The flight jackets on both of those sites are ok. If you really want to see some top quality reproduction flight jackets, check out Eastman, Aero or Real McCoys. They're more expensive, but so much better quality.

Anyone know where someone can get an old military "issue" flight jacket repaired????

Zipper has had it and the cuffs are worn to a frazzle. The fur on the neck could use cleaning too.

Wrag, yes I do. I collect flight jackets and I know of a few places that have parts and will repair your jacket. What type and era jacket do you have?

USN/USMC type. VietNam era issue. Leather with an, I think it's fur, fur trim collar.

Zipper looks to be brass. Cuffs are stretchy kinda knit fabric. With a band of the same knit stretchy stuff around the bottom.

Lining is kinda like silk, or satin I think.

I used to hear reports of really bad work in these so i'm concerned. Would rather leave it as it is then have it f--d up.

When I got out, no one to take it back, so I kept it.

Wrag,
I'll send you a private email with my home email address. Send me a message and I'll get you the info on flight jackets.
