Fun with a cheap A-2 jacket

[Anonymous]

I liked the grain and fit on this 50.00 jacket, so I patched it up. Guess the maker.

It does have a one piece back, and two piece arm. Also has vertical stitching through the back of the jacket for the neck hanger.

Pockets are high even for an Eastman so.......

Are those hand stitched? If so, that's a great looking job! I think it's $50 well spent.

No correct guess yet. Yes it's hand sew.

Nice work, excellent patch, most of the jackets I have painted for ME in the past have the name or name strip in the pre-war position above the left pocket like this one - my preferred placement!

What a beautiful hide (moo? )... i have the same plan too but it's been a month since i saw a good thick Flight apparel on evil bay.

Interesting, Flight Apparel Industries sees to have made a few different patterns, considering they weren't making reproduction copies per se.

I really like those dices too, are they vintage?
