    G1 jacket

    No way that G-1 is from the 50s. I agree with the other fellow members that already pointed out that this G-1 is probably from the 70s. In that case the price would be totally absurd. The label could tell precisely from what era it is.

    I knew that he couldn’t resist ;) He’s probably more excited than we are! He is really passionate about his job!

    As @B-Man2 said, he’s a moderator here and from time to time he takes a look here on the forum. There’s a chance that he already saw your post!

    My last A-2 (hopefully) - Good Wear

    Absolutely jaw dropping! JC is the man even with B-3s. I hope that the GW B-3 I ordered will be as beautiful as yours ;) Enjoy that masterpiece!

    Cockpit USA’s B15 jacket review

    Hello Peter, welcome to VLJ! I hope you’ll like this forum and decide to stay with us for a bit. If you’re interested, maybe you could learn a thing or two about jackets (especially the military ones) hanging around here. The Cockpit B-15 mentioned in this thread, was a fine jacket but, in the...

    Gizemo N-1 Olive Deck Jacket

    Well, it could be and it would also make sense. Maybe it’s written in the various texts in the pictures but, as I don’t speak Chinese, I really don’t know!

    Gizemo N-1 Olive Deck Jacket

    The alpaca lining on Gizemo’s B-10 is also a blend, here’s a screen of one of their item description pictures. I was about to pull the trigger and this kept me from buying one. If the materials are basically the same, I’d rather take the Bronson one.

    1940s German Motorcycle Jacket

    Does it have any labels? Have you tried to check the lining and inside the pockets? Sometimes are a bit hidden…

    Flyers Jacket Type G-1 I. Spiewak & Sons

    If you want to know if the collar is artificial mouton, you can try to cut a little bit of fur and burn it with a lighter or something. If it smells like burnt hairs is real. Otherwise, it will smell like plastic. About the price: we don’t do jackets evaluations. If you want to know how much is...

    Bill Kelso. Whats happening?

    God, that’s some awful customer service from Kelso. It makes me feel a bit nervous as I ordered a jacket from them… 10 months ago!

    What jacket(s) are you wearing at the moment?

    Warmer but a bit chilly in the morning here, FiveStar RW A-2 and Buzz C-2 sweater is the perfect combo for me these days!

    5 * B3's Question

    Hi John, As CBI already mentioned, they ran out of sheepskin for these jackets. Two of the B-3s that they currently offer, the HLB and the two tone Aero, are based on originals. All the others are a reinterpretation of the B-3 by Shawn and his team, they don’t reproduce any actual contact...

    Could be… But, according to Full Gear, only Aero Leather made B-7 and A-6 pants

    Very unusual Perry B3

    Incredibile, I’ve never seen a B-3 like that too! Seems like a mixed batch of regular seal brown sheepskin and the white skins used in the 1937 (and prior) contracts. But as far as I know, Perry Sportswear wasn’t awarded a contract until 1941.
