Leather/Sheepskin Aviator jacket - Where to buy?
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 |

Advertised in back of classier classic car mags quite often

Whatever you do, don't order from this crowd:
http://proviationshop.co.uk/shop/pag...FH&shop_param= If you've an hour of your life to waste, read the following: http://www.pprune.org/private-flying...-problems.html 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. |

Look at Eastmanleather.com had an American A2 jacket off them really good quality
|
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. http://www.aeroleatherclothing.com/p...ilitaryjackets |
I saw some cracking ones for sale at a wool merchant in Ambleside in the lakes before Christmas.

Thanks all ..... good links... appreciated.
