Good Wear Leather Italian Capeskin A-1 (size 46)
Hi Jeff I've posted similar images of the ELC capeskin A-1 in 42 that I sold recently. I have previously owned the same jacket in a 44. The comparison of the same sized jackets: both jackets weigh the same. The ELC was slightly more blousy in the waist/small of back (needed HWT to tighten it)...- Dr H

Good Wear Leather Italian Capeskin A-1 (size 46)
Will take some - JC's sizing is 'wartime' so this fits as a modern 44. It's trim and form fitting without being in any way tight. The body and shoulders fit me better than my previous ELC A-1 44. The sleeves are tapered with narrow sleeve ends. Length is great - slightly longer than an A-2 and...- Dr H

Aero Jacket Question (Also, are there quality jackets under 300 dollars?)
Good Wear is the top maker for my money. Bespoke, longer wait times, unsurpassed for quality IMO. I've owned two, a Doniger A-2 and currently an A-1 and the fit, attention to detail, and quality of components makes it worth every penny/cent...- Dr H

Dear All I've just taken charge of a GW A-1 in a military 46 (modern 44). Grateful thanks to John Lever for the heads up (I owe you a pint) and to Steve Salob for the opportunity to buy.

Goodwear cowhide
Hello Edward I was referring to a Good Wear Perry in steerhide (I checked with John to confirm that it was steer). II've owned multiple examples of original Perrys - the goat is very distinctive and the horsehide heavy - more so than I would associate with steerhide.- Dr H

Goodwear cowhide
Yes, I recall passing on an early example of a Perry A-2 from JC in this material on Ebay. There weren't many steerhide A-2s though in my recollection.- Dr H

Berets, Anyone?
I bought my first beret as a boy on a school visit to Cherbourg in the 70s. It's a Royal Basque in dense navy wool felt. It's worn now and a bit small so I recently bought a 'Splendid' beret with it's original box on EBay. It dates from the 50s and is a worthy replacement. It gets daily wear... -

A-1 Jacket / A1 Flying Jacket - The ultimate Golden Era flying accessory!
Mine arrives next week - bought from a VLJF member who's a real A-1 buff. It's shown in the A-1 thread there if you have access? It's a one-off in Italian capeskin, based on the original in Suit Up with triple stitched seams, that already looks vintage. Can't wait, the only jacket I was willing...- Dr H
