Come on, guys. Give me a good reason for not buying one of these, other than the fact that the landed price in the UK will be at least £300. And it's made in England!!
:eeek::D;)
Just sorting through my denim, and I realised nearly all the jackets I've acquired over the last year have zips.
And I've been lucky enough to find originals, so haven't had to shell out for repros. As far as I know, none of these jackets were ever sold new in the UK back in the day.

Please forgive the poor pic, but a few folks have asked about my A2, so here is a bit of a close up.
In fact, a guy asked me, a couple of weeks ago, if it was an original WW2 jacket, which, considering I bought it brand new from Ken Calder just two months ago, is good going!

Just got this in my email today, for anyone pining for one of these:D;)

A few folks have suggested that Aero ought to produce an Aeromarine with some sort of handwarmer pockets.
Here's a quick knock up of what it might look like. I've used patch pockets, rather than inset - I just think it is more in keeping with the style. Other suggestions welcome:D;)

A lovely blanket lined Type 2 Levi Jacket. Made in the US from Japanese Denim.
Ken & I dug it out from the downstairs storeroom.
There really are lots of reasons for a trip to Galashiels:D
