    Thoughts on Schott quality?

    My first leather jacket purchase was a Schott A-2, back in the late 70's. It was extremely well made, and the leather was heavy and thick. It would have made a great biker jacket, as that thick leather would provide great protection. The USWings G-1 that I own was made by Schott. It is one of...

    What Price Glory replica A-2 review

    That looks very nice, based on your photos. At that price, a real bargain for sure. The fit looks pretty good also. A perfect candidate for patching / painting. Wear it in good health!

    What car to go with your flight jackets?

    This... Full disclosure, we are building this, and it is almost done. Or, a '94 Rag top. The last 'Vette that was built for performance, and not by a committee.

    B-3's / B-10's on Ebay?

    One of those B-10's is on my short list... So Bob Dong is a reproduction jacket manufacturer, and not just another copy-cat. This is good to know.

    B-3's / B-10's on Ebay?

    Yes, for sure. I have been deceived by the seller twice when buying on Ebay, but never had any issues when buying jackets there.

    B-3's / B-10's on Ebay?

    In almost every example, they state "New With Tags", or "New Without Tags". The country of origin for several of these is China, and Pakistan. In addition, several of these retailers state they will "custom make to order in your size", if their sizes do not work. My good friend paid $$$ for a...

    B-3's / B-10's on Ebay?

    Can't help but notice the large number of these jackets for sale on Ebay. At crazy prices. Ranging from under $100 to around $200. They all look quite nice, and appear to be well made. There was a very positive review of one of the B-10's on this forum, purchased from Ebay. Are these jackets...
