Absolute dopest jacket of your collection. And it’s a beautiful collection, hands down.
Today trying this mockup jacket
neck hole is too big, and the pockets are too low sleeve pocket also need to slant and higher up and more to the side
Sleeve cuff hole a bit smaller, and the sleeve rotated 30 degree forward, button distance closer together lowest button right on the bottom corner of the pocket
Then went home feeling happy. Tomorrow i would pick some leather sample

Any one else think of Dirk Diggler from Boogie Nights when they see this?
Looks great. I can't imagine choosing an A-2 over a G-1. Been searching the bay a bit looking for a decent vintage one.

@Grayland, Thanks, The G-1 allows for a greater range of movement and is far more "comfortable" than my A-2. The mouton collar does limit when I consider wearing it though.. it gives it more of a cold weather look.
If you haven't already you should consider an Eastman.. I have had both a vintage G-1 and an Eastman ( neither fit me well & were sold on) the Eastman was just fantastic.. I look for a size 48 everyday...

Thank you. In checking out the measurement specs at HPA, it appears they fit TTS. I've often read that many people need to size up in the G-1. Do you take your normal size in the Eastman G-1?

Very nice ensemble. That jacket is a particularly good find; it's amazing how well the old JC Penney stuff holds up.

Grayland, The Eastman G-1 I had was a size 46, the measurements should have worked for me, but it was just a touch to small for me to comfortably wear.
I have never tried on a size 48 ( but that's as big as Eastman go)
**There is a size 46 for sale on the Eastman website in the Classified section, in a timeworn finish...(not mine)

I really need to up my photo game, especially looking back through recent posts on this thread.
But nevertheless, here; now the temperature has finally dropped a little, I'm bashing out the borg trucker -
e: soz! Those boots are my work steelies, before anyone gets to thinking they're interesting.

Thanks! I'm really happy with how much shorter the sleeves have gotten already.

Thanks! It definitely is. I had wanted a Freewheelers jacket for years. So happy with it

The name "duckdigger" has nothing to do with the golden age of porn but rather with the gold rush in california in the 1880's. At that time it was the name of a manufacturer of duck fabric which was derived from the gold diggers of the time.But you are right... sometimes when I wear this belt I feel like Dirk Diggler
