Looks very unusual....

 

[CBI]

HORRIFIC!

 

[Jeff M]

Not my cup of tea.

 

[Vcruiser]

What thuh....?? :shock: :?

 

[Persimmon]

Shockingly Bad

Oh dear what is Eastman up to

 

[dujardin]

beurkkkkkk

 

[mindful]

i like it alot looks like buzz rickson flight instructor jacket they had and nearly the same price

 

[ButteMT61]

Not that bothered by it. The price though is more ugly...

 

[alabama]

That is awful and what a price.

 

[Marv]

Looks like a 1940's college varsity jacket and I must say......I kinda like it in weird sort of way :shock:

 

[Anonymous]

threir other civilian designs look ok though

Yeah, me too. If you take the "A-1" moniker away and just look at it on it's own, I could wear one I think. But at that price? No thanks...
And for what they charge for jackets, one would think they could host their website on something that loads a little quicker. It's the slowest site I visit in regards to jackets and collectibles.

that's exactly what it is about this jacket it a college varsity style jacket, buzz rickson version is a way nicer than this one

 

[mindful]

i would like to see John, GW make a version of this style jacket i reckon it would be awesome

 

[Dr H]

Hmmm...not for me thanks, not my cup o' char, but then these mixed media jackets (grizzlies, college jackets, etc.) don't work for me.

I hope he has more sense than that !

 

[Vcruiser]

Wonder if they'd make a matching warhorse varsity beanie..?

 

[Rutger]

Leather sleeves and wool body doesn't appeal to me very much, they're right in claiming classic vintage design and practical versatility. I kind of like it and I wouldn't be appalled if I ever see someone walking in it. Feel no urge to buy one or keep a close watch for a used one.
Would rather take another classic A1 from their capeskin anytime.

Aiming at the young and fashionable, and Japanese fantasy flight jacket market?

 

[crazyace]

WHAAAAAT?

 

[Peter Graham]

I sort of like it but was there ever an original of this ?
