I wear my WW2 jerkin more often than any flight jacket. My father in law had a tailor sew arms from a greatcoat in to his for extra warmth.
BTW Aero make these out of FQHH

Did they ever make you the custom Irvin John?
It's on hold at the moment. [no money]

I like the jerkins, but I'm going to concentrate on basic A-2 styles (A-2,A-1,Lincoln Brigade, etc.)and half belts until I perfect them (including that ANJ-3). Sucessfully re-sizing the pattern to a 42 was a huge step for me, took a lot of work to get the proportions right. I probably have 20-25 hours into this jacket alone, including making the pattern. My sidecar rig is still in pieces in the garage, you can see where my priorities are...
Cheers

Hi Charlie, my first message for you. Superb jacket, the quality is here (and your taylor is rich ;) )

I recovered the grey leather jacket (with the strange serial number "OR 83 655 10 67").
