Please help me to identify this recent purchase - £60 from a military dealer at the Lincoln Antiques Fair yesterday. It has a lot in common with shearling flight jackets in terms of its construction but it doesn't have any military labels - only has the CC 1941 Utility Mark and a manufacturer's...
Not listed as 'Aero' so possibly a hard one for non- loungers to find -

From the same seller as the flight gloves.

Nothing wrong with collecting so long as it's not obsessional and doesn't take over your life and home. I'm sure the Psychologist Loungers will agree it's just normal hunting or foraging behaviour brought up to date. For millions of years as a species our job was to hunt for food and the other...
Lovely- reminds me of a Paisley cravatte I bought from Tootal in Rotherham in the 60's - come to think of it my mum throws nothing away - it might still be in my old wardrobe?
Has interesting features - leather mandarin collar and elbow patches

If you type 'new' into the search window on the Aero site some interesting names/jackets come up but the links dont work yet? Including - Luftwaffe, Indiana hmmm.
