Sure, similar to your previous effort, which personally I preferred. I think it's good to keep trying variations out and, who knows, maybe you'll hit on a couple of original styles you could patent and put into production...hey, never say never. And you could try and do those repro's that aren't being offered by the other makers.fishmeok said:Asiamiles- I guess I should call it an A-1 style jacket.

I'm not saying you should copy originals (after all, ELC do that job) but with those pockets it really doesn't look like an A-1, and I'm not sure those pockets suit the lighter weight leather.
