LUFTWAFFE jackets - Eagles who Dare to Wear..!
final noTe is souR the denouement of the luftwaffe jacket question is that the noble house (on ebay), x-jeans.de on the net, luftwaffe jacket arrived, and was at best mediocre in quality and build...certainly, in my opinion, not worth the close to $400 it cost... from my experience so far, i'd...- johnnyjohnny

Yet another A2 size question
uswings sizing vs cooper first off, if you dare get a uswings i'd recommend getting the uswings milspec rather than the updated a-2, since milspec size is not the full cut stadium coat style you don't seem to want...and the cooper you have would have a milspec sizing...still, even uswings...- johnnyjohnny

LUFTWAFFE jackets - Eagles who Dare to Wear..!
WhiTe doesn't make Right... guess even if they wore white jackets, the luftwaffe was still the bad guy air force ...maybe that's why those motorcycle jacket-style luftwaffe jackets are the ones that became so iconic...very bad boy looking, close to what brando and the gang were wearing in 'the...- johnnyjohnny

replacing an A-2 Liner...can it really be doNe?
Re ReLining.......yiKes! thank all of you for the info...at the best it sounds like i'd end up paying at least as much as a used class act a-2 would cost me itself (around $200 the best quote i've heard) and you'd still not be able to have it look like it hadn't had a liner replaced, though the...- johnnyjohnny

replacing an A-2 Liner...can it really be doNe?
question about replacing a liner on a good a-2 jacket...found one i wish to buy, but the liner is worn through in a few spots, not just torn, so i wanted to know if a good leather jacket facility can replace an a-2 liner with the proper material, and do it so it looks as if manufactured with the...- johnnyjohnny

Cooper Milspec A2 (AAF wannabe)
Valine SoLution wow, with a name like valine ulmer, it's unlikely this jacket belonged to anyone other than this rather 'fascinating' character...what he thought allegedly walking into a bank with eXplosives (or faux explosives)strapped to his chest was a solution to is anyone's guess...but you...- johnnyjohnny

a-2 vs g-1 jacket sizes in uswings milspec
recently had some sizing problems with uswings signature milspec A-2 when i ordered it the same size as my uswings signature milspec G-1...the A-2 was a size too big, so finally i became smart enough to call uswings and get their inch dimensions on both coats...it seems since the G-1 is a warmer...- johnnyjohnny
