Like with your GW, this is, in my opinion, what an A-2 ought to look and fit like. Perfection. Well done, Pete.

Thanks. My bronco is actually my least favourite of my gw’s. And I really don’t know why.

That's a shame. It looks like it's the perfect fit and made with the perfect hide. Is there anything particularly uncomfortable about the pattern?

I really can’t explain it. Not saying I don’t like it. But when I go to my closet with my massive collection of 3 jackets, 9 times out of 10 I grab my 23380 or dubow.

Hi, guys!
Today it got colder in Kyiv and I had to put on my A-1 from Peter Brabander.

Nice jacket … never seen that one before . Looks a little like Eastman Thunderbirds jacket .

I wanna see a shot of B-Man rocking this (or one of your many, many beautiful jackets).

You have a certain essence B-Man - you just make a flight jacket look good!

You make an old man feel great !!

Took a quick shot of a newly aquired GW 18091 from Jan. Trying to channel Sideslip's relaxed WWII fit. Sleeves are a bit much for me and it definitely shows from a rear view, but otherwise the jacket fits nicely. Thanks again for giving the jacket a new home Jan.

Man, nobody does a RW collar like JC. Looks great on you, Luke! On you, it has that relaxed, Rough Wear fit that looks so great.

YoungMedic · 2024-09-30T20:52:02-0400

Yeah looks spot on to me! Let me know if the sleeves are too much for you to live with

mulceber · 2024-09-30T20:54:36-0400

Yeah, seeing Luke in that jacket, I *want* to say I'm getting seller's remorse, but really, it's weight gain remorse! If I was still as trim as when I got it (or, what's more, as Luke is now), it'd be on the never-sell list.

That's the fit Coolhand, that is the fit. Just look at that collar in all her glory, beautiful!

What I learned from Bespoke jacket forum is, jacket acquired from other guy provided better fit.

Thanks gentlemen. I'm pretty smitten with it. This Pakistani goat hide is unreal.

Go find a kids playground and hang from the monkey bars for about 15 minutes a day for a few months . It”ll get those arms to stretch out ………. yours not the jackets !

It might decompress your spine as well, so win-win.

True enough. Buddy of mine has back problems. Hangs from his ankles every day like a friggin bat. Says it helps.

Nice jacket even though the proportions are different to EASTMAN - my guess it is a FIVESTAR ...

Looks really nice - i might go for one as well
