    Good Wear Type A-1 (size 44-46) domestic capeskin 8th Attack Squadron Replica

    Good Wear Leather Type A-1 (size 44-46) from 2008 This jacket is the second Type A-1 that John Chapman made and is tailored in the older US domestic capeskin, which has the best match for the thickness and depth of grain seen in period photos. The leather is soft but strong and the drape is...

    Do Mouton/Fur Collars Do Anything Really Functional?

    Recently, I've been using my Gordon and Ferguson M-422A on less bitter days and an ELC Roughwear B-10 when the sleet has been in the air. With the collars up there is ample protection for cheeks against the keen wind. The B-10 always feels warm with the collar up or down, but the depth of the...

    Bill Kelso A-2's - What's the consensus?

    John Chapman offers a Perry Sportswear 23377 (goat) - it's a cracking jacket: I've owned a couple (and four originals) and he has really nailed the pattern.

    Here's a relevant thread: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?44154-20s-Navy-Leather-Jackets& In which the BuAer 37J1 - based largely on the A-1, but with the mid-chest pockets and several different knit collars (varsity style (non-buttoning); single button; single snap; and double...

    Only Angels Have Wings

    You're right Baron, the services maintained quite discrete jacket requirements until ca. 1942-3 with the short-lived introduction of the AN-J-3 (in an attempt to satisfy both requirements with an A-2 type jacket with a bi-swing back). This failed to meet with favour and the USAAF went down the...

    I wouldn't want to contemplate an expanding navel thank you... ;-)

    Only Angels Have Wings

    It's the naval-type (rather than USAAC) A-1, so it's a 37J1, or version of one - again, like the A-1 there were different manufacturers with different detailing.

    Bill Kelso A-2's - What's the consensus?

    Thought that it might, but keep me in the loop anyway. Having owned multiple copies of the ELC A-1 (42 and 44) and GW A-1 (older domestic US capeskin, Italian capeskin and soon the current domestic US capeskin), I'll be very interested to see how it compares.

    Bill Kelso A-2's - What's the consensus?

    Hi Andy Are you still planning an A-1? If so, I'd like to compare it with my experience of ELC and GW if the offer extends. Cheers Ian

    Bought a Lost Worlds A2, is this wrinkling normal?

    The variation in grain/patina is similar to a vintage Perry Sportswear 42-16175-P A-2 that I once owned. The horsehide was quite mismatched.

    BK A-2. *w/pictures

    It has been said that limited numbers were issued for a limited period (ca. 6 months or so) to USN and USAAF for evaluation but were withdrawn when the decision was taken to pursue different jacket options for each service. I have one (large 44 in goatskin), which in common with the few that...

    Another day, another Bill Kelso Dubow 1755

    Ditto. For future reference you need another .5-1" on the sleeves, but the rest fits Steve well.
