Repair by Stuart Feldman I received my jacket back today, only seven days from when I mailed it to you for re-lining and cuff/waistband replacement. Thank you for your quick and courteous service. Custom A2 by John Studt, USMC Just a brief note to add to the compliments from other owners of your jackets. My A-2 horsehide is great. Authenticity aside, though, your greatest attribute is simple customer service which you provide. You listened to any and all of my comments, and incorporated them into my jacket. Hope you never lose this quality in listening, as your company grows. A2 with patches by GIOVANNI BORTOLOTTI, Italy ALWAYS BETTER!! I received your A-2 Doolittle jacket and it's WONDERFUL! Thank you very much. The next time I'm gonna order a B-3 model. God bless U.S.A. Combo A2-G1 by Joe Giardina I received my custom A-2 leather jacket a couple of days ago and I just wanted to let you know how pleased I am with it. The fit is perfect and it has all the features I have been looking for in a leather flight jacket for years. I'm glad I went with the lightweight lambskin version and the Bemberg lining. The combination of A-2 and G-1 make for a unique jacket. Thanks again for the top notch craftsmanship and service. Repair by Timothy Brosnan I recently sent an A-2 to you for a zipper repair. I had explained that the zipper action seemed flawed. It was a pleasant surprise to find the skillfully repaired jacket between my front door a scant week or so after posting it to you. Your repair and customer service operations are unmatched. It is a too rare pleasure to interact with a company that cares about and stands behind their product. Thank you again. Best wishes for the coming year. Repair by Ellen Choate I got the jacket about the 17th. I opened it and thought you had mistakenly sent me a new jacket until I saw the mark in the lower front. You did an outstanding job on the repair and I thank you very much. My husband will be so pleased. I can't wait till he sees it! Repair by George Minze Thanks for the fast service on my US Auth. G1. I really like the leather collar that you put on my G1. The service was fast and shipping even faster. Work was well-done and first rate. Sorry it took me so long to say thanks, but we are getting ready for spring Break here at school and I have been busy. I will order a G8 from you as soon as I sell my Lost Worlds Raider (G8) it’s a great jacket but sleeves to long and waist just a little big. I’m sure I will have no problem on E-Bay when I get time. Thanks again George Minze A2 custom by Peter Norris Gt. Glemham UK My A2 jacket arrived home today. May I congratulate you on the quality of the product, it is absolutely marvellous and it fitted perfectly. The only thing that takes the edge off slightly for non US purchasers is the cost of UPS. You may look into another carrier who takes a bit longer, but is cheaper? As promised I will send you an interesting story about an A2 from the 390th BG Parham Airfield Museum just down the road after the weekend. Thanks again for your commercial honesty. Custom G1 by Greg Alvarez Wanted to drop a line about my new custom G-1 I received in Dec, 01. Awesome is about the only word I can use to describe this jacket. I ordered the G-1 with some custom features (no perf on the windflap, cotton lining, etc)and they were done perfectly. The only problem was it was too small. I sent it back and with some telephone negotiations with Mr. Dover, a larger size was shipped. The fit and finish on this jacket is incredible. I looked at other jackets on the market and have to say that US Authentic is the way to go. Customer service is top notch. I have worn this jacket about every day since I've gotten it. I just wish it was colder in Texas to justify a B-3. Thanks again! Custom INDY Jacket by John Wolf Having been in the leather biz, for 30 years, both wholesale, and retail, and manufacturing, high end leather products, using every method, from hand stitching with an awl, braiding, lacing, and sewing, using Bonis fur machines, and landis shoe machines, as well as walking foot machines, I guess, that I'm qualified to give an informed opinion, as to the quality, both in the leather, and end product. My new horsehide "INDY" jacket, is superb. Thank you Dover!! Custom ANJ-3 By S. W. I just wanted to thank you for all your help. I received my "ANJ-3"jacket yesterday and it looks great and fits really well. The quality of the finished product is clearly evident. I appreciate your help and rapid service. I asked for quite a number of custom options on this jacket and they were all done perfectly. I also am quite pleased with how quickly you were able to get my jacket to me. Given the custom nature of my order I would have expected a long wait. (Remember I have been dealing with E****** up until now) I'll be back in touch for squadron patches and eventually for the B-3's we talked about. Since it was raining today I couldn't try out my new jacket in the cockpit ,however if the weather holds for the weekend I sure will give it a try. I think this will become my every day jacket. I will be sure to tell my friends ( and anyone else who will listen ) about you, your quality products and your super service. G-1 Custom & A-2 By William K. Sherman I was in the USAF and Love Leather Flight Jackets. I Love none better than the Two I recently purchased from US AUTHENTIC. I saw a picture of your A-2 Jacket and had to Order One. I was so