About This Jacket:
This Aero jacket is a copy of the WWII contract 15142, with the exception of 1938 pockets, which I
requested. The design looks accurate to WWII Aero jackets, and this one has a nice russet color. The leather is buffalo, and it has a nice
pebbling that's very similar to goatskin. The leather is thick, but soft enough that on placing it down, the jacket deflates to a flat state, while
other repros have oddly remained full figure as though someone were still in it. The jacket seems to fit like a size 46 would of vintage design.
The zipper is a #3 WWII Talon, with brass plated nickel for the puller. |
