Does anyone have one of these that they've owned for a while (or even purchased recently)? I am considering getting one and am interested to find out what hide variations, colours, etc. are possible (and if some details can be left off [back adjusters and pocket flaps]).

I have one of their 1920's Aviator jackets that I bought when visiting the shop in Vienna a few weeks ago. The impression I have is that this is a small business run by an enthusiast who really cares about the products they sell and produce. I don't think the jackets are made in the shop but elsewhere locally. My jacket is beautifully made from seal horse and the shop owner Fardin told me the leather comes from the same Italian tannery used by Eastman. The buttons were rather tight so I had Aero resew them for me but Whitefeather insisted on paying for it.
I'll take some photos of my jacket soon.

Never heard of him till today even though Spielberg obviously stole the idea of shooting a sniper through his own sight for Private Ryan.
Still a funny name for a company or do they make replica Marine Corps issue kit?
I was thinking more of "The Four Feathers"(White) a pre WWI adventure story by A. E. W. Mason

I've always wondered if it was a subtle mockery of the tedious macho macho attitudes of some who fetishise the world wars. Though in reality, and in their own way, a fair few of the guys given those white feathers were as brave as any in the trenches.
