    Who makes a good Car Coat?

    Kind of depends on what kind of car are you driving. I use a G-1 in my convertible, really nice with that fur collar turned up if it gets too cool. When the weather is cool the G-1 is great for any of my cars. I have a coupla cotton vests to use in really warm weather. Ciao, SPAD

    Cooper, US Wings, & Protocol

    Who knows what weird law The Peoples Republik of Kalifornia has passed, you probably have to have a certificate of authentivity that the goat was on his or her deathbed and had not been abused or subject to unusal treatment before it's demise. H/H probaly is in another catagory. Do not mention...

    The A-2 review

    Shaul Dover does have an accent, if he was from Israel I would expect it, in fact if he was New York I would expect it. In my opinion he sure makes a nice jacket. I have a goatskin from US Authentic that is breaking in very nicely, and I don't know the difference of 10 stiches to an inch or 40...

    Goatskin vs horsehide

    I have 3 goat A-2's and one is pretty heavy, a Cooper. My others are a little lighter, US Authentic and Pro-tech. The Pro-Tech A-2 is almost 20 years old and still looks great, has developed a nice patina. The USAuth is really supple and very comfortable. I have had a coupla HH, but they don't...

    New Us Authentic Goatskin

    Rainguy, that's the jacket alright, nice looking. The Toby Mug was a present from a flying nut friend of mine, who has a registered one and had talked to the fellow who was making the recreations and his search for the original. He called me and said"do you want one". He knew tha answer would...

    New Us Authentic Goatskin

    Jacketquest, Not being an expert on leather weight or leather. The following comparison may be beneficial. Compared to a Cooper A-2 the goat is a tad lighter, hardly discernable, the USAuth is more supple. The color is lighter brown then the Cooper. Another thing, the stiching seems better on...

    Art work on US Authentic A-2

    Sharpetoys, mailed the jacket on the 8th of Jan. and had it back on 20 Jan. That was only 12 days and that included the shipping time.

    Art work on US Authentic A-2

    I shipped my A-2 to Jerri Bergen at Victory-Girl.com at an airport in southern California. We had talked on the phone and did some E-mailing.

    Ever heard of the Major Jim Goodson Limited Edition A-2 ?

    Goodson jacket I have one of the goatskin Goodson jackets that I got out of the PX catalog in the late 80's. This is not the same one that is being advertised as a Goodson replica. The Goodson Replica they show now looks like the A-2 jacket made by Excelled Leather, which is not very good. The...

    Major Danger, I have a cat just like in your picture, only he is 20 pounds. When that jacket comes I'll try and post a picture. Depends how light the seal brown is, hope it isn't dark like a Cooper. I sent back my Cockpit HH, the color was nice but the fit wasn't right. To get the shoulders...
