    Why you love Bomber Jackets. (its bomber jacket season again!)

    Johnson will make you an A-2, G-1, or whatever style you want from what I've seen.

    Hanger for heavy Leather Jacket

    I use a wide cedar hanger. No issues with shape as far as I can tell.

    Thanks

    Looking for a first leather jacket, likely the only one I'll have for a long time.

    I have the same chest and waist as you. I found the G-1 from G&B too roomy in the body. The Mil-spec Cockpit G-1 fit better but I'm going to have to go custom. You are taller than I am so I think a 44R from The Cockpit will fit you well.

    Johnson Leather Inc Jackets and Repair Work

    Very nice! I think I'm going to have to get myself a custom G-1 from there. It sounds as if Alan is very flexible with regard to leather, knits, lining, etc. Will he alter the fit of his flight jackets to suit one's desires?

    New Good Wear Ventura...

    Very nice, as everything from GW seems to be. I like the way you had him taper the back.

    My New Goodwear No-Name 42-18246-p

    That's as nice an A-2 as I've seen. Look forward to hearing your impressions.

    Who Makes the Best M-422A?

    If you're willing to consider G-1's I'd check out Lost Worlds near you in NYC. It's the best I've worn, but I've never seen Good Wear, Kelso, or Aero to compare.

    Schott Article

    The G-1 I was issued in 1999 was made by Schott. When looking to purchase a new one I was surprised that I was unable to find a milspec jacket on their website.

    G-1 Drop

    Thank you. I didn't realize their G-1 was so tapered. I'll be in NYC soon and will swing by their showroom.

    G-1 Drop

    I'll call them with my measurements and go with their recommendation. I'll let you know how things turn out. G&B should at least take care of the length issue since I can order a short if I have to go 44 or 46. Thanks again.

    G-1 Drop

    Thanks for the advice. I didn't realize they did military jackets. I will certainly get in touch with them if I decide to go the custom route.

    G-1 Drop

    Thank you for the reply. Knowing you're able to fit into a 44 is quite helpful. I think at my 69" height a 42R from G&B might work out well.

    G-1 Drop

    Thank you. I was issued a 46R G-1 while in the Marines. It fits in the chest but is too long everywhere and loose in the waist. I'll contact G&B and post what I find out. Thanks again.

    G-1 Drop

    By searching the forums I've developed a good feel for which brands run narrow versus those which run wide, such as G&B. What I can't tell is which have the largest drop from chest to waist. I have a 45" chest and a 33" waist. Which brand would fit me the best? Is there any hope for an...
