I recently bought a damaged WW2 RCAF Deacon flight suit, the type my great-grandfather flew in, and decided to try and convert it into a jacket
Some of the ends are still exposed, but they've been treated to not continue fraying
The cropping is pretty high, to about battle dress length, but...
I special ordered the jacket from Shawn at Fivestar. It is their small size which equates to a 41-43 chest with ½ inch added to sleeves. Got the idea of tartan wool jacket body lining and cotton sleeve lining from an original WW2 relic.
Ordered it last December before tariffs and has hung in...

Some time ago, I was looking for a pattern for the detachable throat latch that was a feature of Navy overcoats before & during WWII (including the enlisted peacoat & officer’s bridge coat). These were needed to keep the fold-down collar in the upright position during windy, cold, and rainy...
Eastman Leather WWII Type A-2 Size 44 XL (Extra Long) - Monarch contract. Beautiful horsehide. Asking $849 OBO.
If you are looking up the Eastman Leather A-2 contract reproductions, the quality and value of these jackets goes without saying.
This is a well but gently worn and broken in Monarch...
This jacket is perfectly faded, perfect condition n-1 jacket with sun fading on back and arms. Believe it's late 1940s/early 1950s. Perfect mix of colors. Tag is hard to read but also has Conmar zipper. Let me know if anyone is interested!
I have a WWII A2 leather flight jacket named, “ E.J. Cichon”, below the tag is a 2nd Command Control patch in 5-inch diameter (cotton embroidered on felt). The jacket is in great condition for its age and the leather is still soft. The Talon zipper is in working order. Waistband, wool cuffs, and...
I have owned this for about 10 years, having bought it in the US. Fits me at 5’10 and 44” chest. I was hoping people here could tell me more about it as it seems to be a custom jacket, with green/gold quilted satin lining and, unusually, hand warmer pockets. Guessing these were sold via...
I'm looking for the most `period-correct' B-3 jacket that I can possibly find.
Reason: my grandfather flew a B-24 in the second World War out of Horsham St. Faith (458th Bomb Group, 755th Bomb Squadron) and was shot down over Boppard, Germany before being transferred to Stalag Luft 3. I'd like...

New member and never posted before. I have my dad's authentic Navy pea coat, size 40 that I wish to sell at this time; it's in near perfect condition. He served on the USS Coolbaugh from Mar 44 to Dec 45. How do I go about this on this site? I can take photos to post if you tell me how to...
Looking to trade my U.S. Authentic A2 bomber jacket in goatskin size 36 for an equivelant in size 40. Even though it is a size 36 it fits more like a 38. I'm usually a size 40 so this is just a little tight on me. Brand new, no blemishes to the leather, lining or wool cuffs. Pictures upon...
Hey everyone,
Was wondering if anyone had a pair of WWII Impressions Boondockers they wouldn't mind parting with. Looking for a size 8/8.5. Hell, I'll even take a 9, haha!
Cheers, lads.
