UK -based D-1's ...from dealers

Paul, the first one is a real patchwork jacket and has a post war Lightning main zip. It looks like a late 40s or 50s bike jacket, but there were so many D1 varients its hard to be 100% sure. I can't find the second one.

The second link didn't show the page, it's on the USAAF flight jacket page. The second has the left sided collar strap and also a Lightning zip but apparently has a maker's tag so could be a real one...it's sold anyhow.

Looks original to me. The Few do a similar repro.
