That's a heck of jacket. I'm beginning to think that if someone was looking for a 30's trim look that would be a better bet then an Aeromarine. If I was to do it I'd think about scalloped pockets and maybe buttons. With just a inch of added length. Make it in whatever is the lightest weight...
A-2s get a whole lot of love but I keep seeing slightly different version worn by the army from time to time in old pictures. The following picture is an example. Notice that its knit at the bottom of the body but has button cuffs on the arms. Also the pockets are larger with a great deal more...
Lost Worlds has a national racer in a 46 and 48 on sale for about a grand. It's going to be heavier then a Aero or Himel but is maybe worth a look.

Looks good! It's rocking with the guernsey. It's way cool.
How do you find the leather? The colors great but I'm wondering about weight and resiliency? Is it easily marked like a CXL?

It looks like a Jansolo Special 1930's Half Belt. Right down to the goatskin, button cuffs, and what looks to me like gabardine lining...
A couple of months ago I bought a pair of 5.5D sienna brown White's Farmer Ranchers with heel to toe lacing in Water Buffalo for my wife. As they're from White's ebay site I think they originated as a cancelled order from someone with amazingly small feet but with good taste. Perfect for my...
That's "whitesriver" and they're direct from the factury. You know how ebay works. Starts at $250 ends up $400+. Especially if you have feet that are common sized.
