Anything and Everything A-1

[bseal]

I totally take your point about the front vertical lines. It's either to one's aesthetic or not. All I can say is I had loads of inspiration...

It has oodles of grain and drape right out of the 1927 box...

I love that jacket! It has tons of character right off the sewing table; just outstanding.

Look at those vertical lines...

I think that's Einstein's Event Horizon A1.....or perhaps the Singularity version, hard to tell .....

It's a Levi Cossack with slash pockets - pure genius.

That goatskin looks a lot like the washed goat, John!

Looks like Wallace Beery and Clark Gable are sporting leather USN 37J1 jackets in this publicity still for Helldivers. Dig the VF-1B Tophatters painted on patches. The real Tophatters flew off of the Saratoga in the 1930's.

That’s Cliff Edwards with Gable above.

Fun movie btw. Wally Beery and Gable are flying CPOs, then Wally (who's kind of a SOB) gets busted to 1st class and can't fly any more...or so we think...

Got any pictures of it lying flat - or fit pics for that matter?

That'd be appreciated @bseal.

for the first time in almost 2 decades, I don't own a single A-1 (well sort of, I done won the RRL cloth "vintage flying jacket"). have not decided if I miss it yet. if I do, no idea who/what/where/if to replace.

 

[John Lever]

No A1......?

 

[Lord Flashheart]

It could be heresy in a thread this venerable but I'll ask it anyway:

"A-1 ... in a sentence ... why?"



[Edit. I'll get my coat (or A-2) ... ]
