LufTWHAT jacket???
i saw uswings jacket since i'm on their mailing list. thing with them is, a few things they do good. and a bunch they do inauthentically and poorly.
i won't rehash the rest of their stuff, though i'm a big fan of their milspec a-2 and g-1 when they can send out one that doesn't have defects...however, this 'ww2 german flight jacket' that they don't even have the guts to call a luftwaffe jacket is about as much a luftwaffe (or ww2 german flight) jacket as an edsel is a car...looking at the pics you can see it's just not quite right
i'm sure the folks at uswings know about the jacket market, and knew luftwaffe jackets command high prices...their foray into a horsehide a-2 at a hefty price reveals their watering mouth at breaking into this 'premium' market...but calling their jackets premium is like putting a gourmet label on a can of campbell's soup...nothing wrong with campbell's soup...but it is what it is
pretending they could even get $895 for this jacket, and they were reducing it to $595, shows they are in the same LaLa world as the u.s. car companies have been in during the late 70s, 80s, 90s and early 2000s...drinking their own 'koolaid' (to use a horribly overused phrase that i regret even using)
uswings is superb for what they are...purveyors of real deal, economy milspec jackets made to military standards, made inexpensively and some of the times aptly, and priced properly...this in fact is what the a-2 and g-1 were always supposed to be, going back to ww2...so you can't fault them...except for customer service issues i won't rehash here
they may get a few suckers on this jacket, but they're pedaling false premium jackets, and for the most part the only people who buy premium jackets are those who are educated enough to spot a pig with lipstick (to use another hackneyed phrase since the election)...which this monstrosity is
as for charlie and his pix, that is quite a fine jacket...looks great on you too...i think i hear your Messerschmitt Me 262 running
