Gorgeous. So, Dave is also making his own line of A-2s? I thought he was on board with GW so color me confused in the crazy market.
That's a killer jacket though.

Very dynamic situation, but we are the winners indirectly.

Looking good Dave!!!

Oh well, I will not be looking at it then.

That sounds like my Dad in the 80s. He proudly wore his "I don't own a TV" badge everywhere he went.
You can still look at a Facebook page and not sign up, FWIW...but bravo to you for sticking it to the man!

For our FB abstainer friends, I submit these....

Reproduction Chain Talon with original Talon slider... Japanese produced Red Knits and of course GW labels. As with all of my new jacket line, this
one is marked down inside the left sleeve with an "H" for Howell as well as a number.. this one happens to be #11, being the 11th A-2 jacket that I have
produced. This should assist people in the future to tell first off, that it is NOT an original, but also that it is not a GW per se.

Scott,

Yes I am indeed "on board" with Good Wear. That said, I will be making in greater and greater numbers for Chappy. Of course, John has been very cool in letting me delve out into my own weird little world to make what I want to make, as in the most accurate and used looking jacket that I can come up with... IMHO, my new skill set is starting to produce results.

Looks fantastic!

Out of curiosity, are these made to order, or made for general stock sales on a first come, first serve basis?

Sean,

This is the first of my new "Air Depot" line of A-2's. These are meant to emulate the jacket that was thrown at a new cadet in the AAF, during the war. These will be stock sizing, just as originals were.

[Ian C]

That'll be my next one for sure.

We really are spoilt for choice these days, stunning.

Dave,
Thanks! That's killer. My size too
JC is a good man for sure, and who woulda thunk the jacket realm would be in the condition it's in today five years ago?
Excellent work!

I like this approach!

Very nice, much better posted on VLJ. Where it belongs

More people see it out 'there'. Don't be so selfish!

Let's be honest. This explains how we act when there is a new jacket available on the open market. The fewer people that know about it, the better chance we have to get it!

Well, that seems accurate!
