    My ideal A-2...is it really too much to ask?

    I would like to make a SAT, but I have no real reference to work from, it would be very very difficult to make a true copy without an original sitting right there in front of me. Not to mention getting the correct materials, etc. Fortunately John is around, if anyone can possibly do it he can...

    Finally got around to making an A-2

    Kind of funny, but after a couple years of jacket making, this is the first full-fledged A-2 I have made. It's a customer jacket, essentially a 48 short. Dark brown goat, Conmar zipper, cotton lining, etc. It's based mainly on the Doniger pattern (sewn-in and rotated sleeves, shoulder seam under...

    ANJ4 sizing compared to B3 and Irvin jackets...

    Interesting John- I had the same reaction to the Eastman: Wow! It really stands out from the other jackets in fit and materials, but maybe that's just the lighting... Cheers Mark

    Catalog Suit Scans 35-42

    interesting how the looks seem to have softened and "relaxed" a bit by '43- not as severe in the tailoring and that vertical stabilizer on the shoulder seam in '36 is gone. REALLY like the sportswear from the '40's- great stuff, thanks for posting! Cheers Mark

    New Pattern A-1 44-46

    Thanks all- the front is measured from the top of the body to the bottom of the waistknit, basically just the zipper length, if it had one. The collar height is not included in the measurement. I'm 6' and wear a 16.5 x 35 shirt and it fits me very well with a flannel shirt on underneath- been...

    Slim Fitting B3 Bomber Jacket?

    I think if you search the list you will find it- there is a big thread about B-3's somewhere. The WPG one has thinner fleece than a true B-3, it's a good "looks right from 10 feet" jacket. He also makes an Irvin you might want to look at. cheers Mark

    Slim Fitting B3 Bomber Jacket?

    This is a better deal for a reasonable B-3 replica: http://whatpriceglory.com/usflight.htm The jackets in your pics are just modern versions of the originals, not exact replicas. You can find something very close to that for cheap on e-bay or similar. Cheers Mark

    Show Us Your OVERCOATS

    Had this for a while, and held on to it. It's rare that I find vintage in my size (46), particualrily something like this. I'm thinking late '30's to late 40's? It's one of those things that realistically I probably will never wear, but Damn it's cool...:) Would this be something that was...

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

    A-1 with USN style pockets I'm going to stop making individual posts for my stuff, this thread needs new life anyway. This is a 46 A-1 (style) based on the Doniger pattern that I made for a customer. He wants the higher USN style pockets and 25" sleeves, first time I have done that. I think it...
