    New 2014 Aero styles

    There are domestic goats and there are also mountain/wild goats (different breeds). I believe most of the lighter, more-evenly grained 2.5 oz hides are domestic goats. Anything heavier (with more pronounced, irregular grain) could be wild mountain goat hide.

    Famous People in Flight Jackets

    There's a video link over on The Aviation Forum showing him flying the Mustang (they mounted a small camera in the cockpit) along with quite a bit of discussion from aviation-types remarking on Cruise and his airplane.

    B-15: your thoughts

    LW has a B-15 on their website which looks quite robust (though possibly not quite as accurate as Buzz Rickson or ELC). Just another option...

    How did Aero get the Highwayman name from Lewis Leathers ?

    Ah, thanks for that info! I hope that's the case; would love to see JC's versions of both a W&G and Switlik M-422 jacket!!!!

    How did Aero get the Highwayman name from Lewis Leathers ?

    Smithy I totally agree. I wonder about the original manufacturers of the Navy's M-422 jacket, Switlik Parachute Company and Willis&Geiger. If JC wanted to replicate these rare original contract jackets, there could be some legal conflict over the label since Switlik is still around (making...

    J.A. Dubow ac20960

    The DuBow 20960 is such a superb example of the A-2 it was the contract/model I chose when I ordered a GW repro from JC afew years ago. Truly an iconic contract and the "crown jewel" of any collection.

    Reproduction Duplication

    I think Steve has us all beat in the "coolness" department; and his A-2 was an original (Roughwear, I believe). "The Great Escape" (and McQueen's Virgil Hilts character) certainly struck a chord in popular culture that still resonates today.

    Deerskin

    Very cool jacket; I looked at the Real McCoy's website and they've got lots of very nice stuff. Apparently the Joe McCoy line is all vintage workwear inspired clothing; everything from leather jackets to throwback style t-shirts. The deerskin jacket is listed as "30's deerskin sports...

    Aero 1920s Original Hercules

    It's your jacket Schitz so if you're happy then that's what counts; but since you asked for opinions, IMHO it's a bit short for my taste.
