Hi guys,
Just looking over the jackets I have, and thought I'd make a list of what I have, what are keepers, and what may be out the door at some point. What do you all have?
My keepers:
GW A-1, RMCNZ Roughwear, Aero A-2 (custom "RealDeal"), Aero Highwayman, Aero KOTR, DD J24, G&F M422a (restored by Aero about 10 yrs ago)
My possible sales jackets:
The Few A-1, German(?) leather tank jacket (not sure-John Lever would know), ELC Hartmann
Jackets I remember selling/giving away:
LW A-2, ELC G-1, RMCJP A-2, RMCNZ "Red" Roughwear, RMCNZ Monarch, ELC Aero contract A-2, Buco J24 (don't get me started on this-was a sz 36-38, too small for me eventually, but I wore it unzipped for a while before giving it away-was my father's), RMCNZ Dubow, Unnamed contract A-2, etc....for every one I remember, there's probably 3 I don't...
Through the years I have owned many repros, some originals, and have owned at one time jackets from all of the major players out there. I started with an Avirex G1 approximation (with genuine faux-fur detachable collar!) which I wore so much the liner disintegrated, moved on to the "proper" repros, and have lately settled on the motorcycle jackets that I wore in my youth. It's a great hobby in that you can stoke your interest in many different directions, but in the end, it all comes down to the cool jackets...
