$875 if you act quickly. And another 20% off if you send in your email and make your first purchase. Still, my heart had a brief run of tachycardia when I saw the price. :eek: My eyebrows may have levitated off my forehead for a moment, as well.

I've had jackets from Vanson, Dainese, and a couple from Ducati (probably Dainese). But none of those came close to the price of admission as that Moto jacket from Taylor Stitch. I think I originally saw the ad in 000 magazine.

I still have a NATO flying jacket from the 1980s, the grey goatskin with orange lining and knitted collar and cuffs.

I have one of these in XL. The company Avirex was local, in Long Island City, but their target buyer has changed. Very roomy and warm.

I like this one but is it a style or a brand? "US Army issue leather jacket"

sc_rufctr 11-17-2020 06:34 AM

It's the actual "US Army issue leather jacket". Made in the USA for your Army.

Not sure were you'd get one... Maybe try an Army Surplus store.

Available here.

The US Wings site above has a wide selection of different leather jackets, and made in USA to boot.

Thanks!

Vash, What size?

I have two. I want to keep the original issue but don't need the second one I was issued.

No patches.

Here is the style. If the collar is an issue I'm good to go.

Bob, I meant Vash!

But if he doesn't want it, it is yours!

To Vash and Bob: The second jacket is a 48 but remember, you'll wear it over stuff and I think they size small. It was my "Program Management" leather jacket: We were authorized to wear the leather jacket with our khakis and it is in good shape, nicely worn.

My fleet jacket stays with me - it has been everywhere with me is has the patina that shows just that!

vash 11-17-2020 11:27 AM

to big for me, SEAHAWK!! but thanks.

i kinda picture my leather jacket without those cloth wrist cuffs. :) i hope it fits BOB!!

No worries. That is the Navy version, collars and cuffs.

Bob, I think is may be too small for you.

Let me know

osidak 11-17-2020 01:58 PM

I am no one on the list but hey I have been around a while.... It will fit me if Bob doesn't want it

vash 11-17-2020 04:51 PM

IMO One of the coolest "Movie" Jackets of all time.

Search: "Tom Cruise War of the Worlds jacket"

Yes, I had a Jacket like that, Black though...like the slash pockets... really dislike the "sewn -on" pockets of the military style jackets..

For some reason the Jacket I loved shrank every year...until it didn't fit.. so I donated it


Funny though I've lost a number of pounds and sizes the last few years..and could possibly fit into that old comfy Jacket

TimT 11-17-2020 05:54 PM

BTW where is the Jacket you pictured from?
