    Aero A-2 pattern test jacket 42-44

    That is some great hide! Looks alot like the original Aero A-2 worn by Art Garfunkel's character in the movie "Catch 22". If it was a size 46....sigh!

    Different color knits.

    Try orchardmotorcycledist.inc on eBay. I've ordered afew cuffs/waistbands from them and they are good quality, come in a variety of colors and inexpensive ($12 for the cuffs AND waistband!). Plus they are in NY (Long Island City, Queens, I believe).

    Bill Kelso Rough Wear Reproduction

    They also do a long/tall size for the taller guys out there at no extra charge (as long as you don't require more then 2 extra inches in sleeve or body length). They quoted me a price of 580 Euros for a 46L Arco (Aero) A-2 in dark seal HH shipped to the U.S. I'm tempted to pull the trigger but...

    I had an ELC 55J14 afew years ago but have sold it; I found it to be made of thick goatskin that was stiiff at first but eventually broke in. Great details, excellent workmanship. Quite form-fitting but not overly restrictive. Just size up if you prefer more room. I now have an ELC repro Gordon...

    New Rough Wear A-2 Repro

    I had a Made-in-China russet brown Roughwear; it had a nice caramel brown tone and fit me spot on. Perfect stitching, quality workmanship and a solid Talon repro zip. The only flaws to me were that there was no grain (very smooth horsehide) and when the finish/topcoat started to wear off a...

    New (To Me) Real McCoy G-1

    Looks similar to the vintage goatskin G-1 from The Cockpit (formerly Avirex) that I have. They use very nice goatskin with lots of graining and patina and some hand-rubbed wear areas for a truly vintage look without all the phoney distressing on other jackets. Yours is a nice jacket! If your...

    Khaki's with a vintage motorcycle jacket?

    Somehow, I think if Steve McQueen had worn dirty khakis stained with motorcycle oil with his black leather jacket, we'd all give that look a thumbs up!

    Back from hibernation, new jacket to show...

    Looks like a well-made, quality jacket. Some of the old sheepskin M-444/M-445 Navy jackets from WW2 had extreme contrasts between the dark seal leather and the fur/shearling collars and linings.Your jacket reminds me a bit of the WW2 b&w photos of Naval aviators in their sheepskin jackets. I...

    Navy 37J1 influences Orvis "A-2"

    I believe the original 37J1A jackets were made of a heavy duty waxed cotton/canvas that must have been water-repellant (if not 100% waterproof). The W&G are nice civilized copies of that jacket. Filson makes a great waxed cotton canvas in various weights and styles that is near waterproof and...

    Navy 37J1 influences Orvis "A-2"

    I love the Orvis re-design and have always liked the Willis & Geiger NA-1 (their version of the 1930's 37J1A). The prices on eBay for most vintage W&G items has steadily increased over the years as more and more people start to appreciate W&G quality and classic designs. I have lots of W&G...

    Goodwear A-2 vs. Californian Ventura

    A-2 or Californian Ventura....it's like choosing between vanilla or chocolate ice cream. Both are good and most people enjoy both. There's no "right" or "wrong" choice. Enjoy!
