    Doctor Needed for Button Overprotection Syndrome

    Vespizzare, I'm not sure quite why you're getting concerned. I use my ELC 0.50 cal A-1 all the time (just returned to the house after a soaking from an unexpected shower) - I don't baby the jacket at all. If I were to lose a button, I'd contact ELC for a replacement (and pay pennies) and hand...

    For Sale: Buzz Rickson Tanker olive green, slash pockets (size 44R)

    I'm selling my BR Tanker is in really nice condition (no stains, no holes, no smells, knits all very good), but it's not getting the use that I thought it would as my N-1 does the job of the cold weather jacket. It's a really warm and comfortable jacket though - easy to wear with the pleated...

    For Sale Willis & Geiger Bureau of Aeronautics Summer Flying Jacket NA-1 (size 44)

    I have a Willis & Geiger NA-1 (their 37J1B replica) in a true 44 for sale. The dimensions are: Pit to pit - 24" Down Back - 25" (excluding collar knit) Sleeves - 26.5" Shoulders - 19.5" The zipper is a replica 30s Talon (smooth action) and the pockets are the bellows type with...

    About to order a Waldo Pepper...

    No problem, Mark. The collar knit has to be right with the A-1 - or else it lets the whole jacket down (along with the other key details, like the lighter, more flexible hide). Some of the modern manufacturers make a simple tube knit with buttons/leather loops and this sits really poorly when...

    Bill Kelso Aeronaut A1- Which Lining Should I Choose?

    Yes, olive lining gets my vote too - unless you do want to join The Bay City Rollers, Bret? (still treading the boards...) ;)

    Bill Kelso Aeronaut A1- Which Lining Should I Choose?

    Hmmm...not a big fan of tartan in jacket linings and facings (bit 'Bay City Rollers' for me). I'd go plain, but if you had to go for one Bret, your choice looks just fine. If I were pressed to select a tartan, I'd go for fourth down on the left, or second down on the right - something more...

    BK A-1... Mark, I'm near Fleet (about 12 miles away from you) if you want to see my jacket.

    ALL REPRO R.A.F. Irvin type jackets

    Thanks Jabos - that 2-panel Links Irvin is an original and was made in 1939 or thereabouts (possibly used over France as the older repairs to the arms suggest entry/exit from a narrow cockpit), so the figuring that has developed on the 30-year old Cockpit Clothing jacket is a good match for the...

    ALL REPRO R.A.F. Irvin type jackets

    Thanks Andrew, I loved the 2-panel Links, but I felt a bit concerned wearing it sometimes (when it might have sustained damage). This will be a happier compromise for the coldest dog walks in the woods! It just needs an elastic strap from ELC now and Rob Brace will supply one.

    About to order a Waldo Pepper...

    Extremely happy with my experience of the Type A-1 (in the seal version of the same, very fine capeskin). Excellent service and workmanship of a very high order.

    ALL REPRO R.A.F. Irvin type jackets

    This is my 'new' Irvin (new to me at least), from John Lever. This is one of the rare very early Cockpit Clothing Southampton jackets from the same period as the early Eastmans. John estimates this as being from the late 1980's or early 1990's. Having worn it, the pattern is an excellent copy...

    Original A-1

    I believe so. It's the same capeskin that I have on the A-1 (albeit more russet) and it beautifully grained - exactly like originals - and pliable.

    Very good Irvin repro F/S. 42/44

    Very pleased to be buying this one - I've admired the early Cockpit Clothing jackets for a while. It'll be a good replacement for my old Links Irvin (this looks to have been based on the 1942 Links pattern) and it came from my home town too :)
