    MA-1 Flight jacket

    That seems to be the issue with all G&B flight jackets that they run big no matter which type of jacket you order. I am a relative newcomer to nylon flight jackets and having never owned one of any type before November last year so that's when the learning curve began as the sizing is unique...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    I must have been through most of my jackets this Christmas as the UK weather has been it's usual mild conditions so there has been no consistancy, up side at least I got to wear both intermediate and winter flight jackets. Looks to be another New Year 2016/2017 wash out in my part of the UK :(

    Greetings and my new (old) G-1

    wasn't the G1 mouton collar installed to prevent neck chaffing from the constant looking around and checking you six for bandits unlike the A2, wear a scarf was needed to be worn against the leather collar.

    MA-1 Flight jacket

    Here's a couple of photos of a Weintraub L-2A repro in new condition (with Tags), not sure when it was manufactered so maybe NOS as I can't seem to see it being produced any more when searching the net but could be wrong. It's a pretty decent repro, well made with good stitching and solid...
