    WESTED LEATHER A-2

    In all fairness to Wested Leather I have to post this reply that they sent me: Hi Jeff, I am sorry about that you are not happy with the jacket. It would appear from your description that we have sent an A2B instead of the A2 which is another another jacket we make which is has a much...

    Wested A-2 Update

    You just might be right about that! But, there were no pockets on the sleeve on the one they sent me as mentioned at the accompanying site: http://www.ekmpowershop4.com/ekmps/shops/westedcom/index.asp?function=DISPLAYPRODUCT&productid=1

    I agree. I'm not doing anymore "gambling". I've already lost too much.

    WESTED LEATHER A-2

    So, Cockpits aren't very good either? Thanks! I was considering going that way as well. Guess I'll keep saving up until I can get a good one. I'm just so apprehensive about buying overseas again. I might find a good jacket but, if I don't get the proper fit it will cost me. Sending back that...

    WESTED LEATHER A-2

    Is anyone familiar with this outfit? http://www.barnstormerleathers.com/servlet/Detail?category=Open+Roadster+Jackets&no=661 It looks like the jacket shown at U.S. Authentic (Flightjacket.com) but the price appears to be somewhat lower (no addirional charge for the horsehide).

    WESTED LEATHER A-2

    I have noted that a few have wondered about the WESTED LEATHER Memphis Belle A-2 Flight Jacket. Many have raved about their Indy Jacket but no one could really say, first hand, what their Memphis Belle A-2 was actually like. Well, I'd like to put and end to the speculation. Against the advise of...

    wested A2

    WESTED A-2 I know this discussion is probably over but I just had to reply anyway. I ordered and received a WESTED A-2. Let me start by saying, as a leather jacket, it's beautiful. The craftsmanship and the quality of the leather is great. BUT IT IS NOT AN "AUTHENTIC A-2" as advertised nor is...

    Wested Memphis Belle A2

    You had me re-visit the movie once again. The jackets are cut relatively roomy for the era. And, it does appear as though the pilot's jacket lacks a throathook. However, if you look at the scene just after take off when they almost rear end one of their fellow bombers, you'll notice that the...

    Wested Memphis Belle A2

    Can't get in. I registered for the VLJ site 2 times now and still haven't been able to gain access. Any suggestions? I'm not too much bigger (perhaps went from the size 42 to a 44. I'm close to 60 years old now and, I guess to some extent, that's to be expected. The fact that I usually wear a...

    Wested Memphis Belle A2

    THANKS! All of you have been a wealth of knowledge and I truely appreciate it! All I initially wanted to do was aquire a nice A2 and now I may have become a fanatic. I do own an Avirex 440 (G8) that I aquired from their outlet store in LIC N.Y. back in the late 70's or early 80's when I lived...

    Wested Memphis Belle A2

    Have any seen this A2 site? I was hunting around and came accross this site of interest on A2's. You guys are already very knowledgeable but, as the Proverb says: . . .A wise person will listen and take in more instruction. . .(Proverbs 1:5) So, I know you'll want to check it out...

    Wested Memphis Belle A2

    Very much appreciated! QUOTE=Kt Templar]The A-2 they canl do do for you will be well made, reasonably priced and made from horsehide and made to measure. But you have many other makers to choose from so do your research and take your time. Aero do a steaehide for just under $300. and there...

    Wested Memphis Belle A2

    Thanks again! My own recommendation for a reasonably inexpensive and reasonably accurate A-2 jacket are the ones from US Authentic (flightjacket.com). Or, at a step up from them in price, Flight Suits/Gibson & Barnes. Again, this has been discussed a lot - scan past threads and judge for...

    Wested Memphis Belle A2

    Thanks! You guys are really on the ball! I didn't expect so many replys in so short a time! That "roomy" cut may be just what I need with my constantly growing girth. Wested does say they use horsehide and I'm not looking for any patches etc. But theuy don't tell you anything else at their...

    Wested Memphis Belle A2

    Hello. I'm brand new here but I really appreciate all I've learned from you guys about A2 flight jackets! Can anyone provide any info on the Wested Leather Memphis Belle A2. They say that they were responsible for the ones in the movie "The Memphis Belle". I pulled out my old VHS and tried my...
