I've been wearing this jacket since it arrived, just feels like an old friend. The tightness in the mid is a reminder to go no further and to back off. It also acts as a back support of sorts! John Chapman is pictured in the Pancho Barnes. You should have kept this John. The Jacket looks to be made for you, by you. The pictures of Poncho Barnes are taken from a google search.
This first Video is the Jacket alone. I do give some back story on the Jacket. John saw the Jacket in a thread here and wrote me. Here are his comments on the Jacket:
,,, and that's a copy I made back in 2010 of a jacket that Pancho Barnes used to wear. A customer of mine who is a pilot,,,,,,,,,,,,,,asked if I'd make as close a copy as I could from vintage photos.
I've only made one, so it's a one-off that I don't plan in making any more of, but it was fun!
