    ALL REPRO R.A.F. Irvin type jackets

    This is a rare one - the dark fleece is atypical.

    "BOB" A-2 jacket by Real McCoy's

    What's the link with Air Associates? Did they supply these originally?

    "BOB" A-2 jacket by Real McCoy's

    I'm planning a purchase of an RM 37J1B jacket (Zelinski contract) very soon - an excellent product.

    Himel Brothers Leather

    Cut looks fine to me - my Type A-1 is more trim, but this is a different kettle of fish and suits the boxier pattern.

    Himel Brothers Leather

    Nice, not as fine as the buttoned variant in my view (a little more bland with a zip), but still grand.

    Me? Perish the thought... ;-)

    New Aero back designs

    Yes, on reflection I'll accept that one. If I were a sarcastic poster this is probably the point when I'd liken so many pages of heated (near vitriolic) debate concerning the position of a leather belt to 'counting stitches', but there you go...it's fortunate that I'm not so inclined. ;-)

    New Aero back designs

    Not in my book tonypaj, the buckles give the functionality, unless the belt is able to be tightened.

    If I were a sarcastic poster this is probably the point when I'd liken so many pages of heated (near vitriolic) debate concerning the position of a non-functional leather 'belt' to 'counting stitches', but there you go...it's fortunate that I'm not so inclined. ;-)

    Comparison of Type A-1 jackets (GW and ELC .50 Cal)

    No, that's about right. My chest is 42.5" and this is a good fit with room for a thin sweater or waistcoat. John's jackets run small so this is more like a larger vintage 44.

    Thanks Tom.

    Comparison of Type A-1 jackets (GW and ELC .50 Cal)

    What size are you? One of these will be for sale in a while...

    Comparison of Type A-1 jackets (GW and ELC .50 Cal)

    Yes, goatskin would work better than horse in my opinion but some cape is just so good - the ELC cape shown here is the best that I've worn.

    Comparison of Type A-1 jackets (GW and ELC .50 Cal)

    For me it's easy as I don't have a large collection: a B-15 for the cold, an A-1 for spring/summer/autumn. I'm currently selling my G&F M-422A in the classifieds as its a similar weight to the ELC A-1. I'll be buying a 37J1B repro for warmer summers. That's about it. I don't keep duplicates so...

    Comparison of Type A-1 jackets (GW and ELC .50 Cal)

    Thank you. Possibly, I'm not a big fan of posing for shots, but I'll see what I can do. Both drape very well - the GW is softer, drapes more easily.

    Comparison of Type A-1 jackets (GW and ELC .50 Cal)

    Yes, trust Maggie's instinct - she knows a capeskin, buttoned A-1 when she sees one - no zipped front for her...

    Comparison of Type A-1 jackets (GW and ELC .50 Cal)

    A zip-fronted horsehide windbreaker jacket in my eyes, but not an A-1.

    F/S Original Vintage USN Gordon and Ferguson M-422A (Size 44) - Excellent Wearable

    My vintage Gordon & Ferguson M-422A is now offered for sale - with the acquisition of my ELC .50 Cal A-1, this simply isn't going to get the wear that it deserves. This is a rare wartime goatskin jacket in a larger size (44) which is beautifully patinated and is illustrated on John Chapman's...
