Pop's Leather

[kevinblack]

Ray,

Woah..... One red flag is enough, you have several. Thanks for the heads up and I will take your advice (all of it). I have several e-mails in with G&B aka Flightsuits. I am hoping to be in San Diego in December (doing the Disneyland etc thing) and I understand El Cajoun is within 8km so plan on visiting their showroom. I specifically asked if they would have a 46/48 Civil A-2 in seal on display assumi8ng one or the other actually fits me. If so I will probably buy off the rack, if not they can make me a Jacket, but at least I get to see their gear first hand.

I know what buying over the net is like, an Alpha CWU-45P sells here for AUD$270 plus postage. Over the net it's US$84 plus postage, but I got the size wrong so had to order another. Luckily I on-sold the original for what I paid for it. The round trip postage was more than the jacket if I had to send it back - hoping to avoid that dilemma this time.

Again, thanks for the heads up.

Regards,
Kevin

i have a Pops, with a fantastic painting on the back and a chit sewn in the lining, that i use for a beater...its a nice inexpensive jacket, and i was a rookie w/jackets at the time so detail was something i hadn't been familiar with...here is a photo of the back for starters:

Pops leather flight jacket

I purchased a used one,and I have to say the leather is fairly heavy Not a bad jacket at all but is not like a lost worlds or Aero leather but if you want a good starter jacket it's not bad. I may let this one go because it's too tight on me. It does have a peice back and I dont think it was used much because it does'nt have any pilling on the knit sleeves or waist band. To answer the question It's not a bad jacket to wear on a daily basis. You won't feel bad if is gets used.
