It is not a bad film. The CGI in it is fantastic.

Ok so I think Kim Jong Un (the famous God like leader of North Korea) has a bit of a leather jacket collection. The point of this thread is to show them off. So each time I come across one I am going to put it into this thread. I thought it would be good to guess the size, type of leather and...

How did you watch it?

Interesting. I mean cape skin is a pretty thin leather anyway so I guess it depends what your initial expectations are. I think the best option is for me to get several samples sent over (including the lamb skin). I can do a bit of a post on it all for everyone then. Just out of interest did...

Yea I have read his post. It’s the same colour way I was going to go for. He has his in steer hide but for me I am more keen on the lighter cape skin.

So I am thinking of pulling the trigger on a Five Start A-1 with the below specifications. My logic is it should just make a good everyday jacket for summer alongside the ECL. Seal Brown capeskin Small original-style pockets Horn buttons Seal brown knits Seal brown thread Brown cotton lining...

Indeed it is. John was good enough to PM me and highlight this.

Funny you say that, I have an Eastman A-2 that got some stain on it. By just wearing the jacket they sort of just fade out over time with use. The jacket look a lot better over time, especially if you do basic care of it.

Have any of you any ideas on a good value for money A-1 manufacturer? I have an A-1 from ECL but it’s just too expensive to have as an everyday jacket. I saw this one on eBay for under £100 and just wanted to see what your thoughts and experiences is with a decent everyday A-1 and who makes an...

I am wearing my G-1 today ;)

Well done man. I find an extremely expensive leather jacket collection is a great way to keep you trim.

This is the other Eastman contract I have. Not sure off the top of my head what it is, you can see it’s a lot trimmer yet the same size.

Cheers to the members who’ve noted similar experiences with A2 jackets. It seems the consensus is that WW2 A2 flight jackets were indeed crafted to be a touch roomy, offering ample freedom for movement and the option to don additional layers beneath. The upper torso is typically afforded a bit...

It’s an ELC one I got a few years ago. It’s a more roomy contract than the other one I have.
