    Propper CWU 36p

    Picked one up used at an estate sale. Looks to be unused. Can’t find any info on this particular jacket online. I can find info about propper just not this jacket. Also is there a way to get the wrinkles out of it or should I just have it dry cleaned and hope that takes care of it.

    Schott vs older LL bean flight jacket

    I’ve been looking to buy another jacket. There is one of each of these for sale in my area. The LL Bean is their older A2 style American made with the one piece back and the Schott is their take on the G2 Raider. I own an LL bean jacket from this era so know they’re a pretty decent jacket. I...

    Will old leather stretch

    I purchased a leather jacket from the late 70s early 80s from an online auction site. The size on the jacket should be a perfect fit if not a little large. I can fit into it but it looks like I’ve been poured into it. I know newer leather jackets will stretch as you wear them but how about older...

    Bean flight jacket length

    I’ve been looking for a size 46 or 48 bean one piece back made in USA flight jacket. All of them I’ve found so far have been tagged long or tall. Can someone tell me how much longer they would be compared to the regular length so I can compare it to some of my other jackets. Thank you in advance.

    Two recent purchases

    Top three pictures are of a Ll bean A2 I picked up last week. Last two are of a blue label Cooper G1 I picked up a couple of weeks ago. I think I did okay have less than a full tank of gas in each jacket. Nothing like looking at pictures of yourself to realize you need to lose weight.

    Ll bean flight jacket size ?

    I am looking at an older one that is missing its size tag. The owner sent me an armpit to armpit measurement of 22”. Since that is an measurement made on the outside can the jacket be considered a size 44. Most of my jackets I measured come up 23”-24” and are labeled large. I measured my chest...

    Split S G1 questions

    I’ve always like the G1 flight jacket. Found a Split S brand for sale on my price range. Can anyone enlighten me as to the quality of their jackets? One thing that worries me is it’s listed as a large, I thought better quality jackets would be sized numerically. I looked on line and there isn’t...

    Identify flight jacket

    Someone has this listed as a LLBean A2 for sale. There isn’t a visible label to confirm this. Plus he has it listed as a large made in USA, not sure how he knows this without a tag. I thought the jackets with the one piece back were sized by actual chest size not s,m,l. Trying to decide if it’s...
