    1940's Aviator Jacket

    Here's some live shots- I apologise for the model, he's no George Clooney... I made the sleees longer as I assumed that this would be used as a motorcycle jacket sooner or later, also forgot to take my wallet, cell phone, keys, and misc out of the D pocket first.

    1940's Aviator Jacket

    This would be awesome in goat, but right now I only have access to dark seal brown stuff. I know the reason John and Dave and I only make men's jackets is because we are men- I have absolutely no idea how to make a womens jacket, they have curves and stuff that we don't have.... cheers Mark

    1940's Aviator Jacket

    Thanks- I really liked how the jacket is given a more formal look in the catalogs- the biker jacket as daily wear (and before the style was so strongly associated with the motorcycle) and an excellent alternative to the straight front halfbelt. I am going to take some pics of me wearing it, but...

    1940's Aviator Jacket

    I finally got around to trying my hand at one- I have been wanting to make one vere since I saw them in the 1942 catalog thread. This thing took forever but it was a lot of fun- I really like the unique D pocket and the scalloped back. More pics here: http://superiorjackets.com/?p=800...

    Long half belt- flield jacket style

    Thanks-this jacket took forever to make, but was worth it in the end. The owner is a fine gentleman from Wisconsin, we will probably not hear from him until after the playoffs... Cheers Mark

    Long half belt- flield jacket style

    This is a one-off I made for a forum member- A long half belt with field jacket style pockets (upper pockets are bellows type), bi-swing back, button cuffs, and 2 inside pockets. Pics are not the best though, have to work on that... More info and a bunch of pics here...

    is silence a valuable form of feedback?

    Just a quick thought to add- for many of us these jackets are EXPENSIVE in either dollar amount, or labor and time, and usually both. We are heavily invested emotionally and monetarily in these things, probably more than most of us should be (I know I am). I think it's important to remember that...

    Help! I scratched my new G&B goatskin A-2

    If you take something sharp it will scratch any hide- but you mentioned a hole? To cover those scratches up just rub a little matching (or close to it) shoe polish on the scratch. Nothing to worry about, it will happen to every jacket sooner or later- Cheers Mark

    US Auth B-6 Project

    I just can't leave anything alone... Here's another one... Here's what I did: Took the shoulders from 23" to 21" added the hourglass shape at the sides Replaced the zips w/ WW2 talons from a b-4 bag- attached the front zip properly (edges of the jacket cut,not folded). dyed the fleece...

    B-3 project

    I didn't think to take a before pic, but it looked like pretty much every other generic B-3 type jacket out there. It was pointed out over on the VLJ that I missed the cuff seams- there should be no tape and they overlap the arms, so I will have to fix that too- otherwise it will just bug me too...

    B-3 project

    Taking a sanity break from other jackets I decided to try fixing up an old pseudo B-3 that was passed down to me. It's essentially a sheepskin jacket based loosely on a B-3 but with hand warmer pockets, no horsehide, etc. Pretty nice jacket really, but I wanted to experiment with a few things...

    Horsehide A-2- Depot Re-Dye!

    That's the cool bit, this thing is going to wear like and original with the topcoat gradually wearing off to reveal the light brown underneath. Cheers Mark
