Haven't checked the snaps, but my 1401's liner where it meets the collar stand is looking like an original.

Terrific looking jacket but what the hell are those shoes man!

With a jacket that lovely, let's see some nice leather US service shoes or roughouts, or even just some brown leather boots. Turquoise checkerboard slip-ons aren't the right match for that exceedingly nice jacket.

That's one way to describe it.

Seriously nice jacket and the perfect fit.

The shoe pairing does need drastic work though

I don't think I'm a footwear snob Alan but wearing a 1,000 quid jacket with Miami Vice coloured and inspired brothel-creepers is a bridge too far for me.

Call this old duck old fashioned but I'm old school when it comes to footwear and especially with a WWII flight jacket, original or repro.

Nice D1!!!

...............its all relative!

............if this photo was posted on a footwear fashion forum, members would be saying, "cool shoes, but what's with the Grandpa jacket?"
