The band-collared 60's style racing jackets are tops in my book. Even spiffier with a Norton or BSA logo on them.

I have three leather jackets
One that looks similar to This one, but mine has 2 white stripes down each sleeve, and doesn't have zippers on the cuffs. My favorite at the moment, and very comfortable. The other two are like this biker jacket, but one is falling apart, the other is worn out as well. ------------------------------ Flying online as "johnnybassman" "Audentes fortuna juvat" Studio album coming soon! http://www.myspace.com/friendorfoe |

I wear a brown leather jacket similar to an A2 or Indy's. Really comfortable, and looks pretty cool

I have a black one of these:
 A completely authentic reproduction of Hartmann's jacket from Eastman Leather (who did the flight jackets for Pearl Harbour). I have to say that i wouldn't normally spend (or have the money to spend) that much on an item of clothing but this was worth every penny - my pride & joy! If my house was on fire, i'd get my daughter out first (of course) then go back for my Hartmann!

i have an identical one to that, i paid 100 pound in london portobello market in 98, still seems brand new
i love so much the jacket, like all clothes should be, to last a life time  |

I'd love to own an Eastman jacket, particularly that one. I've had an A-2 jacket on my "wish list" for years. ------------------------------ Flying online as "johnnybassman" "Audentes fortuna juvat" Studio album coming soon! http://www.myspace.com/friendorfoe |

I still have an A-2 on my "wish list" - they are simply beautiful. I especially love the 352nd FG A-2 But i think i've made all the expensive one-off purchases i can make, for a long time!

Agreed on the 352nd FG A-2. But, for the cost of most of these jackets, I've got other things on my list that I need to pickup first: new PC, new Bass Guitar, new amp and speaker cab, new TV, new car........  ------------------------------ Flying online as "johnnybassman" "Audentes fortuna juvat" Studio album coming soon! http://www.myspace.com/friendorfoe |

I wonder if the 'Silent Hunter' crowd lust after grubby white vests and oilskin trousers?

A friend of mine bought some old DDR surplus, and I got hold of an u-boat jacket. It's heavy as hell and in grey leather. I've used it for years, and the brown cow beneath is starting to show, but it's still my winter jacket. It looks a bit like this (only I'm a bit more pudgy, and don't wear a boatsman's cap, landlubber that I am):
