    My NEW Aero Zip Sleeve Highwayman!!

    Actually Luftwaffe jackets were much closer fitting. You'll find the perceived extra room you have in that jacket as a plus, so to speak, as years pass. dean

    HELP! Mice damage to my Cooper A2 flight jacket.

    Get a new one seems the best answer, and just a brief note here, my suggestion about the leather repair kit was based on the premise that the affected area was very, very small and that such an application would be a minor aspect of the entire collar. I do understand that it there are better...
