A-1 Jacket / A1 Flying Jacket - The ultimate Golden Era flying accessory!
Good day to all, a couple of days ago I have acquired an AERO A-1 from a very friendly Ebayer, for a reasonable and fair price. It is a size 44 and he noted the arm length at 24 inches. This and a little tight fit was his reason for selling. I have received the jacket with some subdued...- Biggles88a

New Pike Bros N-1 Deck Jacket
Hello Dr H, thank you very much for the very descriptive reply. Actually I will now go for the same size as yours, although I may opt for the regular N-1 because I have a lot of respect for the alpaca lining and its wearing comfort (maybe itchy, as in the B-10). But I do have a plan. Again...- Biggles88a

May I ask a question? Happy new year to all! I know this thread was started because of ButteMT61's PIKE BROS N-1, but I would like to take this opportunity to ask a question about a BUZZ RICKSON N-1, a sizing matter. Would anyone have an experience with those jackets? I am usually a size 44...- Biggles88a

Gibson&Barnes size caution and G-1 size talk Hello all, I have started buying G&B G-1 jackets in the early nineties when they were still called FLIGHTSUITS LTD.

For trade: EASTMAN A-2s (3), give size 46, would like size 44
Hi Corky, I read up on PMs, I still have 8 posts to go to be able to do this. But generally I would look for A-2s to trade as I have all cold weather gear for Germany, and going back to SD... well, you know SOCAL... light jackets max, if any. Thanks, though, for the offer. Have a great time out...- Biggles88a

For trade: EASTMAN A-2s (3), give size 46, would like size 44
Hi Bob, thanks for the suggestion and your interest. Right now I would like to stick to the trading idea, one reason being that it would be helpful to have an EASTMAN owner who already knows how the jacket fits on his torso but feels he needs some more room. I personally am very cautious about...- Biggles88a
