I more on these black-collar-ones. Somehow, I like them, really. Like this, left above:

These are two great threads on the French made Luftwaffe jackets. We decided after a lot of research, they were French Bicycle jackets, not motorcycle! http://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/a-short-guide-to-luftwaffe-flight-jackets.58845/ http://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/luftwaffe-jackets-eagles-who-dare-to-wear.4938/

a bit back to famous people :)
there is new french movie that will be out next week here, with Jean Dujardin, who I think became famous in the US with the movie "the artist".
I was surprised when I saw the poster with him wearing an A-2, and not a modern re-issue.
wondering if he got it while he was in the US during promotion of the artist.

Very cool indeed! But the leather looks quite soft to me?

FYI, something in motion for you fellows.

He wears the A-2 well & looks to be very comfortable .

^ good find, I never noticed that one

Looks like Rocky wore a civilian Irvin jacket in Rocky IV. Pockets, but it looks a nice jacket without any bling. See link below.

I remember when this movie came out thinking that he was wearing the Avirex version of the Irvin. Avirex/Cockpit was really ramping up at the time, expanding out of NYC to LA and overseas, and it had a few years where it was the "in" look.
