    Looks like Cockpit USA got tons of new arrivals

    I was hesitating to buy Aero highwayman or not since it costs too much. Now given that cockpit makes a more expensive moto jacket, it looks like Aero's price of it's authentic highwayman is really reasonable.

    Goodwear vs Eastman vs Bill Kelso

    Hey, what do you guys think of some Japanese brand, like BUZZ RICKSON, REAL MCCOY, TOYS MCCOY, etc. I know these Japanese brand are famous at some motor jackets, but they also made good flight jacket repro. Do you think they are making the same level jackets as what are mentioned here?

    Which brand can fill the gap of the Horsehide A-2 jacket Repro at $500 range?

    Hey, I made lots of research the Platon's https://jadubowmfg.com/ last week and decided to make the order. The jacket looks amazing and sells only by around $500. But turns out it already suspended the business. Do we have any alternative A-2 jacket which has good quality in the price range...
