Does anyone know where I can buy a near-as-dammit genuine thick leather/sheepskin jacket? I'd like it to be as authentic in styling as possible.

There are loads of online shops and stores selling what they *think* to be aviator-style jackets, but they're not what I'm after.

Imagine WW2 Spitfire/Lancaster pilots, or even Memphis Belle type jackets - those are what I'm looking for.

Thanks in advance

Whatever you do, don't order from this crowd:

If you've an hour of your life to waste, read the following:

Which makes it all the more comical that the banner at the top of the current home page says, "Pilot Shop Update w/c 30 Dec- Stock-taking. Please leave a message if your call is unanswered. 30 Dec- 01 Jan: Please allow extra time for order shipment | Live Chat Support now online for longer! | Order Online 24/7 | Celebrating 5 Years- 2008-2013"

It's the Keighley cars of the aviation world.

As said above Eastman is good, but I prefer Aeroleather as the quality is just as good, but a bit cheaper. They both make authentic jackets to the exact specs of the original contract, both American and British.
I bought a A2 from Aeroleather last year.

I saw some cracking ones for sale at a wool merchant in Ambleside in the lakes before Christmas.
