    What Do You Guys Think about an A1 Type with a Leather Collar?

    If they're properly tailored, the larger outer buttons will be attached to smaller backing buttons on the button stand, which will make them much more sturdy in use and lessen the strain on the fabric.

    What Do You Guys Think about an A1 Type with a Leather Collar?

    Without the knit collar (and with so many buttons), it's not strictly an A-1, but it looks very smart as a '20s/'30s flying jacket (although personally I'm not that taken with the high pockets). The buttons should function well enough though: I've owned around 6 A-1 replicas (I currently have a...

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

    I've drooled over that jacket in Tatanaka brown jacket before - I'm not so taken with the pocket placement and the pocket flap profile, but I prefer the buttons in the waistband over the later snaps.

    For Sale - a Willis & Geiger M-422A tagged 38. This jacket is in beautiful, clean and well patinated condition (undamaged shell and knits). The collar appears to be mink and was presumably modified by the original owner - the work was undertaken well using the original stitch holes...

    how do they replace the lining of a leather jacket?

    I think that it's a question of making a 'shirt' (the lining) to size and then reattaching through the existing holes - by hand to avoid making new holes - unless they're very, very precise with the sewing machine. The cuffs are then reattached. Quite labour intensive...
