    Camera Flash and Leather Jackets

    Hey guys, do you think that in the long run, if too often photographied a leather jacket with flash, can ruin it, lead to an alteration of the color, or otherwise affect the aesthetic aspect of the jacket? clearly we all know the prohibitions that there are in museums with regard to photos, in...

    Cooper blue label G-1 fit question

    I've come across a Cooper G-1 blue label jacket, size 46R, online but cannot get the seller to measure it. It's at a very low price, and I've long wanted a good G-1, but I have no idea how this would fit, nor do I know its vintage. I know that G-1s, A-2s, etc. are all over the map when it...

    Weintraub Bros. L2-A

    Hi, everyone. After researching these on the Lounge, I took a chance on this jacket on eBay and it turned out to be too big for me. I was pretty disappointed, but it’s your gain! Weintraub Bros. L2-A flight jacket size Large. Made in USA. I would say it’s closer to an Airforce Blue than a dark...

    New Aero Leather August

    I think I mentioned before that I had an Aero A1 in Seal Vicenza being altered currently. I decided that since I already had a perfect A2 in Seal Vicenza and a Rockafella in the works in Blackened Brown for me, I don’t really need the A1. Instead I told Aero they could keep the A1 and I picked...

    Russet Horsehide US Authentic A-2, 42R

    After some hesitation, I’ve decided to move along this US Authentic A-2. For a long time this jacket was a favorite of mine and a regular wearer - but of late I’ve been favoring wearing different non-A2 styles, so it just sits in a closet and should have a new home. Here are the Details…...
