Hi, I would like to share some pictures of our first sample jacket of the M-445A jacket. Its based on an original Fried. Ostermann M-445A. It would be great if you could share your feedback. Thanks. Morten - AVI LEATHER

Thank you very much for this. I think you are right about these thoughts. We will have a version created with longer cuffs.

I have 2 questions: 1. It seems like some B3 jackets have longer cuffs. Would you prefer longer cuffs? Even though the cuffs have the same measurements as our original B3. 2. Some has mentioned that the sleeve are too short. The measurements of the sleeves should be pretty similar with other...

Thank you so much for the feedback everyone. Its really valuable. I have measured the cuff on the original B3 and compared it with our version. Please find the pictures below. Seems to be the same measurement.

Thank you very much for the feedback. I have checked some different pictures and it looks like the size of the cuffs varies from contract to contract. But i will certainly investigate it more and maybe create the cuffs a touch longer.

Im glad you like the overall shape. I guess you mean Russet Brown facings? That could certainly be something that could be offered if there is interest in it.

Thanks for the feedback Greg. Will measure it and post some more pictures.

Morten from AVI LEATHER here :) Thanks for posting this @Brettafett. Just read the comments about the cuffs. They should be similar with the old original jacket, but maybe I missed something? I have inserted a side by side picture below to compare.

I think it would be a good way to have it like this. I just had a look at some vintage jackets which actually have it like this.

Thats very important feedback. I dont want any guys to look pregnant! :) What about this design for the hand warmer?

Thats a very good point. Many customers are not concerned about the historical accuracy.

Maybe a solution could be: 1. The A-2A jacket. This jacket has the A2 look but with some updates. Cargo pockets as the original ones with side entries as hand warmers. Inside pocket. Bi-swing back. Brown rayon lining. This jacket is for the customers who would like a more practical A2 jacket...
