Yes. See lots of those. And the big baggy ones that have arm pits 6 inches above the waist.I have to say, I don't see many leather flight jackets, either. Maybe a G-1(like) now and again, a few nylon types, but never any A-2s around here.
20 years ago, or so, I used to see the mall, distressed versions a lot, but never any more.
That's for *serious* layering.And the big baggy ones that have arm pits 6 inches above the waist.
And the map lining. Eeew, the 80’s.That's for *serious* layering.
Very true …. Avirex was pretty much the only game around … well in the US at least … in the UK, SEFTON was the better choice .Me too. Though there wasn’t much to pick from in the 80’s
Don't forget the hand-warmers and snaps outside the pocket flaps.And the map lining. Eeew, the 80’s.
I don't know about "lots," but I still have 2 of the 3 jackets I bought from FS. Wear 'em all the time.Yeah, I gave flight suits lots of money too after Avirex
When did W&G first start selling "repros?" I got their catalogs all the time, but I think I already knew about ELC before then.The other choices were Vanson and Willis & Geiger.
Not sure, but I discovered them around 89,90When did W&G first start selling "repros?" I got their catalogs all the time, but I think I already knew about ELC before then.
The FS or W&G?They weren’t bad jackets. A little baggy for my liking
I believe both of mine were flight suits, but I could be wrong. That was a long text ago and the jackets have been gone many years now. They were both hh.The FS or W&G?
One of my FS is baggy-ish, but the other isn't. Both of them (and the one I sold on) fit me the best in the shoulders of any repro I've owned.
The one I sold was a very robust HH A-2. The A-2 I still have is a very nice, veg-tanned, russet goat (one of the first Gibson & Barnes labeled jackets).They were both hh.
This. I think they're still G&B at this time.Can’t remember if it was flight suits and then g&b...
