ATF M1941 jacket since its a fairly warm day here in Nevada!

this would look great in Eastman's G-1 goatskin

beautiful B-3! for a zipper pull, Id recommend some ruby red or yellow dice on a ball chain. I have a pair on my B-15

I think she looks great! my grandad had a surplus B-3 that fit just like that one, "roomy" and sleeves were a bit long, he just rolled the cuffs up a couple inches, then brought it into the bathroom everytime he showered to let the heat and steam shrink up the shearling and leather, after a...

Did the zipper adjustment help?

Yep, ordering from HPA

yea my bare chest measures at 23 inches (43 inches in circumference) so I presume the 48 will fit just right, especially since the Rough Wear B-15 fits me just right in 48

I concur, I also am of the belief of Quality over Quantity when it comes to garments such as vintage flight jackets. Its worth putting the extra effort and extra money in, and getting a much finer product at the end. I may not have many vintage repop jackets or accessories, but what I do have...

Interesting! I'd love a cloth or wool A-1 myself, those jackets are unique in that they were made of so many materials and not just only leather and were still acceptable for military use (try wearing a cotton or wool private purchase A-2 on an airfield in WWII and see how far you got haha) and...

http://www.goodwearleather.com/37J1/front_view2.jpg Jay, you ever think of making these when the Goldsmiths are finished? they'd fit into your pre-war themed jacket line perfectly! they're pretty much not made by anyone anymore and are all but extinct (original and repops) why not start these...
