    What sort of flight jacket weather are you having these days..?

    It's so warm here that I am working outside just wearing a T shirt and jeans. [S. England] John

    Swedish Tanker Jackets

    I have just bought one from ebay. It's so similar to the one I already have that I have decided not to keep it. It's marked size 50, but because of the loose design it will fit a US size 44 easily. If anyone is interested here is a link. It goes on ebay tonight...

    I think they have gone global. Were they always black goatskin ? I will soon have a brown version. John

    Swedish Tanker Jackets

    I'll soon have two. I have just won a brown one. They come up occasionally on ebay. I sounds like our Scandinavian friends would be the best source though. Can you still find them in Denmark ? John

    Swedish Tanker Jackets

    Well it is fairly complicated. There are 9 buttons, 3 hooks, two toggles a neck latch/slider thing and the waist tensioners. Lets say it's not the thing to put on after coffee in Starbucks. Once on it is very warm and comfortable. I hope Aero will copy these. John

    Swedish Tanker Jackets

    Supposedly from the second world war but more likely from the 1950's these are very intricate and complicated designs. I first saw one on ebay about a year ago, but was outbid. Shame as the jacket was mint. Then one suddenly appeared with an affordable BIN from a UK seller. These jackets run...

    IRVIN NUTS?...the ULTIMATE thread for those who love 'em!

    I am amazed that a jacket can last so long and see such use. This makes me wonder if today's repro jackets will have the same lifespan. Lost worlds certainly make very heavy duty shearlings but I wonder if these will crack along natural fold lines after 20 years or so ? John

    I am selling my new unworn Beacon Anj4 by Real Mc Coys. One of the last ones made under this label, they are now sold by The Few for $1800. Asking price for this totally mint true size 44 is £400 plus post. John

    F.S. Lost Worlds B3 Size 44/46

    This is not one of the current lighter weight and cheaper jackets but an even heavier duty than their previous standard offering. I paid £500 plus post for this jacket. http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a269/johnlever/2007_01250075.jpg...

    F.S. Lost Worlds B3 Size 44/46

    I recently bought this totally as new jacket labelled as a 44 but with a size 46 fit. Lost Worlds can no longer source this very heavy shearling and now offer a lighter weight cheaper alternative. I need to sell/trade the to fund purchase of the correct size LW probably a 42. John

    I just bought a Kanal jacket from Noble House. They are the type of jacket you might buy as your first jacket. Very reasonably priced but not for the connoisseur of good repro's or originals. I sent mine back for a refund. John

    Buzz Rickson inquiry..

    I have just bought an A1 and a B2. Both are truly beautiful jackets. The A1 is veg. dyed aniline Bronco h/h with amazing grain. It has scars and wrinkles that give it loads of character. Attention to details means buffalo horn buttons and black anodised brass snaps. The B2 is again veg...
