the 174sm is the 184sm love the discussion as i started out an 'authentic' snob, meaning i would only get authentic milspec a-2s or g-1s...however, going through the jackets on ebay i started falling in love with the schott 174sm...i just couldn't go for the 2-piece back when i saw that the...

Re: The AN-J-3/g-2 sorry i don't have the reference with me now, but it was history on the anj3/g-2...the word from it was that the only 'issued' anj3/g-2 were prototypes that were given to service personnel, and not many of them...before it could become an official issue it was replaced by...

ReLining... i had a girlfriend reLined once by a taylor, but it didn't work out too well... but back on topic, it's nice to know that there are options, and not wholly expensive ones as well...

hi...decided not to do the relining on my old, rather rare perfecto, as it was a bit short and i didn't want to do any custom stuff with the leather...but i had decided that the only place i would trust for a relining, especially if you decide to try and replicate a lining, would be...

ooooooooooooPs! for a guy who's been as nice to me as he has, i shouldn't have gotten his name wrong...Mark Moye...thanks!

iT's tOO BiGGGGGG! yes, alas, i knew that going in...i just saw it on ebay, always wanted the vanson mercury...kinda like that woman in a bar you see...not quite right, but you've had too many jack and cokes...and... but i don't think it turned out all that bad...i am on a bodybuilding...

you're scaring me man : 0 i guess you've tried it and seen things go awRy? thanks for the warNing...i just may heed it

but whatttaBouT... thanks deeb...but i must ask then, how do you feel about a custom sized jacket... i know if i had ordered this jacket from vanson they will allow only so much customization, i think from their sizing charts they would have knocked off at least 2" around the waist... is...

just like to get the opinions of some astute VintageLeatherJacket-O-phiLes... i bought a size 50 (stock size) vanson mercury jacket on ebay...surprisingly the large size is almost a perfect fit chest/shoulders at 26 1/2"" armpit to armpit, but the waist is too big at 46" all around...this...

waiting for the AERO highwayman thanks rich, i appreciate it much... i have no concept now of what the aero sizing is all about, i just emailed them and told them the inch count i need, and told them to decide... i have received an extremely gracious email back considering how crazy i must...

aGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i needed that scream... i should have thanked hhjackets for the ebay ad, and deeb7 for the welcome but disheartening news of eric cartman sized highwaymen jackets from aero... that said, if a 4" increase over stated size is what i get on my 46...

YiXe2! thanks again deeb7 for that ad...i just wrote aero from the ad the following: "hi, i just ordered an aero highwayman horse leather in a size 46, and was told that would be right for my chest size of 44.5" unexpanded, 46" expanded...and i made clear that i need approximately 25" across...

YiXe! jeeeeesh, a 42 that's 52" in the chest...i must totally think that aero is selling this because it was made for someone with altered or custom measurements...all of their ebay ads are for the buyer to send in measurements, except when they are selling one that has already been made... i...

Re: Luftwaffe B-15...for MeMbers oNLY i love the various and sunDry leather luftwaffe jackets of ww2...and tho not leather, this is very cooL, and historically interesting... makes me think, just like hugo boss designed the ss outfit for himmler, and the nazi children's corps stuff for der...

QuESTiON answered on the AERO... thanks all, but i guess i got my question specifically answered on the sizing by this recent post on ebay...might help others with the same question...this is the aero highwayman, the same horsehide version i'm getting from aero, his is only 3 years old...>>>...
