Hi escorpion! Nice to see a fellow swede on this very cool forum! I live in Stockholm as well. Have a good one. Kind regards Mike

Hi guys. I must say that I am, as always, in total awe of the level of knowledge that you guys have! I mean, is there anyone in this world who knows as much about WW2 leather jacket as you gentlemen? I think not! :D Have a great weekend, guys! Kind regards Mike

Hi Mikey. Yes, that´s the one alright. Awsome jacket! Thanks for responding! Kind regards Mike

Hi all. I´ve always thought that the RAF flying jacket was only issued to RAF personal. But this morning I saw a documentary about WW2 and the battle at Caen, in ´43 I think it was. There were some short glimpses of general Montgomery wearing a beautiful sheepskin jacket. Could someone clear...

Hi all. One of the pictures, the one where you see the pocket, looks to be from another jacket. Why is that? Kind regards Mike

Thanks, you guys! So, does that mean that an issued jacket sells for a higher price? (depending on the condition, of course!) I´ve also noticed that not all sellers on Ebay use the term "issued/non- issued". Wouldn´t that be a sales- argument? Kind regards Mike

Hi guys. When it says that a jacket is "issued", what does that mean? Is that a good thing that affects the price? Since I´m swedish, there are still a lot of stuff about vintage jacket "language" that I don´t get! :oops: Kind regards Mike

Thx guys. As always you came up with ouick, insightful answers! :) Kind regards Mike

Thanks, deeb! I´ll try to post some pictures of one of the jackets( I just need a camera), which is a swedish military motorcycle- ordnance jacket. Extremely hard to find original ones. There has been modern duplicates made, but thats not the real thing! Kind regards Mike

Hi guys. I´ve got what probably seems like a stupid question: what makes a leather jacket vintage? How old must it be? Does it have to do with the shape of the leather, or what? I have a couple of leather jackets made in the 50´s, one of them very rare. Vintage? Kind regards Mike

Thanks Cobblers. It´s worth checking out! Kind regards Mike

Thanks deeb7! That was a very helpful and detailed map. Not even me, with my non- existing sense of direction, could miss that one! :D You guys are so helpful. I really like this forum! One of these days I will! get me a beautiful B3! Kindest regards Mike

Thanks guys! Last time I was in London, some four years ago, I went to Camden, but couldn´t find any good vintage leather shops. Maybe I was looking in the wrong places! :? Kind regards Mike

Thanks for all the helpful comments! Now i realy have something to work with :D ! Kindest regards Mike

Hi guys! A very big thank you! I was afraid you´d say something like that, though! :( I looked at some Aero-jackets, but they are kind of expensive! Maybe Ebay is the only way to go! Big thanks! Kind regards Mike
