Just curious, as I'm thinking about a G-1 type... How would you compare the Goatskin of the Aero to that of the US Authentic?

The Aero Goatskin is ticker than the US Authentic's one. Better quality, color, texture and accuracy. It needs more breaking period but is far better...

I think the brown SB G-1 takes the cake followed by the Aero/USA (tied). The SB at the bottom looks like it is cut very roomily compared to the others. Could be the horse. The US-A looks closest to a non repro IMO. Nice jackets.

Nice collection!

I'd have to agree that the USA looks most like an issue jacket. One feature that not every repro has that the USA seems to and I think makes for a sharper cut is the tapered sleeves. It generally seems to make the jacket less blousy looking.

Great lineup. :)

If it's purely cosmetic, I think the US Authentic looks the best, slim and tight. The Aero is still like a suit jacket with pads on the shoulder, I wonder how it will look after breaking-in.
