Before that we started working on D-1 Mechanics Jackets and due to some well informed members like Mr. @ties70 really helped us to complete the job, But we...

Hi All,

Wanted to share my good fortune with the Forum members. I've just received my first made to order Good Wear jacket! In this case, I decided upon the Monarch W535-AC-23348 Conract A-2 as my jacket of choice. Although there are so many A-2 makes to choose from it was not to difficult for me to decide on the Monarch.

What piqued my interest in the Monarch was it’s unique details of design. Those details I admire include the shape of it’s collar, the lack of a collar stand, it’s...

Hi People,

Do you know of any good online shops for leather jackets? In a price range of £ 200-400?

If possible, no jackets made in Asia. But I let myself be convinced if the quality is right.

I would also be more interested in "normal" leather jackets than thick flight jackets.

Regards

In order to shorten the waiting time for my Aero, I now read all possible posts about leather jackets and stumbled of the nice thread <https://www.vintageleatherjackets.org/threads/amelia-earhart-flight-jacket-reproduction-the-aviatrix.19470/> from Skyhawk (thanks for that) and thought, why not try something like that?
Since I also came across @Shawn Ali from FivestarLeather in this forum, I simply asked if he could make me a jacket like this. This should sweeten...

Hello,

After 5 months I received my J.A Dubow W535ac27798 in russet. Since a lot has been said about the quality, finish and how faithful to the original the details are, I will only add how pleased I am with the jacket! I think the waiting time is quite okay and normal for the quality you get. After careful analysis of sizing and fitting, I went for a 42, I think I nailed it. I am getting use to the lower arm holes, roomier p2p and pocket flaps position (more to the back) compared to my...
