That's a decent resource, Paddy-could that be made a 'sticky' at the head of the forum to direct people to? Would save having to post links every time someone else wants flight jacket info.

Also, let's think about providing some general feedback about some of these vendors. I have experience with several of them at this point and would certainly be willing to share my view of their merchandise and/or customer service.
Garcia: A+ service, excellent items! Mix of repro and original.
Who sucked all of the atmosphere out of this joint?
that's a great idea. I'm new to collecting flight jackets,still waiting for my new Aero 1942 contract reproduction to arrive. It would be very interesting to hear some reviews from everyone here. Sefton
When I have a moment spare, I'll look at having this (list of vendors) as a 'permanent' resource, easily accessed at the top of our Club Room here! Any personal feedback on vendors is fine as always, but just pop it into this running thread please. Great suggestions guys! thankYOU.

Thanks guys, what a great idea! I've rushed out a few contacts for everyone to reference at their leisure and there should be enough info among that lot. But 'as and when' new ones come along, I'll add them. And feel free to FLAG UP any ones you come across that you feel folk visiting this club room would find of use. Or PM me with the info, I'll have a squint at it and if appropriate, it'll get posted in the reference section ASAP...SIMPLE AS PIE!
Hope you all find it useful, it's your room guys and your idea...so THANKS!

I purchased a jacket from USwings a year ago, and it was a good price and great service, and the product was exactly as advertised....
Paddy, you need to clear out your PM's-I can't send you one, you've got too many stored!
