    This is the Type A-1 for which I've been waiting.

    I've been in extensive discussions with Platon at Bill Kelso to work up a Type A-1 design and they have now released the first production version (http://www.billkelsomfg.com/3d/a-1/). This is a size 40 in seal brown Victory capeskin and, having handled the leather, it's very nice indeed...

    What Do You Guys Think about an A1 Type with a Leather Collar?

    This one might interest the OP - a new jacket released by Bill Kelso (the Waldo Pepper) in Lambskin - looks beautiful to me. Originally posted on VLJF. http://billkelsomfg.com/3d/waldo/ and here: more here...

    ...or something like that...er...I might have misheard his comment about the leather, but he would have said it had he thought of it... ;-)

    What did Beau Brummel say? ""If people turn to look at you on the street, you are not well dressed, but either too stiff, too tight, too fashionable, or wearing garish leather."

    Usually accompanied by a disapproving look skywards, a shake of the head and a tut, 'Sigh...mutton dressed as lamb'...

    True, but I could have have inserted 'and/or' in my view.

    I don't disagree with the principle and welcome a wider palette, but inevitably as one gets older a solid, bold colour (in a daily wear jacket) simply makes the wearer look like a cartoon character or, worse IMHO, mutton dressed as lamb. As I said earlier, on the Japanese 20-something model I'd...

    I still can't escape the feeling that this will date pretty quickly. Classic colours/designs are timeless, but those pastel jackets, white baggy trousers, bold solid colours from the '80s look hideous now.

    Information wanted re 1930s flight suit.

    Air Associates sold aviation gear (and other items) using a mail order supply house. During the 1920s/30s, they were high profile, supplying flight apparel to Lindbergh and Earhart, amongst others. More details here (http://www.library.hbs.edu/hc/lehman/chrono.html?company=air_associates_inc)...
