    Is it possible to track a package from Aero once it is accepted by customs in the US?

    Just to let you know I got my overseas package today with my jacket (very happy it is the ANJ-3A The Few model which I posted earlier on this forum). The tracking still states it is in customs. Go figure.[huh]

    Is it possible to track a package from Aero once it is accepted by customs in the US?

    This is very useful. I have a jacket in customs and it is 4 days. But then it arrived early last Sat morning. Do they work weekends? IF not then probably a couple more days in customs hold. Hopefully not a week.

    The Few Model ANJ-3A

    Steve, Great shot to compare with "The Few" jacket. They sure did a great job on copying the details to include the color on the fur collar. I have always liked that Monarch jacket either the ANJ-3A or the 55J14. It will be interesting to see the horsehide version of this went compared to...

    The Few Model ANJ-3A

    Got a great deal on it. Sold my original ANJ-3A which was in excellent, darn I say, almost mint condition as it just didn't fit right (too long). Measurements on this jacket and having bought a RMNZ A-2 from this gent before (and it fit perfectly) indicate this will be the perfect fit. Price...

    Original B-15C

    Just picked this up on ebay and got the jacket today. Got it for less than a reproduction Buzz Rickson B-15C. Overall in great shape and fits just like my Buzz B-15C Mod size 40. BR really got it right on the B-15C it is amazing the details they have captured when compared to an original. Enjoy.

    E model L-2B nylon jacket

    Just got this near mint E model L-2B from a great seller on ebay. He is selling his entire nylon collection which is awesome. This is from 1964. Main zipper is a rarely seen crown peg zipper. Never seen one quite like it. Enjoy.

    The Goodwear Kool-Aid

    Well said. I have Buzz, GW, RMNZ, and ELC jackets and like each for their own uniqueness. As long as a maker improves based on customer input I applaud them.:eusa_clap

    Nice tanker and a good size at that. Finding originals in that condition are hard to find.

    Pre-War Aero Pictures

    Steve, Very nice jacket and a rare bird at that. I just got a GW 16160 and comparing your pictures to the jacket I have I have to say John hit the mark again on this jacket. All in all we are both very lucky guys though I think you are a bit luckier with the original.:)

    Civilian A-2

    After the war some of the contract A2 makers made some civilian models. I have had both a Star and Doniger post war version. Were near identical to the wartime models. This may be one of those or as suggested a wartime private purchase.

    Eastman Monarch A-2 I dont get it!

    Interesting point. I just got an ELC A-1 and had to get a 44 which is none to big either. I take 42s across the board in all of their A2s. Looked at a Luftwaffe 44 on ebay the other week and based on the measurements it would have fit.

    A-1 jacket in art history, 1943

    Agree with AF on the jacket. My vote is for Abe Lincoln. Still a great painting and the title says it all.

    Eastman A2 Contract number ?

    Steve is correct on ELCs house versions (which are a melding of a couple of different contracts) he used a contract number that did not exist. I believe he probably did this as to not confuse people with a specific original contract. ELC does of course make A2 original contracts, Roughwear...

    Why is horsehide better than steerhide?

    Wow tough question. I have had both and goatskin as well. Looking at the jackets it is hard if not impossible to tell the difference. I believe most prefer HH in A2s because most original A2s were made of HH. Of course I have three originals made of goatskin. In fact, some whole contracts...
