Greetings. I recieved my G-8 in seal brown goatskin about 2 weeks ago, and have been wearing it daily. With being goatskin, it is durable, yet supply out of the box. It gets better the more you wear it. The hide is substantial, yet wears very nicely without having a heavy feel to it. The craftsmanship is top notch, and I would not hesitate to order again from the fine folks at US Authentic. (Posted on 11/26/12)

When I got this jacket, I was shocked. I wanted a jacket that was unique and had a rich history in aviation. Not only did it just look like art out of the box, but it was the best fitting jacket I have ever owned. I have owned other G-8's that fit too long or to lose in the chest. I can wear jeans, or slacks and a tie and look great. This is the only G-8 that fit so well, that I purchased two! I guess you can never have to much of a good thing. Thank you for the beautiful jacket. (Posted on 9/10/11)

Excellent workmanship! G-8 is much higher quality that I expected. When I was looking for reasonable price of USAF A- 2 flight jacket, I had a fateful encounter with G-8 which jacket design I have never seen before. I work in a US installation in Japan. Therefore, I have often seen A-2 and G-1 around installations. Then, I had dramatically changed my thought by G-8. I should order this leather jacket which jacket not so in common here. I have no regrets and I am totally happy with this purchase on my life. And on this occasion, I deeply appreciated U.S. Authentic staff had some good correspondence for my order. And Customer Reviews was very helpful to know G-8. Thank you very much! (Arigato!) (Posted on 5/19/11)

VERY NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the great job on my new G-8!
The sizing worked out very well and the one piece goatskin back is fabulous! I would have thought with such a huge size to find a seam there but I was delighted to see a single piece back. I am very pleased and am breaking it in as we speak thank goodness for this cool spell we are having here in Nor-Cal. gives me an opportunity to show off my jacket. Fantastic lining as well what a pleasure. Thank you. (Posted on 7/22/10)

Just wanted you to know that my vintage goatskin G8 (remember the one you were so kind to make roomier not too long ago?) has performed brilliantly on a two week trip to the English countryside. I literally lived in it the entire time...and given the constantly changing weather, I was the envy of my wife and grown kids, who were constantly taking off and putting on different clothing. I just wore the jacket zipped or open! It's really like an old friend, now. (Posted on 7/22/10)

I found the G-1 to be a wonderful jacket. In fact I liked it so much I had you make me a custom one in black goat skin. This is the best looking jacket I have ever owned and the one for which I have received the most compliments. I know authenticity is important to you, but you should offer the G-8 in black for it is beautiful and unique. (Posted on 7/22/10)

Just wanted to let you all know I just got my order. Its fantastic! Thanks so much for having it in a size 36. Bike, plane, car or horseback, or happy hour, I will have the classic "mother of all flight jackets", and certainly the only of its type in my circle (for now anyway). Thanks again, thats two great jackets you guys have sold me. Can't wait to wear it. Loyal customer. (Posted on 7/22/10)

The jacket already arrived and I must say: it is great! I am very enthusiastic about it. So thanks for the great service and if ever I want something like it, I'll buy it from you. (Posted on 7/22/10)

I've owned my G-8 for over a year now and I love it. The leather is incredibly supple and with the Thinsulate lining, I can wear it even in the coldest weather. It fits great and looks great. I'm looking forward to long years of use. (Posted on 7/22/10)
