My collection has waxed and waned over the years. Currently, it's pretty thin.

Repros:
Real McCoys New Zealand M-422a
Real McCoys Japan Stagg B-10
WW2 Impressions M-41 field jacket

Originals:
H&L Block M-422a (untagged but it's got the long torso short arms that are so peculiar to that contract)

Original Moto:
60's or 70's Brooks Cafe Racer in beat, but cool shape

That's it, folks.

Easily 3 times that has passed through my hands during my tenure of collecting. Next purchase is (I hope) a Dubow Goodwear A-2.

-Jake

 

[Stony]

Original

A-2 Speiwak size 42 (but fits like 40), completely rebuilt and the leather is the only original part


Repro

ELC Cable Horse size 42 with approximately 15 aces signatures on the lining

Avirex Horse size 42 with approximately 110 aces and aviation personalities signatures on the lining


All three are for sale (not an ad, so if it sounds too much like one, please move to "Buy/Sell", thank you)

 

[rpmooreii]

Hey, is that Vermont Mahogany horse you mentioned, the same thing as Vermont Expresso?? Just curious if it is a different shade.

[Cliff]

My collection are all repros..............

A2 ELC Star
A2 ELC Pearl Harbour Havana
A2 Goodwear Aero 16160

A2 Cooper - Which started my terrible "disease" so never parted company with it despite it no longer being worn !!

B3 ELC

Irvin ELC 1942 pattern
Irvin Aero - Not a great Repro but never the less a well made jacket and extremely warm.

Irvin Aviator - My jacket of mystery. A very accurate repro made in the UK but have never been able to track down by who ! Not early ELC or Aero, and certainly not an Aviation Leathercraft.

Regards

Cliff
