    Famous People in Flight Jackets

    Love the pics of Arnie rocking the B6 and B15 also, John Kerry's G1 looks liks an issue jacket, could it possibly be his own service jacket I wonder.

    MA-1 Flight jacket

    Well my 1961 Skyline MA-1 has arrived from the US and I must say, for a 56 year old issued jacket it's in really good condition with just a small rip in the left cuff which can be easily darned without too much trouble. The blackend Conmar zippers work really well both the main zip and on the...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    1961 Skyline MA-1 but was a little too cold for it, my Alpha N-2B would have been the better choice today I think.

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    Sci-Fi Almost Human (Karl Urban) - what a great show and fantastically well made, all thr traits of a movie in the production (plus the cost as well I guess). Such a shame Fox cancelled the show after just one season.

    Which is your favorite G-1?

    nice, more likely to be cowhide than goatskin, I have Pharr issue G1 and it's also a size 48" but fits like a 46" in the body but too long on the sleeves, it's well constructed but lacking in material quiality and it's made from cow.

    Which is your favorite G-1?

    I have a mint 1950's LW Foster where the mouton is just beautiful, so soft in a lovely auburn colour, no tight or curly and a totally different look & feel to my 1969 Martin Lane which is faded to a lovely golden colour which is slightly, curly look & feel to it. Also you can see the various...

    Which is your favorite G-1?

    I have to agree, with the current ELC prices for A2s & G1s I think anything new would be out of my price range. Most of my current G1 purchases have been originals at a fraction of the cost and make great daily wearers. The G1 that gets the most overall use is my 1971 Brill Bros D series size...

    Which is your favorite G-1?

    My favourite current manufacturer G1 is my Eastman 55J14, superb goatskin, excellent fit, very well constructed.

    soaking Shinki horsehide in water

    I gave my GW RW 27752 (shinki FQH) the HWT treatment as I wanted attempt to shrink the jacket size down a bit due to weight loss. Totally immersed the jacket in a hot water bath for about 5 mins, let the majority of the excess water drain out then pat dry on a think towel soak up any further...