impressed when I received it I had to have you make me a Custom G-1 which I just received today. Needless to say I was Not Disappointed. My Special Requests were done to Perfection. I couldn't be more Pleased. Thank You for Your Attention to Detail, the quality in Workmanship, Material and Fast Delivery cannot be matched. I Shall Return. G-1 Custom by Brian "Barney" Claisse, UK thank you for the custom G-1 I received in UK last week only 10 days after my telephone order. The quality is really impressive and the fit perfect. I am over the moon with the garment and your service. One small problem was that both pocket buttons came loose and fell off within 2 days so you have to sort out the thread/machinist that attached them. Otherwise I'll be back before Xmas to order an A-2 as there isn't a product in UK to touch yours, Eastman included, and I've looked at their stuff. You need to get an outlet over here at some of the air shows or advertise in some of our mags. You would make a killing with the pilot or classic car set with your products. Many thanks again and much success for the future. G-8 Custom by Anton Revenaugh VERY
NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the great job on my new G-8! Custom MJ-3 by Robert Kirkby Just a short note to say my jacket finally arrived back in Australia. It actually was delivered by my friend's son to his father last week, but we only caught up today so I could collect the jacket. Looking at the jacket straight out of the plastic wrapping, it is everything I expected. The fit is perfect. I am sure that with time the jacket will "wear in" beautifully as the leather softens up. Leather being a natural product should be cared for. Do you have any recommendations in this regard? (P.N. No need for any care, if its get dirty just wipe it off with damp cloth. Defiantly do not apply any chemicals or cleaning products). The weather down here is warming up as we near the middle of spring and summer approaches, but the nights are still mild and I am sure there will still be be the opportunity to wear the jacket before it gets too hot. I am grateful for your assistance in helping me make the right choice in the jacket. Omitting the mouton collar was the way to go. I will not hesitate to recommend US Authentic and its products. As I indicated previously I am also interested in purchasing from you some patches for my son, who is very keen on anything to do with airplanes, (particularly F 14's) and a model for my own desk will not go astray. I will be back in touch. Once again many thanks for all your help. Kind Regards Custom M-444 by Bob Stewart I am a 6'3", 295 lb. , 48yr. male I have always wanted a leather bomber jacket ,but could never find one in my size, While I was surfing the web, I came across U.S. Authentic web site and decided to call. I spoke to there customer support and told them of my concern for proper fit. I mention that I had never in my adult life been able to buy a suit off the rack. I was assured that there would be no problem, and they will custom make my bomber. I followed the sites directions and sent him my measurements. A week later my M444 arrived in the mail. I opened the box and saw the finest quality jacket I have ever seen , I tried it on right away and found that the coat needed some adjustments. I picked up the phone and called U S Authentic. I told them what needed to be done . he said no problem, send it back and they would take care of it. A week later I got my M444 Back and it was perfect. I could not be happier. I cannot say enough about the professionalism and high degree of personal service that was accorded to me. If there is any person thinking about ordering a jacket and is worried about getting the run a round do not worry U.S. Authentic is the REAL DEAL!!!!!! Custom Indy Jacket By Rob Koch I can't say enough about how happy I am with the Indy jacket you guys made for me. I've spent 17 years looking for my jacket styled like this. I wish I could have found you guys sooner. My biggest Problem is I'm a tall and have very long arms. You guys certainly fixed that problem. To anyone reading this I highly RECOMMEND the people at U.S. Authentic. On a lark I was looking on the Internet for Jackets and found their site. There they had the exact jacket I was looking for. Well, being tall I wanted a Jacket that would fit all around to my specs as opposed to having one that just fit the arms but was baggy everywhere else or way to long in the length. Anyone like me with and odd size or need for a custom fit should definitely go through them. Follow the instructions for measurements on the site and you'll do just fine. If you've questions, call them up, they are extremely helpful to make sure you get what you want. I was lucky enough to actually live 15 miles from their shop. I was able to stop by and confer with them and see what I was getting as a custom cut jacket. It was the best money I spent on piece of clothing. The jacket fit's like a glove and is very well made. That and the turnaround was the best I've ever seen on anything. They had my measurements on a Friday morning, The Jacket was ready to be picked up the FOLLOWING Monday. I don't think you can have a suit made that fast. These are the got to gys for a great fitting , well made jacket. My Thanks you to all of you again. Custom Indy by Patrick J. Mulligan I just
got my black Indy jacket. It fits me to a "T". I love it I love it I love it!
