    Maybe the OP got the post box mixed up with the search box? Come back Grumman, we were all noobs once.

    Tanker Jackets?

    Yeah, looks very similar. I think the colours inside are artefacts from jpeg compression? The knits are very similar in colour to the cotton, and as it mentions on that link it has an unissued look about it - ie, shiny new. Seems a good price.

    Tanker Jackets?

    I think they put the ebay price up to cover the charges from ebay and paypal. I can't comment on the Sol one (link?) But the EM quality is ok - as good as any other high street/casual cloth jacket for similar money. As I mentioned though, I did replace the zip slider with a more robust one...

    Tanker Jackets?

I knocked it up in a couple of days, using mum's old Bernina. It was a bit reluctant...

    Oh no! Talon zipper on Aero 38-1711-P stuck

    I had a problem like this with a repro tanker jacket - the zip wasn't locking. I took it to a tailor who squeezed the top and bottom of the zip together slightly which sorted it. She said if I had any more problems she could replace the moving part for a fiver. A few months later I had the same...

    Avirex A2 styled jacket First post - not sure if there's an intro area like some forums have (I had a quick look) but here's my recently acquired Avirex A2-inspired jacket. I have learned a lot from the site about WW2 pilot styled leather jackets, so thanks for the info and great jackets you've...
