Be strong ... the dark side is calling you .
But of course I buy shearlings in the summer , live in Florida and talk a lot of shit about being strong, so I’m not the guy to listen to

Just looked at the Bronson site -- nice looking pieces. Always eyeballed the U.S. Army mackinaw. ATF stopped making it a while ago.

If you look at the reviews section I’m pretty sure you”ll find a couple of reviews on the Bronson B-10 and B-15a jackets .

Both the Bronson and the Bob Dong B-10s were nice. Great value and well made. They are slightly different jackets in details and fit.
I read somewhere that ATF has revamped their B-10, so I'm keen to see how it compares to the above.

I am glad that AVI is making a comeback and wish them the very best. I remember there was an issue with their old jacket maker that may have ended with some theft of their patterns. I know they parted ways and switched manufacturers. That was a very unfortunate situation.
I have a Bronson B-10 and I really like it. Very warm. The mouton had a few bald spots, and a button popped off in the first few weeks. For a cheap repro though, I am happy. The pattern is very nice.

Hi,
Could anyone on here be able to help me out with a couple of measurements for AVI G-1 jackets in a 40 and 42? I have the basic measurements off the website but would like to know sleeve length , front length etc. I emailed morten over a week ago but have heard nothing as yet.
Cheers.

AVI LTHR Bronco updated 2019 version
Hello all, I have literally just received an email from AVI LTHR, that their updated Broncos have arrived. These are made from a veg-tanned seal goatskin, and from the pics at least... the jackets look pretty neat and tidy. Those pocket flaps are a step up, as is the knit... AVI recon there's...

AVI LTHR 55J14 G-1 Jacket Review & pics
A while back I reviewed an A-2 from AVI Leather and had asked them if they planned to make an G-1/M422a in the near future. The response was something like… watch this space. Well, I did… and am pleased to present to the Lounge my latest acquisition. An AVI Leather version of the classic 55J14...
AVI LTHR 55J14 G-1 Jacket knit & zipper 'upgrade' pics
I like my AVI LTHR 55J14 G-1 so much, I decided to invest in some upgrades. There is currently an 'upgraded' version available, but I am very happy with the jacket I already have. So, to bring it up to the 'best it can be'... I replaced the zipper with a 'higher grade' repro silver Talon...

FS: AVI G1 Flight Jacket Bauer 55J14 size 42
For sale is my last spring clear-out: a beautiful entry-level G1 jacket size 42 made by AVI LTHR. Sad to put this G1 on sale as I love G1 jackets. However, I have a belly that requires over 600 miles of running to fit in so have to let it go for more roomy jackets. @Brettafett had an excellent...
