Just wondering from over the pond UK, where would any NOS examples of any contract really first ever turn up for sale in the US and how do they come to light over the years? Examples like this for one would never make it over here and owning a jacket from the film that started if for me Toko Ri...

Totally agree with you on the G1 in every way and your A2 comments especially about the shoulders, they fit more like a suit does. I bet the average young men back then in WW2 had a slim build and lean and fit from training. G1’s suit me better anyway:)

Just wondering has BK ever posted any comments here on VLJ? Surely they are aware of this bad press as you don’t run a business with lack of communication like this.

Hi Jan, just noticed your post thanks. With regards to potentially fixing this issue with pliers does this point to the zipper being deformed at the bottom and needs carefully bending back?

Fore give my obscured face, my recent M422a from BK apparently it was my fault for choosing a vintage mouton collar. And anyone seen a collar sit like this? Not happy at all.

I got my Cable A2 48R 2 days ago, very snug which was surprisingly after size exchanged and then this. Got my M422a recently with issues but will have to let them respond but no issue’s should happen with a new jacket at those prices.

$600 I recall and totally agree with your point, only heard of AVI afterwards and then acquired which are better in every way. I dropped the jacket hobby for quite a while and was surprised how many new ‘repro’ makers there are now.

Covid in 2019 robbed me of a visit to New York and a visit to The Cockpit store, intended to buy something that looked and fitted right. Due to my shoulders & back ‘not obese’ the G1 by swing back is a better choice for me and when my mate was there last year, to save on postage and import duty...

All you lucky people with the GW’s they all look like an original. I know the delivery is 12 months plus, but does anyone know how long JC takes to actually construct (sewing machine bit) an A2 for example once he has all the specific materials for a certain design? Also is the long delivery...

You must open a shop of sorts, I will come to visit :)

I also got a reply on the 14th Novembe.

Will be no help to you slimmer guys, but FWIW on a 48.

I have one hopefully landing before Xmas, will be in touch at some point after it does.
