It seems the only options at this price range are Avi (does not look as authentic), vintage (but incredibly hard to find a genuine goat/cape skin model in decent shape at this price), or five star. Am I missing anything or for around the $300 is five star the best A-1 you can get?

Thank you man. That was insightful

Okay so you’d recommend I look into jackets in the 60s and beyond? Should I compromise on the leather or collar ? Meaning maybe goatskin but not get the fur mouton collar?

Thank you Thank you very much , that jacket is gorgeous. So basically look for goat skin and mouton fur at the minimum. Then obvious stuff like minimal wear, intact knit etc

I see. That’s a shame. Historically I thought cowhide was more durable than goat ? Perhaps not as nicely finished or soft though

Thank you. I’m just curious not that it will make me less likely to desire a later jacket, but why are layer jackets less desirable?

Thank you. I did not even notice the zipper pull or collar. Hopefully with experience. I am new. Is there anything I should look out for specifically on eBay to get a better find? Any brands?

Thanks. Is it less desirable because it’s not a military jacket just a repro?

Thank you guys , the only hesitation with the avirex is it doesn’t seem to be genuine Us military , rather a civilian model

What do you think of this one? https://www.ebay.com/itm/405490606046?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=-Wg3sVh_RtS&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=HO5bPPJ6QF-&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Thanks man. Is eBay the main place you look?

Thanks. Did you mean can’t go wrong ?

Thank you very much. What about this jacket? Seems well made in US. I think I am beginning to understand that if possible, I prefer vintage. It does not have to be 1940 but just anything preowned ideally military. But I am open to a repro as well especially if it’s higher quality than its...
