new Schott jackets
If I were to play Devil's advocate, 'Anniversary edition A2 jacket. Worn by USAAF fliers in the early 1940s, and created from the original Schott NYC government contract pattern.' One could split that text so that the NYC Government contract might have been placed with Schott to clothe NYC...- Dr H

U.S. Wings G1
It's a common problem for me. Most of my leather jackets (purchased second/third hand) have needed about 1-1.5" removed). I use a local small business that specialises in repairing bike leathers. Typical cost is £20, turnaround less than a week.- Dr H

A-1 Jacket / A1 Flying Jacket - The ultimate Golden Era flying accessory!
As you say Baron, the Type A-1 mil spec is pretty well documented, but the sports/cycling/civilian flying/windcheater jackets have been around for ages in all sorts of configurations.- Dr H

A-1 Jacket / A1 Flying Jacket - The ultimate Golden Era flying accessory!
The comment about A-1 purists probably relates to historically accurate choice of hide (i.e. Capeskin), number of buttons, position of pockets, etc. plenty of threads/vintage images on FL if you're interested.- Dr H

Aero Fit?
The fit about your chest/shoulders/arms looks fine, but the flare at the navel suggests that if the jacket hasn't been cinched then it needs to be (as that's not a flattering cut and it wouldn't really diminish when layered. Try taking in the straps by half and photographing again. For a more...- Dr H

Coldest Weather I've been in
I attended a polymer conference in Niagara Falls in 2013 and visited several vineyards; the effect of the escarpment on the temperature/rainfall came up in all of the tour guide's spiel. A good year for ice wine perhaps?- Dr H

Help removing Aero Highwayman puller/chain from zipper
You're going to have to explain that one to a UK audience Seb. Tassels I can understand, but a pastie is a shortcrust pastry case with a crimped edge containing meat and vegetables. Slightly less easy to set in motion I feel... :-S- Dr H

New Pike Bros N-1 Deck Jacket
Biggles I've owned both BR N-1 jackets in the regular and sea water wash versions. The latter is a slightly heavier fabric (a little closer in weight to an original), but with a significantly coarser lining (which resembles the original less closely). I wear Good Wear Leather A-1 and A-2...- Dr H

New Pike Bros N-1 Deck Jacket
Scott, I'd try a reasonably dry sponge and paint. I have some off cuts of jungle cloth from shortened sleeves. Shall I drop one in the post to you for practice?- Dr H

In coarse naval slang, 'a monkey's toss' (i.e. Worthless); later sanitised to 'a monkey's uncle' (not sure what the latter implied).- Dr H

New Pike Bros N-1 Deck Jacket
Tricky. I was about to suggest stencil and paint, but jungle cloth is pretty absorbent and I'd worry about bleeding unless it's a relatively dry brush/sponge. I like the mittens: I'm looking for a trad watch cap to go with mine.- Dr H
