    LL Bean "A-2"

    Hope there's room in the lounge for something a bit different. My latest ebay find... an older LL Bean A-2 style jacket. At this point, the thread counters should navigate away from this page and measure the width of their epaulets with a micrometer... OK, those of you who are left might know...

    Schott 689H Reboot

    Hey all, if you recall I have a 689 cafe w/ the dress collar in horse. One of my favorites and not a whole lot of money. Two things, however, always bugged me... 1. Too warm. Torso is lined with very warm quilted felt-like material. Too hot for riding weather and made the garmet feel bulky...

    LL Bean Signature

    This sub-brand reminds me of Penny's American Living, i.e. vintage looking modern clothes for not alot of $$$. Some of the items come from Bean's older catalogs - like the field jacket ('47) and plaid stag ('65). The canvas reminds me of the Barracuta G-9 but at half the price. Might pick...

    White Cafe Racer

    If you recall, a few months ago I commissioned a custom white cafe racer style jacket with full perforations. You guessed it, it finally came. I'm really pleased with the fit but still need to adjust the position of the armor. Seams along the outer arms are triple stitched. Just about...

    Interesting Luftwaffe Style Jacket

    This is interesting... a Luftwaffe inspired leather motorcycle jacket with CE armor. Only 200 bucks. I'm always on the look out for good moto apparel that also have a vintage look to them. I've no doubt it's chock full of inaccuracies... but I'm still intrigued by the price and the CE bits...

    Cockpit USA A-2 - After Break-In

    This jacket seems to fit better as it ages. If you recall, I reviewed this when it was brand new in another thread. Been wearing it almost every day to work. Poured hot tap water over the sleeves at one point to get them to pull up a tad. I like the fit better this way. This is the 1987...

    Ultimate Summer Cafe Racer

    I'm on a quest to build the perfect summer riding jacket. I have multiple, actually too many, leather jackets. All of these get quite hot in the summer sun. My requirements for the perfect hot weather jacket are that it be white to reflect thermal energy and fully perforated with integrated body...

    Vanson A-2 Style Jacket

    What do you guys think? I'm hardly an expert but even my eyes can pick up some not so accurate details. Still, for 429 bucks, I would give this a shot if Vanson would adjust the pattern or build one to my spec's. I also asked if HH costs extra and whether they could slim down the sleeves...

    Made in China - Monarch A-2 repros

    What do you guys thing about these? Anyone try one. Thinking about pulling the trigger just to see. Worst case scenario I just return and eat the shipping or resell on the bay. I know, I know, it's made in China. But hey, my bonneville was made in Thailand and just about all consumer...

    Cockpit A-2 Goat

    OK, if you've been following along you probably know this is my second Cockpit A-2. The first in sz 42 HH was just too big for me. I think this one fits better. It's a 40R which goes to show that Cockpit's jackets may run a bit large cuz I almost exclusively wear sz 42 jackets. The goatskin...

    Cockpit USA A-2 HH

    Yesterday miss caveman and I paid a visit to Cockpit's singular NoHo retail store (see last pic). Customer service was great and the store itself was pretty cool. There's a front section of a vintage aircraft just behind the front doors. While there I picked up their WWII repro in HH. Perhaps...

    Yet Another US Authentic Jacket

    Hello Loungers... I ordered a size 42R from US-A in goat. The jacket itself is superb. Very soft, pliable goatskin and it seems to have all the period-correct details as far as my eyes can tell. My problem is with the fit. It just seems too blousy for my build. I think the pics tell the story...

    Vintage Biker Photos

    Schott J630 - Just like Belstaff Panther - 42 / Large

    Happy Bidding. It's marked Large and fits like a 42. It's very similiar to the waxed cotton trials jackets made popular by Belstaff and Barbour in the 50's and 60's except it's made of leather. Brand new without tags. I have too many darn jackets. Good luck...

    LL Bean Flight Jacket

    Here's my recently purchased LL Bean flight inspired jacket. Perhaps it's not everyone's cup of tea. I've heard good things about Bean's goatskin jackets from other loungers and they are all over the bay for a fraction of a repro flight jacket. I present it here for other loungers who might be...
