Who makes a really nice one? Does anyone have one that's got the genuine sheepskin wool lining?

VANSON.................best damn leather jackets for unwashed masses!

They seem to have gone up in price substantially since 1941.

Only $1249, plus tax and shipping

Schott for the real deal.

I wonder what bomber wing wore that style jacket?

I have a Old B-3 Type Bomber Jacket with a hood its around 30+ years old....its one the warmest coats I own....the leather has a lot of "style" added from use....

SOB, some of them are expensive.

Dang. Guys will bitch and moan about sheep where they're hunting but they'll sure pay a lot for their hair.

I like some of these coats. Probably own one before it's over

But I imagine that 2/3 of the guys that might buy one of these have never laid eyes on a live sheep, and only hunt for spa deals. And this just judging from the models that wear these jackets in the online catalogues

Do they make 5X ?

lol

Damn! Cut me some slack Jack!

Another alternative is to join the military, you might get one for free.

That was your first post?

Geez.

This jacket just screams...shoot me here please.

Just a heads up.

My wife bought me one made with goatskin and down fill. It came from Eddie Bauer and was expensive. I loved it but unfortunately, it was made in China and that was the problem. The thread started disintegrating and it eventually fell apart.

Good sources here.

Sure, for a price. You need 5 extra sheep.

There used to be a show called Northern Exposure and Barry Corbin played a guy named Maurice Minnifield on it.

I remember, and this was years ago so that tells you how much an impression it had on me, he had a shearling coat and I've always wanted one since

And provides the X-ray so someone knows just where to aim.

Vanson are made to use and will get you to the gates and back.

Good Wear Leather has nice wares based on original contract designs. Probably the closest to the real thing.

Take a look at Aero, they have a lot of somewhat period correct styles.

Johnson Leathers in San Francisco will make about anything you want. They quoted me a jacket one time that wasn't out of line.

Yeah, Overland catalogues to 5X, and Flightjackets will custom build to spec.

I'm actually looking for a jacket for a 6'3"/220 son. But I always check out the adult sizes while I'm looking.

LMAO

KMRRA, Rockchuck...

LMAO.

Another Maser sock maybe.

I like the right hand pic on Overlands homepage

Overland

Warms me up just looking...

It screams


….hey fellas, I just got my first Fake PTSD check and I’m headed to the Harley Davidson dealership

And this is the pic I'm talking about. In case they change it and put some other pic there that would get me blackmailed.

I had to buy mine. I have owned it since 1999. It cost around $150 then.

kwg

There was a leather store just off base in Incirlik Turkey. They had some nice jackets that lots of guys bought. Never heard how long they held up. Price was right 20 years ago.

Only the $$$
