Update... I reached out to Mr. @STEVE S. who was able to replace the zipper and used the original zipper pull. I am very happy with his work and would definitely reach out to him again for any jacket related services! The zipper works like new and I'm sure I will get many years of use out...

Thanks for the information everyone. It seems like zipper replacement is the way to go. Anyone have any suggestions of where/who to have do this? I don't have any first hand experience with any leather shops near by. I live in the Northeast USA, specifically NH.

Hi all. I recently acquired an older Flight Suits Ltd replica of a Buaer G-1 jacket. The jacket fits me pretty much perfect, and is overall in really great shape. I plan on doing a light cleaning to the jacket in the near future. I'll make a post on the jacket overall soon. The one issue...

Thanks everyone for all of the help and feedback! As I mentioned before, I am very happy with the fit and jacket overall. It will get lots if wear. My question about the waistband was more long-term thinking. I live in New England, so there is plenty of weather opportunities to wear my new...

I wanted to report back now that I have received my exchange ANJ3 jacket from AVI (now a 42 with the arm and back length of a 40). Previously ordered a stock size 40. Morten was very responsive to my emails/questions after I realized I would need to exchange the first jacket and that I would...

Thanks for the replies, I agree the back doesn't look very good either... could this have to do with the front being so tight? I appreciate the feedback, I see what @mulceber is talking about with the waist too. While wearing it though, the waist actually feels somewhat loose. Now to figure...

Reporting back after my AVI ANJ3 purchase... I am very pleased with the service, response time, shipping time and quality of the ANJ3 from AVI. Morten was very quick to reply when I ordered, and to suggest I check the measurements one more time (which I did). He told me it would ship in 2...

Thank you both for your thoughts! @Brettafett I had also been looking at the ANJ3 style. It does seem better for an all around type solution. I appreciate the sizing suggestion, I would probably have ended up ordering a 38 otherwise. I did try to compare the measurements of a few of my other...

New member here. It’s a bit of a long post, but I tried to put in some research ahead of time, and didn't want to duplicate a thread. I am looking to purchase a M422a or G-1 type jacket. I’ve read through pretty much all of the threads I could find between here, TFL and general google...
