Grant,As the member below stated, We corresponded years ago, back when I was a regular on the Aero Leather forum that Ken, in Scotland, had up. Do you know who might be able to stencil a Tank destroyer thing on the back of a Tanker Jacket? My email address is: [email protected]

I've just double checked I suppose it's more like 22 inch I was airing on the side caution.
Back measured at 25 inches.
Eastman size 40 on the label.

Just saw your jacket post from 2011 with photos. Who/what company made this jacket? Love the collar color. Thank you for the information.

Hi Nick!

I saw that you had purchased an Aero A-2 from Thurston Brothers.

I am considering buying an Aero A-2 and was wondering how was your experience with them? What made you buy from them vs. direct from Aero? Which contract/pattern did you get? I am considering the Aero 38-1711-P Type A-2.

Any feedback or suggestions based on your experience would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your reply.

Hi JimO,

I appreciated compliments on my Switlik M-422. Especially since of late It has become abundantly clear to me that the majority of forum members now have a diminished interest in originals and more fine jackets in general.

Cheers, Dave

Dave-

Thanks for checking in.

I will probably never own an original or a higher end ($$$) jacket, but I can certainly appreciate quality, craftsmanship, uncompromising attention to detail, passion & love for one's art- ALL of which you display in your work. Keep on doing it, if not for the accolades of others, but for YOUR own pride & personal satisfaction. :)

Hi dao!

Sorry it took me a while to get back to you. My custom features were: made to measure sizing, premium goatskin, lining, thread & knit color choices & goatskin collar stand lining. If you can use off the shelf sizing and leather material, you may not incur a customization upcharge. The total delivered cost of both my goatskin Doniger & Werbers was $235.

That mean 1.5mm goatskin thick jacket weighs 1.5kg and 1.2mm goatskin weighs 1.1kg, right?
I have a biker jacket weighs 1.5kg. The jacket is very comfortable to wear. But when wearing for a long time, it feel heavy in shoulder. So I'm considering choosing thick leather.

In your post, I see the details "Dark Cognac Brown 6 ply thread". Please explain me clearly about this detail.
With Khaki cotton lining. In the winter, do you feel warm? All I need is a jacket can wear in the winter

Go with the thick leather. The thread & lining colors are shown on the 5* website. This is a leather jacket with a cotton lining and NO extra insulation. If you want to wear it in the 30 degrees F. wear it over a sweater.

Hi,

I appreciate the LIKE on my original Corrigan jacket. That particular pending reproduction jacket using that same pattern has been in the works for over a year now and about to come to fruition. Again, no guess work here or simply using a picture to get fantasy jacket.

As I have taken the time to study it's design thoroughly and both inside and out.

Cheers, Dave

Hi,

I appreciate the like. I know that I could have built several reproduction jacket in the time I spent to do this one restoration. A true labor of love.

But I am always striving for authenticity.

Cheers, Dave

Do you have the actual contacts for Steve Sellers and Dave Sheeley? This relates to getting a replacement, detachable lighter color collar for an A-2 style jack. You referenced those names in a post another member had, same issue as mine. Thank you in advance. New to this forum and find it very intimidating.
