Here's an A-2 shell of what is unmistakably a Rough Wear. I literally bought this off the back of a Punk Rocker in 1987 on 2nd Street in Seattle, near the Crocodile Cafe (where Kurt Cobain used to play before he was famous with Nirvana). I have always planned on having it restored, but the...
Here's the another of the jackets I am culling from the herd. I have had this G-1 over 20 years and unfortunately have outgrown it in that time. I have worn it only a handful of times since I bought it.
As I remember, Imperial had two contracts. The jacket is steerhide and while I have had...

I have acquired a number of jackets as of late and seriously need to cull. Some I have had for more than 20 years, some I purchased very recently. As a start I will be listing five starting with this Good Wear 1938 Acme (Aero) Combat...
Up for sale is a Good Wear United Sheeplined Leather A-2, Size 46 in good condition. I do not know why, but the size tag in the collar has been cut out, but the pocket tag still remains.
Color is dull russet and has a vintage talon zipper. Shows some wear on the folded edges etc but that gives...
Nice jacket and I do like the LW Dubow (I have owned 4 or 5 and still have 2), but $800 on the resale market is way high, particularly for the goat. GLWS.
Thanks for the compliment--it is a great jacket. I'll see what I can do to get some fit photos.
The jacket is steerhide. Langlitz doesn't use horsehide and have just recently started to offer goat.
One Langlitz Columbia Jacket--Cossack Collar. Approximate size 44-46, as you know Langlitz custom makes each jacket to the customer--no sizing.
This jacket was made for Don Dauterman on January 31, 1984. I purchased it from him last September or October. It is about 1 1/2" long for me in the...
I would tend to agree. While I understand the "living history" part of it and the educational part of being able to talk and interact with the "spectators" or non-participants, there is something very odd about seeing an overweight, 65 year old private.
Isn't that the truth, and it brings up something I haven't thought about since probably the late 1970's. There was a full color mail order catalog back then filled with a mix of original and repro German WWII items--Unique Imports, if I recall? Anyway, I spent a good portion of my lawn mowing...
I wonder just how many jackets a two year waiting time is...or a three year wait? I have often wondered if the business model is sustainable given that there must be substantial time in R&D of new jackets (the cloth/nylon and the civillian line of jackets) and sourcing of materials and...
