    Yet Another US Authentic Jacket

    Next in line to get the business for a posting on this subject, but I think the jacket looks fine, and even further, I'd recommend a hot shower treatment for some fit improvement, i.e. shrinkage, which will bring it up a bit at the waist and sleeves. You may not want to do that, but it is an...

    I think BT is right, for the price I think the knits needed to be original. dean

    Great stuff from Carhartt. But, skaters and French young people? I think County Road Crew. dean

    Purists, Afficionados?

    Hey, I'm a guy who painted a cheap A-2 modern jacket, (I'm wearing it in my avatar) three piece back with slash handwarmers, with fabric craft paint just to see how it looked, so I guess I don't qualify as a serious collector. Actually I opted for cheaper A-2s in the first place because I...

    ALMOST MINT STAR SPORTSWEAR A2

    That jacket is so beautiful...it brings one to tears! Nothing beats an original, and this from a nylon jacket enthusiast. dean

    Aero D-1 Redskin

    Really...just how blessed hot are those jackets for the wearer? Honestly, they look like something for the polar regions. Not bad looking, I mean, but just way too heavy to wear at sea level. dean

    USWINGS Jackets

    If I was going to buy any one of them, the Signature Limited Edition WWII Vintage Goatskin A-2 would be it. The features as listed appear faithful to the historical A-2. I wouldn't put much stock in that supply of WWII era leather stuff. dean

    Pictures of Broken-In Gibson & Barnes A-2

    I was trying to be cute with words referring to putting my jacket in the washing machine in HOT water and then zippering her up and letting the dryer tumble it dry at high heat setting, which I did four times. The goatskin shrank nicely. Some do not recommend doing this. I took the chance since...

    Pictures of Broken-In Gibson & Barnes A-2

    You look at Rumblefish in that back panel shot and say to yourself, my that looks roomy. My Mossi modern A-2 with side panels and gussets looked that way before I gave it the Sears Best treatment. The USAF should have contracted iwth G&B and maybe no blasted gussets and sidepanels would have...
