The one and only Pancho Barnes. And btw, quite a cast of characters, if not legends in their own right, on that photo, apart from Pancho Barnes and Chuck Yeager - from left: Jack Ridley, Ike Northrup, Pete Everest, P. Barnes, Chuck Yeager and Clarence "Bud" Anderson. Gus Askounis at the keyboard.Yup, that one:

Tried on my G-1s and M-422as today, for fun. Still not cool enough to actually wear a flight jacket.

This poncho Barnes is so cool, I love the shape of those lapels.
How does it wear unzipped?

Managed a couple of hours last evening in my GW RW-23380 at a friends barbecue. No pics but it was great to be back wearing it as the temperature dropped away. It felt good to be out of the, er, rain heat....

The short answer is, a little lop-sided.
The extreme cross-zip means that when the jackets open, one side hangs down further than the other.

Spent the weekend in the ELC Monarch. Thought I may have gone too thin but it kept me warm...literally and spiritually. Nobody at the gun show noticed... amateurs!

That looks like a Pancho Barnes jacket without the large floppy lapels.

Wow, I didn't realize this was a jacket type Greg offers, as it's not listed on his website. How did you come by this beauty?
It's a full custom design / pattern. I used various design features from vintage and repro aviator jackets and combined them into one design. The ball and chain chest zipper is a 30s original, as are the corozo buttons (I hand dyed them to match the color of the jacket).
Design inspiration:
The end result:
Note the handwarmer pocket behind the d pocket

It may looks short in the front, but the length is perfect when sitting down.
