    Avi Leather G-1 or M-422a?

    Just dropped an order for both, the G1 and the M422. :cool:

    Best option for a budget repro Hartmann jacket?

    They'll gladly take customizing wishes, though. I had them make me a combination of both their '42' and '43' models in sz 40, and shortened. I normally wear a 44-46. The prize is not what the OP is looking for, though. The ELC is a nice jacket, but it's alsoway too long.

    Best option for a budget repro Hartmann jacket?

    How close to the real deal do you want to get? There's a couple of "low budget" options, which aren't for the stitch-counters, though.

    My Star (GW)

    Damn, @ZuZu that's an awesome looking jacket! As I understand, it's a seal oversprayed in russet? Kinda makes me want a GW Star now :D

    Bill Kelso Roughwear 23380 Review

    That would be my preferred fit, too! Congrats on the jacket, dude! Where'd you get the officer's pants? They're SH, too!

    Modern German Flieger Jacke

    I once had a very similar jacket (possibly even this exact model), which I believe was a GST jacket in summer and winter variants. I wore it back in school about every day during winter time. Sadly it had shown it's age, so I gave it away. The winter model was a very comfy EDW jacket. Even...

    Modern German Flieger Jacke

    It is a great book. Make sure you check out the books on the Gina and the new F-104 book "Deutsche Starfighter - Die Geschichte in Farbe" by the same author.

    Modern German Flieger Jacke

    You might be right. It does certainly look exactly like on this picture and holding the civvie and issued "grey" model next to it, the colour-difference isn't all that much pronounced as it might seem. It's pretty close to the dark-hued "grey" jackets with just a more bluish hue. What speaks...

    Modern German Flieger Jacke

    @Wholenineyards I have been looking for pictures of the "Marineblau" jacket, but it seems like they'revery hard to come by. I might ask somebody who's close to MFG 3 whether those "Marine" jackets were ever actually issued - I seem to remember seeing them right around the time the Tornados were...

    Modern German Flieger Jacke

    I know linking to vendors isn't too popular around here, but sometimes I find myself browsing through the forums, aghast at the jackets somebody's got and kind of missing out on the information where to get the stuff, so I'll just post a link for those who are thinking about getting an original...

    Modern German Flieger Jacke

    @Wholenineyards thats an awesome jacket! Do you know if the colour has been changed some time during those early issues? I do know photos with the jacket being almost as dark bluish-grey as the later Marineflieger version of this jacket, not the brighter grey of the later Luftwaffe and...
