    BK A-2. *w/pictures

    My first A-2 was a vintage Perry Sportswear 23377 in a size 40 (it was possibly closer to a vintage 42). I could get into the jacket, but suffered for months with tight armholes, cutting circulation. It was a beautiful jacket (excellent well patinated goatskin shell, lining in great condition...

    Succinctly put as ever, Van. That sums it up well. My last post on it, promise.

    Yes, but 10,000 of those are me just checking to see whether it's finished yet ;-)

    Horween USA and Aero Leather Joint Statement

    I don't believe that FL members know the full extent of the problem, but nor do I believe that it will be revealed by prolonging the thread (since the key lies in identifying the hides or asking the staff responsible for the cutting/selling the hides to comment, which is unlikely to happen). I...

    Horween USA and Aero Leather Joint Statement

    I don't think so (I have no axe to grind and absolutely no loyalty to Aero, who ruined one of my jackets), more a question of going round and round the houses with little result. As I suggested before, if in doubt, contact Aero directly with details - they clearly have no time to respond to...

    Anj-3 makers?

    Epaulettes in English too (we have stolen many words from the French over the years); epaulets in American.

    Horween USA and Aero Leather Joint Statement

    I agree with Van (HD). The issue has been well aired; the problem well explained and it is getting repetitious. If you have a jacket of the style/hide/colour/weight about which you're concerned it seems most sensible to contact Aero directly to solve it.

    Anj-3 makers?

    No problem. Too rare a beast to have the luxury of choice :-)

    Anj-3 makers?

    I have an original mil spec AN-J-3 for sale in a 44-46 if you're interested (although it does has eps)?

    So whose boots are cooler, mine or my wife's?

    M422-A Flight Jacket

    Glenn, the civy AN-J-3 (a Doniger) fits as a (vintage) 42 and is in great condition. The mil spec AN-J-3 (untagged, unknown maker) is a generous 44, but has seen more use with some period repairs to a sleeve (replaced cuffs and lining). I can't PM you, but contact me if you're interested.

    A-1 Jacket / A1 Flying Jacket - The ultimate Golden Era flying accessory!

    Thanks John, better images than I have to hand. I've now fixed the button holes so that they look close to machine stitched examples.

    A-1 Jacket / A1 Flying Jacket - The ultimate Golden Era flying accessory!

    My GW A-1, same vintage (jacket number 2, tagged 46 but a 44) from CBI has the same cape. It's now painted (by CBI) as a jacket from the USAAC 8th Attack Squadron using very convincing aged paint. It has an American bald eagle perched on the Liberty Bell on the chest, a 'USAAC' on the yoke, and...
