    Famous People in Flight Jackets

    It was Luftwaffe ace Adolf Galland who wore a captured British RAF Irvin jacket in WWII; there were also photos of other Luftwaffe pilots wearing captured American A-2 and B-3 jackets later in the war.

    Aero M-422a

    The Aero is a basic reproduction and not based on a specific M-422 WWII contract such as Willis and Geiger or Gordon and Ferguson (WWII G&F jackets were known for their wider left pocket and the salmon red lining). Bill Kelso, Eastman and Goodwear all make much better/more accurate reproductions...

    This or That: Eastman or Rainbow Country

    I like the Eastman; I like that the side tabs align with the half-belt (looks neater IMHO), the bi-swing back (comfortable and provides better freedom of movement) and simpler, more utilitarian back panel seam arrangement looks good, and the leather has a lot of natural grain and character, even...

    Oooh... Pacific Issue A-2 In Australian Sheepskin

    Very cool "distressed" looking sheepskin A-2; not sure about the durability of that specific hide though. Kinda reminds me of the Ralph Lauren RRL "authentic" A-2 that were selling for $1,000 (great looking and reasonably authentic but made in China). Still, a nice looking jacket (and not your...

    Black jacket worn by Karl Urban in Almost Human TV show?

    According to "FilmJackets.com" the jacket is made by Diesel; it's their M-15 bomber jacket (with a few minor modifications to set it apart from their off-the-rack standard model).

    Goodwear Star A-2

    As unique and conclusive as a human fingerprint! Good forensics at work to settle the identity of this jacket :-)

    Alexander Leathers

    I had a Schott 689HH with that same bi-swing back and it works very well; gives extra freedom of movement and no chance of an errant "bat-wing" effect.

    World's Most Expensive A-2 Jacket Ever

    In "Hell bent for leather", the authors state that one of MacArthur's A-2 jackets was stolen from the MacArthur Memorial in the early 1970's. First a theft, then a sale. Hopefully Mac had lots of A-2 jackets and at least one or two are on public display somewhere.

    A-1 Jacket / A1 Flying Jacket - The ultimate Golden Era flying accessory!

    Still a no-no as per U.S. Navy regs. They issue gloves for cold weather, no hands in pockets allowed.

    A-1 Jacket / A1 Flying Jacket - The ultimate Golden Era flying accessory!

    Too bad about the small pockets; I thought a wallet or iPhone might fit but I guess not. That's my one reservation about these new "aeronaut" style button-front aviator jackets that afew manufacturers are producing: small button-close pockets. Probably accurate to 1920's styling but not very...
