Today I thought I'd see if my original Martin Lane (1968) goatskin G1 fitted me yet. I've had to lose 18 lbs to get it this far, still a little snug around the waist but I've got another couple of inches to shed there before I'm finished [emoji5] Back to the jacket - the knits were totally shot...

Thank you kind sir! I do like to get it out and expose it to public view occasionally [emoji5] Sent from my SM-G531H using Tapatalk

Well thanks to storm Hannah I'm able to give my Aero A2 a rest and wear my Bob Dong Superior Togs B10 for a change [emoji5] Didn't think I'd get the chance again this year, so thanks again to Marks & Spencer for allowing me to use their disabled toilet facilities for the photo op [emoji5] Im a...

Hi Ken, having read a large amount of posts (some a little confusing) on this, I was wondering, just for absolute clarity, if you could please put up a pic of the lease lend Soviet Air Force jacket you will be reproducing in the autumn. Sorry for being a bit thick [emoji5] Sent from my SM-G531H...

I spotted this but alas the auction was held over 8 Years ago... Sent from my SM-G531H using Tapatalk

I'm afraid it's my Aero 38-1711-P again (you must be getting bored with it). I do have other flight jackets, honest! But I'm basically wearing this one 24/7 at the moment breaking it in, and enjoying it immensely. Boy , I've never had so many sideways glances walking down the street in my life...

Yes, either that or I may buy an original like yours from the 1970s, but it would need to be in decent wearable condition. But I do like the idea of a very early pattern in horsehide by Aero. Sent from my SM-G531H using Tapatalk

A superb and hugely helpful review of this flight jacket - thank you so much for sharing! This info will surely help inform my decisions in the future in my hunt to acquire one of these. Whether I wait for an original - certainly one of the earlier patterns and preferably in cow or horse - or go...

Thank you very much indeed, gentlemen, for your kind words and wishes - very much appreciated! [emoji5] Sent from my SM-G531H using Tapatalk

Met my newest granddaughter (aprox 22 hours old at the time of writing ) - Ava - for the first time today. Decided to wear my beautiful Aero seal horsehide 38-1711-P A2 with rust knits for the occasion [emoji5] ... Sent from my SM-G531H using Tapatalk

+1 yes please, more info. I'm keeping my eye on these, I think there are a few originals around you can buy. I'm keeping my powder dry. Yours is a beauty, many congratulations, and wear it in good health! Sent from my SM-G531H using Tapatalk

Just looking at those photos, that 2nd edition jacket with the one top pocket is the one that really catches my eye... Sent from my SM-G531H using Tapatalk
