SchoTT "A-2" Question...???

[BigHairyFinn]

Over here Schotts and Avirexes and so on all seem to sell for in and around the same price as Aero / Eastman new. Seems expensive for a baggy, modern fit jacket to me, but they must have a fair market for them or they wouldn't keep selling at that price!

Well, if you look at the French makes, Redskins and such, they had a real "bombardier" craze in the 1990's. And the style was baggy then. Don't see that as much now, but all the leather stores sold back then (it seemed) was "top ***" jackets. And Schott and Avirex filled in the niche by claiming the "authentic American" - see now that is after all a "luxury imported product"