Thumbs up action, guys! Custom G-1 by Clyde 'Yahoo' Willis Jacksonville FL
Just got my new modified G-1 in the mail today. Ordered the jacket late on Monday night and it was here on Thursday. I ordered a custom Top Gun model with ANJ-3 collar. Now I am someone who has practically everything a man could want. This jacket is truly special. Number one, it fits me like a glove. I am 6'4" and weigh over 200lbs. Finding a jacket that fits either is impossible or it costs an arm and a leg. When I was told that I could have any number of alterations for only $100.00 I was surprised. I got 70 grams of Thinsulate, extra length in the body, extra length in the arms along with a leather collar. It is great. I would wholeheartedly recommend this company. Custom Patches by Steve Timm. I recently purchased two WWII army air corps patches from you and two from another supplier. After I got them, I sent there's back and ordered two more from you. Yours were more expensive, but of much higher quality and appearance. Service and delivery better too. REPAIR WORK BY BILL WALSH I am very pleased with the repairs that were done to my flight jacket. I have had that jacket for 30 years and you have put it back into new condition. I was also impressed with the quick service. Thanks very much and keep up the great work. G-1 Repair by Steve Warwick Thanks for fixing up our old G-1 jacket. The cuffs look good and the jacket is once again wearable. As I have come to expect from you, the work was quickly and expertly done. I do appreciate having someone to turn to for these type of repairs that I can trust to do the job right & without hassles. Thanks again. Repair A-2 by
Just
received my A-2 jacket that was alt in the sleeves. One word: Repair A-2 by
I just
wanted to drop a quick note to let you know how pleased I CUSTOM G-1 By DAVID MATZEN I recently ordered a ANJ-3 from US AUTHENTIC. Customer service was very well informed and helpful. I received my jacket in 4 days (custom order) which I thought was exceptional. I have had several unsatisfactory experiences attempting to purchase a high-quality, authentic flight jacket; all of them were disappointing until I contacted U.S. Authentic! The jacket is of the highest quality in every respect and the design is absolutely authentic, not to mention a perfect fit. Your craftsmen are to be commended! Keep up the good work as I'll soon be ordering the M-444. Custom A2 by I received my new custom jacket last week and was very pleased with it. The fit is excellent and quality unsurpassed. The two inner chest pockets and dual entry outer pockets really make the jacket functional. The Thinsulate lining is not bulky but adds that little extra for winter wearing. Beats the hell out of my old LLBean leather jacket. I'm looking forward to breaking it in and wearing it all winter. Thanks again for sending me a catalog and sample sheet showing all the different leather and fur samples. It was a great help. Repair G1 by I don't know where to start other than to say that I am ecstatic over the amazing work you did on repairing my 70's G-1 Aviator Jacket. The cuffs and waistband material are top rate. They reflect the cross ribbing found in many original jackets and the color, wool and installation were way above expectations. The Zipper is brilliant. I was afraid the replacement might not be the same as original mil-spec but it is, and not only works like a charm, it replicates the old one you replaced. Now for the Mouton Collar. Mine was synthetic, a feature I think the navy skimped on when they went into cost saving mode. Now with the plush, and wonderful smelling mouton collar replacement, My neck is swathed in luxurious material that I know will last for at least two decades. I want to congratulate you and your staff for expert sewing -- the stitching was executed in the original stitch holes and is flawless. I feel the jacket is now better than it originally came. Your service is wonderful, prompt and greatly appreciated. Many others claim to do authentic work, but yours truly rose above the rest in materials, workmanship and customer service. I'm saving now to buy one of your new G-1's. I will recommend you to anyone. By the way, I work in the film business here in Los Angeles, and attention to detail is tantamount to success. You succeeded on every level and I thank you. A-2 Repair and patches by Nichols Randy My A-2 jacket with the new patches looks great! I'm very pleased with the new sleeve, the workmanship and the super-fast turnaround. Thank you for working with me to find the right solution for adding the patches. You guys are the best!
