    Best MA-1 repro?

    What about Gibson & Barnes? They make fine leather jackets, the satin flight jackets should be nice as well. Plus they do not have that agent-orange lining!

    Leather Coats Etc.

    Leather Coats Etc. is running a 20% off sale, including free shipping, through May 30th. Just bought an A-2, made in the USA, one piece back, for a very attractive price. Planning to stick some patches on it. For those of you who are purists, don't waste your time...these have side entry pockets...

    Quatermaster Inspector's B-10

    Yes...we are all waiting for some 8X10 glossy's!

    Quatermaster Inspector's B-10

    This is the EXACT same jacket referred to in the OP.

    Quatermaster Inspector's B-10

    The collar is not synthetic...real fur. Alpaca / Wool blend lining.

    Quatermaster Inspector's B-10

    QMI USAF B-10...anyone know this jacket? This was the original thread on the subject.

    Quatermaster Inspector's B-10

    The people at QMI never will reply, no matter how many times you email them. No one here seems to know anything either.

    Quatermaster Inspector's B-10

    I already asked this same question...some time ago, with little response / feedback.

    Gibson and Barnes

    Is there not a recent thread here devoted to this subject, with comments from some actual jacket manufacturing reps that was EXTREMELY informational? Yes, there is! The search engine is your friend...well, maybe not this search engine.

    Who has the best leather?

    Just remember that almost all leather is imported, the Middle East (Pakistan) being the primary supplier.

    Gibson and Barnes

    Mass produced? Not really. My experience is that the jacket was made to order for me. Same with my friends B-3, made to order...just like Whataburger! Not sure what character is, unless you are referring to some people. My jacket fits nicely, is very well made, looks good, and is warm. Many...

    Gibson and Barnes

    Another thing...G&B is one of the nicest jackets I have ever owned. I'm certain that you will like yours. I would call them to discuss size issues, even send them your measurements.

    The Netherlands vs. the USA?

    Don't see that many in North Texas. Perhaps I just don't get out enough...Ha!

    Gibson and Barnes

    Oh yes, shipping charges. Gotta get it right the first time!

    Gibson and Barnes

    This question has pretty much been beat to death here...but here we go again! My G&B A-2, size 42R, is a near perfect fit for me in the shoulders, and perhaps just a tad more generous thru the waist. A size 40R also fits me fine. If you do a search, you can find my photos and actual jackets...

    The Netherlands vs. the USA?

    Yes, they do. Visited one on my last trip. It was a nice day so we walked all over the place, went thru the famous "Red Light" district, went on down to a local brewery, then had dinner at a very nice Italian restaurant. The leather jacket, A-2 especially, is popular over there.

    The Netherlands vs. the USA?

    Can't help but notice on my frequent travels to Amsterdam the number of A-2's, G-1's and various other leather flight jackets being worn by the locals. Far more than I see here in Texas, or anywhere else in the USA. Is this a Dutch thing? Maybe a European thing for wearing American type WWII...

    Sub $300 USA Made A-2's

    Never thought of it in this light...a good analogy, by the way.

    Sub $300 USA Made A-2's

    A Yugo, or perhaps a Pacer...
