nice! a quick search on ebay shows even a broken one goes for 350 euros, in working condition they go for thousands!

This is my one, I am pretty sure it is a Vicenza, I got this a few years ago so can't really remember the details, it was one of those apprentice jackets, maybe Ken can ID it if he is around? I also have another "real deal" jerkey A-2 from Aero, but that was from around 20 years ago so I am not...

that's strange, when I got my bag from them back in 2020 they were very quick to respond, usually 24-48 hours. this was the email address I used - [email protected]

would've bought one in a heartbeat except I have cats, looks like ATF understands as well "Hair Magnet: If you have pets, be prepared for furmageddon. The dark blue cotton is a magnificent magnet for hair of all kinds and carrying a lint roller in the pocket would be a good idea."

mate the Flying Tigers patch is really nice! who was the maker?

while we are talking about Redbubble, I have came across this seller: https://www.redbubble.com/people/pzd501/shop plenty of USAAF, USAF, USN etc designs there.

yeah definitely looking for the large version. not too familiar with these things, so is the small version called "webbing pack" while the bigger one is called "large pack"?

Just wonder if anyone knows a relatively cheap source for a replica of the P37 pack (large size)? example: https://www.worldwarsupply.com/product/original-od-large-british-p37-pack-with-shoulder-strap-2/ been looking for one to convert to what was used in The Mandalorian, don't really want...

personally, I could never understand the obession with puffer jackets, but this one is just a whole new level................ :D

my condolences to the owner, but why wait 5 years before telling people about it?

nice! but no-go zone for me as a cat owner even if I could ever get my hands on one of these (dark colored wool garments, other cat owners will know why :D)

looks kinda similar to this one, but it is AAF https://garciaaviation.com/collections/patches/products/usaaf-96th-patch

IIRC I think the "belly" on that patch was actually clouds, or cartoonish "spirals" that symbolises running. (think Road Runner)

the outline reminds me of a design that has a running horse/donkey on it, but couldn't find it after browsing for 10 mins on ebay.

Sidelsip: thx for all the photos and the detailed report :D if I am ever there I will probably go home with a few suitcases full of jackets LOL
