5.0 out of 5 stars Great jacket for the price, December 12, 2007

My G1 flight jacket arrived today. A great jacket, well made, for the price. I was a flight crew member in the Navy from 1962-1966, in a S3 carrier based A.S.W. aircraft. I had to turn my jacket in when I left the squadron, and always wanted my own to keep, but prohibitive prices kept me from purchasing one. This jacket is priced lower than used ones on E/Bay, and is very good quality in grade of leather, and construction. I wonder how much better the $300.00 to $500.00+ jackets could be, as this jacket is all I expected, and more.

If you're hesitant about ordering this bomber jacket, don't be, unless of course you're willing to fork out hundreds upon hundreds of dollars for bomber jackets the military actually uses. I for one wasn't and reaped the nice savings for other things accordingly (can you say big barbecue grill). I did all the mind-numbing comparisons already and believe me, for the money this jacket is an excellent deal: the stitching is tight, the leather is supple, and you'll notice the quality in it's construction as soon as you start wearing the jacket. The brown exactly resembles dark chocolate, so much so, lots of times it appears black in certain lighting conditions, which I personally love. It doesn't look or feel cheap for those of you concerned, like I was, and it's got that nice leather sound and smell indicative of good leather jackets, too. My jackets actually getting nicer the more I wear it. Luxury Lane also is top notch and I received my jacket in only four days by standard shipping, which unbelievably they paid for 2-day to expedite my order, although it was the holidays, so your experience may vary. When I received my jacket I carefully snipped off the inside tag because it said Made in China (not so patriotic, yes I am a bit ashamed) and caressed some mink oil on to waterproof and condition the leather to insure decades of use. Just make doubly sure you order your correct size for the best fit; the company website has a handy size recommendation chart you can review if your not sure, which I recommend you do because I thought I needed a large-large and really needed a medium x-large - go figure. Anyway, if you really want cool retro patches on your jacket too, there's plenty of sites on the internet that sell gorgeous ones to pick and choose from, which you can help buy with the money you save. Do yourself a favor and order yourself the jacket if you just want a well-made, rich feeling leather jacket to look sharp in. Remember, you can always send it back if you don`t like it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Coat!, January 12, 2008

I was very pleasantly surprised at the quality of this coat. I paid about the same price for this coat as I did for my previous one, which finally had to be replaced after 20 years! When I put on this coat, I immediately asked myself why I had waited so long to replace my old one. It is a lot more comfortable and warmer, too. I cannot imagine being happier, without paying a WHOLE LOT MORE!
