    Looks nice. Great fit. Is it artificially aged?

    Thanks for the information!
    Is it a more loose or a tight cut / fit?

    And - just for comparing - what tag-size is your Aero A-2 ?

    Thanks and kind regards,

    Johannes

    Nice jacket! It looks like a perfect fit; the sleeve length is dead-on.

    Thanks for the pics. And, that is a great score.

    There's an original Californian available on ebay now for those who want to make a quick comparison, although the asking price might be a bit high: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage1940s...item3cc0894157 and Cole, you definitely did well - great price and great fitting jacket!

    Hello!

    I am really interested in purchasing a Bruno Halfbelt from the Filmjackets Com. Store, but I am havering for several reasons, mainly because I don't want to support a leather industry that doesn't take care of both environmental problems and the workers' health.

    I don't want to save money at the expense of a country's environment and the tanneries-workers' health. So in favor of these aspects I'd prefer buying from suppliers that get their stuff from producers that underlie strict constraints concerning environment and the employees' health.

    Just to keep a a clear conscience I'll wait till I can buy another jacket from Aero or Good Wear being convinced they get the hides from tanneries that care about environmental safeties.

    For those who want to get more informations with kind regards,

    Johannes

    He's been trying to sell that for a long time. In poor condition, really. Prefer the Bruno.
