    And probably warmer too, I'd venture.

    Wonderful jacket! I checked the BK website but the Wingman was not yet listed. It will be a tough decision on which jacket to order next!

    Aero Oil Pull Leather - please show pics!

    Drastically different from an oil-pull Aero A-2 I had about 7 or 8 years ago. Mine looked more like the one in their website photos. And I agree with Eggleman; I also have a sample of AL Mongolian HH which this Aero hide closely resembles.

    Eastman - a new direction?

    From Eastman product expansion to Hell's Angels to Quentin Crisp; now that's what I call thread deviation (no pun intended). Deviation (as used here) is a term in marine navigation where a magnetic compass deviates from an intended true course heading due to magnetic interference. TFL is always...

    Eastman - a new direction?

    Pre-distressed/ripped jeans. Rubber "mud" splatter. In a world of "instant vintage", where does the rapid distressing/color-losing Horween CXL leather fit in? Or Eastman's Time-worn finish?

    Eastman - a new direction?

    As long as they don't go down the same path as Avirex (and I suspect that they won't). Once Avirex branched out and got away from their military themed clothing, it was the "kiss of death". They weren't the most accurate repro makers, but they had a thriving business and did have some cool...

    U.S. Wings G1

    Sleeves look good; most folks never use those leather hanger tabs (even when sewn thru the leather). They use a wood hanger or just drape the jacket over a chair or on the sofa (or the floor? LOL). If yours is only sewn thru the nylon/rayon lining, it's only a matter of time before it rips...

    Rainbow Country A-2 Dubow 27798

    They do make LW in "Long" sizes Fanch (I have one of their A-2 jackets in 46 L). Worth the extra cost to get that perfect fit.

    Russet vs Seal

    Then there's ELC "walnut" and "Havana brown". Definitely need more than one A-2!

    Rainbow Country A-2 Dubow 27798

    Nice looking jacket; checked on-line and list price is $1741. Hope that jacket is all that you want it to be. Good luck with the break-in (that's half the fun!).

    Eastman's Air Comfort civil flight jacket

    That Air Comfort design is kind of a cross between the A-2, the G-1 and the B-15; alot of military fliers would've loved it had it been a military-issue garment (call it the AN-J-5!).

    New Alexander Leather Roadster too tight?

    Good point Edward; some jacket patterns just don't lend themselves to certain body types/physiques. I suppose that's the biggest drawback to buying a leather jacket (even one that's custom-made) on-line with no try-on.

    Coldest Weather I've been in

    We got 10 inches of snow on the road, and 6 inch thick ice on the river. Great day to be a ferry boat pilot.

    New Alexander Leather Roadster too tight?

    The jacket's shoulder point (where top of sleeve meets body) squares up nicely on you. If you go a size up, the shoulder point will be wider and you'll get a slightly off-the-shoulder (and less fitted) look. Just something to consider when sizing up in a jacket. NICE looking jacket!
