&B jacket.

    Just found out, G&B no longer does any custom work. Period.

    Scandalous!: Nylon Better than Leather for Wearing?

    Going to visit Titan Aircraft in Ohio tomorrow to check on my Mustang. Trying to decide...the Vintage B-15, or the CWU-45P? They are both warmer than any of my G-1's or A-2's.

    Legendary Hellcat G-1?

    Deacon: My Cockpit G-1 fit like the photo in post #16. But the sleeves were a bit long. I was told this is due to the DOD specs. And when sitting, jacket zipped up, it was not comfortable. But the Cockpit was a very "flattering" jacket. Kinda wish I did not sell it...the best thing about Cockpit...

    Based on the photos here, I ordered the movie, $18 with shipping. Bluray. I think it was filmed mostly at Carswell, in Ft. Worth.

    Jacket sizing and correct measurements.

    Here is a great link on sizing and how to measure. Note that both the slim fit and relaxed fit jackets are historically correct, at least in an A-2. http://www.billkelsomfg.com/clients/BILLKELSO_size_guidance.pdf

    Outside of the Warbird community, Thom Richard might not be well known. But this is a cool photo anyway.

    I am old enough to have seen a number of these fashions come and go, only to repeat the cycle. Skin tight jeans, loose and baggy jeans, skin tight jeans, baggy jeans...etc. Bell bottoms, straight cut legs, bell bottoms, straight cut legs, bell bottoms... When the designers run out of ideas...
