    Need advice on a Buzz Rickson B-2

    Need advice on buying a Buzz Rickson B-2. I've found one in Japan, but they don't allow for returns if it doesn't fit. I have a beautiful Bill Kelso Arco made to custom measurements (~36/38R). From what I can tell, the measurements of a Buzz Rickson 38R look spot-on for what one would expect of...

    2nd Bill Kelso A2 Arco 18775 (perfect, again!)

    Well, Bill Kelso has nailed it again. I loved my first custom Arco so much that I ordered a second. Don't roll your eyes; y'all know that glutinous feeling when it comes to bomber jackets. I couldn't help myself. After looking all over and trying multiple brands, I finally found the one that...

    Bill Kelso A2 Arco 18775 after 6 months (perfect!)

    Thanks, Grayland, but I can't promise that the search is over :) My next quest is to find a good B2 style bomber for colder temperatures. This forum, for better or worse, has caused me to wave-off of going through lost worlds.

    Bill Kelso A2 Arco 18775 after 6 months (perfect!)

    Thanks for all the comments/compliments everyone. @Sir Jacket: I ordered an Aero 38 during my quest (which I ultimately returned), and yes, the BK is heavier leather. I liked the Aero, but at that point, I had already decided to commit to a custom jacket, and found it easier to work with Andy...

    Bill Kelso A2 Arco 18775 after 6 months (perfect!)

    Greetings all, I wanted to share my observations on my Bill Kelso A2, an Arco 18775 now that I've had it for 6 months and have thoroughly broken it in. I absolutely love this jacket. My hiatus from this forum is wholly due to my satisfaction--my search is complete! I've been through A2's from...

    too funny!

    Another day, another Bill Kelso Dubow 1755

    Much obliged for the info. How does the leather smell? I have owned two quality HH A-2s--one that smelled wonderful--aromatic but not pungent (but unfortunately was too baggy for my tastes) and one that smelled somewhat putrid.

    Another day, another Bill Kelso Dubow 1755

    handguns--thank you for the BK Dubow jacket review. I think your jacket looks outstanding and I think your sleeves look fine. I'm in the market for a 38 myself (I'm same height/weight), so your review helps a lot. How do the armholes feel? What led you to choose the Dubow over the other...

    BK A-2. *w/pictures

    Nick--thank you for your thoughts! And thank you for the welcome. I'm very happy to have found this forum--y'all are definitely the experts; just glad to be here! Given all the threads I've read on this forum and the severity of my obsession with these jackets (I've owned two already), I've...

    BK A-2. *w/pictures

    Nick, thank you for the info on the BK jacket! Might I ask how it smells? I had a US Wings HH A-2 that smelled wonderful, and a US Authentic Mfg Co. HH A-2 that smells awful. Would appreciate your thoughts on aroma...
