Best JacketThe 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?Posted on

Great jacketI 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.
