Hello
I used to be a member a few years back.... I am a keen collector of flying jackets and also own and fly a Tiger Moth and a NA Harvard (Texan to the US peeps).
I had two jackets stolen about 8 years ago - an Real McCoy NZ A2 RW and an Eastman Irvin BoB. I still have a Real McCoy B3 (redskin?) - but it is too bulky for the Tiger cockpit.
I am off to Japan next month and could go shopping for another RM A2 RW. Although expensive, if I am there it at least removes the cost of freight and import duty. Or - do I get an ELC A2 RW? If cost were removed (the RM will be around 10% more expensive) - which is the 'better' one to go for and why?
thanks in advance
