    The delivery was very fast, US to western Canada within a week. Overall service, including a quick telephone to confirm size, was exceptional. All I said was 170 lbs, 5' 11" and you said one word- Large and it fits like a glove. The jacket was exactly what I wanted and expected. Good quality material and workmanship. The (faux) fur collar looks great. Just had it out for a long walk in negative 10 degrees Celsius and found it warm as toast. I did find it a bit pricey especially paying in Cdn. dollars. But they are hard to come by and the quality is great. I was disappointed to find it was made in China. Why can't an authentically designed American jacket be made in the States?

    Great jacket
    I recently received the reproduction Korean War era B-15 with detachable mouton fur collar. It is great, just like the other jackets and apparel I've purchased from US Authentic.
    One suggestion: add a button hole to the top center of the fabric collar and add a button to the top center of the mouton. This will keep the mouton from flying away from the top of the neck when attached to the jacket.
    I am deploying to the Middle East in the near future. I've decided to wear the B-15 as its fiber filled batting makes it just as warm as the A-2, and it is lighter weight, making it easier to carry and store. Do you make a cloth or silk Desert Storm type blood chit? I have your leather blood chit, but it would not look right sewn on a fabric jacket. and would like to have a blood chit on my B-15..."just in case..."
    I took your advice about how to treat my oil soaked goatskin A-2 and tossed it in the dryer for a couple of hours. That dried it a bit and lightened the leather's color. It now it has an aged look. My goal for many years has been to have an A-2 that looked as "50 mission crush-ish" as the A-2 worn by Steve McQueen in the movie The Great Escape.
    Again you have my thanks for US Authentic's approach to workmanship; providing authentic aviation gear at reasonable prices. Be assured that once I return home I will be ordering whatever new products you have.

    Best Regards. God Bless America.
