A few more photo`s of Amelia Earharts flight jacket. I ordered one from Jay at Headwind in September so it can`t be too long before I receive it. Looking forward to comparing the capeskin with my horsehide A2. I will post a review with some photos when I get it.

London Cabbie, Looks great on you, you were lucky not having too long a wait to get your jacket compared to some.
