What about FiveStar?Hey Dan, adding the above... below are some trusted sources for new jacket reproductions.
You can sometimes find decent jackets on Ebay, but you have to tread carefully.
If you are keen, its better to learn a bit more and narrow down what you really are after.
You can also join The Fedora Lounge (generally more civilian style orientated, but often some flight jackets), they also have a Classifieds section.
Classifieds
www.thefedoralounge.com
High end - Expensive, highly detailed, authentic to originals as can be
https://www.eastmanleather.com (In the USA - https://www.historypreservation.com/products-page/eastman-leather-brands/)Good Wear Leather Coat Company — Welcome!
www.goodwearleather.com
For USN Navy flight jackets - @Maverickson / aka Dave Sheeley on this forum, also on Ebay.
https://jadubowmfg.com/a-2-jackets/ (best higher end A-2 repro for the price! No customisations)Home - Bill Kelso Mfg.
billkelsomfg.com
https://www.aeroleatherclothing.com
Mid Range/ more budget conscious, but still good quality, decent detailing and in some cases copied off originals.
https://www.avileather.com (fantastic budget flight jackets, all copied off original jackets in their collection)
Five Star - I think they have an Ebay shop or Shawn Ali on this forum
https://cockpitusa.com (great jackets, well-made, quality, but NOT based on original patterns)
There are more, but the above covers the better makers.
Other companies offer more 'bomber jacket' types, which are generic, more modern patterns. Often quite far removed from authentic , period issued flight jackets...
Best,

There's a pattern starting to appear here. So 2 blokes we know without jackets and without refunds.
Starting to look like Diamond Dave is perilously close to Headwind's modus operandi of - "I fuck my customers over, take their money, never make the jacket they ordered, and never give their money back."
Which of course is a crime under most civilised countries' legal definitions.
Wonder if Diamond Dave is buying a lot of stuff on Ebay like Jay is?

Don't waste time with paypal. Get a chargeback on your credit card, if that was linked to paypal and your method of payment.
Unfortunately the card thats linked to my PayPal is not a credit card, just a debit.

You got scammed. Won't your bank reimburse you?
Yes. It is obvious that he planned this. Because he took fosters money a year after mine..
No.. because its a debit card they dont do nothing.

I tried the same for a different deal gone wrong (Heisenberg) and it did not work either.
Neither PayPal nor my bank did anything to help. I disputed through both channels.

I'd also suggest Perrone leather.....you can usually find them on fleaBay US for a hundred or two and they are near bombproof

Best is to read all posts related… see pics and comments.
For me its over… I am not depending on 850 Euro plus customs…others may think about it and react.
