You mean the repro of Star sportswear contract or this one? http://www.sportys.com/PilotShop/product/9087
The one show in that link is a current issue one, they are manufactured by Cockpit since late 1980/1990? until now. According to what I've heard, the leather isn't great either, not recommend.
Very true, but I still ordered one from LW. It is very good value when they on sale. And the one I orderd is a second generation one, which produced in 1998 according to Stuart, and I think it is even more inaccurate.
LW's HH are slight heavier, I think it is 3.5 or 4 ounces. And this is the reason many ppl think LW's repro isn't accurate. I believe BK uses 3 ounces.
I don't think Alpha make any of their jacket in USA now, I've seen one Made in China MA-1, it is very nice. All the Made in USA jackets are deadstck I think. One more thing, dont go for their new M-65, the quality still good, but with very stupid design.
Where did you get the tank jacket? Is it a repro or original? I am looking for one as well, but the only one I can find is BUZZ. I also found some cheap repro but dont really trust the quality...
I did ask him about the shoulder width before I found that claim on their website, and...he replied me with chest width and jacket length....nothing else happened.
Their website is a disaster... for measurements, just email them and ask for sizing, they will give you a measurements, may not accurate, but still helpful.
When I did my research about the A2 jacket, I learned that LW's is not accurate. But, when I saw the sale on their website, my BK and Aero dilemma solved. I ordered one A2 from them. I mean, £255 for a LW A2 jacket? why not. I will let you know how it is when I receive it.
Lost worlds do make nice jacket,but deal with Stuart is not that easy:D, I guess that is what you mean. Also, TBH, Lost worlds' repro isnt that accurate any way.
Good to know that. But there is one question, is that mean you are going to put that funny pocket on Bronco for short guy? Cause I am about 5'5", and I really don't want that kind of jacket.:(
