The one jacket you would never sell....

[Spitfireace]

Hope this was never posed before. I did a search here first and nothing. But here goes, which jacket is the jacket you would never sell?.. Interesting question.

If I could find a 100% original Dubow 27798 in a size 46, I would never let it go.

so glad this isn’t my size otherwise I might hatch out a plan to lift this from you.

 

[Spitfireace]

Those have been through the war. Repros not so much....

Although I like my Tanker Jackets

Nice fit too!

Hard to find stuff that fits. When you do.. take advantage of it....

Was daft enough to sell my Aero B-3 once, thankfully got it back (see here):-

A heart warming tale

Well Boys, in these troubled times, a tale to warm the cockles of your heart and restore your faith in the inherent goodness and decency of the human species. Regular visitors to these pages will no doubt be only too familiar with me bemoaning ad nauseam that I wish I'd never sold my Aero B-3...

Won’t make the same mistake twice.

I have not one, but several jackets that I definitely would never sell. In addition to my ELC Star, this is my original G-1, MA -1 which possibly belonged to Yeager, my RAF Mk3 which has seen the Falklands from above and my vintage Soviet AF flight jacket.
Other jackets will probably would be sold sometime.

This one...............I WILL get round to fixing the knit this Spring, I've had identical replacement for several years now

I’ll never sell my original Buco J100 in brown horsehide. Ken from Aero really helped me out finding a repro label and the correct Talon pull that was missing. Had a seamstress sew the label back on. It’s the jacket I will lose weight for and possibly, just possibly, hand it down to my favorite child at some point if any info them develop an obsession with old leather jackets.

My keeper is a patched up Rough Wear 1401P contract in russet Horween horse lovingly created by Diamond Dave. You've probably heard that Bella Lugosi was buried in his Dracula rags. For me this is it.

She’s a beaut’ for sure !!

 

[B-Man2]

Nice one!

 

[Micawber]

Repro's not that fussed about but anything gifted to me by one of my veteran chums, jackets included, gets handed down to my family or put in a museum.

This is an unmarked preWWII jacket I picked up years ago and fits me perfectly. Fantailed talon, wool. I'd love to know what model it is. Faint outlines where the original tag was. Love this jacket.
