RAF by Cameron Schaub

The jacket was at the house when I returned after work.The color is just what I was anticipating, the elimination of all the horizontal seams and the waist size are all excellent. It really did change the overall looks of the jacket. I think it couldn't look better. I can’t thank you enough. It has been on my wont list for years.My last shearing is 17 years old. B3 stile I have only one concern, I have noticed already that the inside sleeve zippers seam to drag on the top edge of the pockets.I imagine with time it may wear threw the finish and the stitching.If this happens do you do maintenance on your jackets?I am very excited and satisfied with the jacket and your work.Thank you

B-3 by Daniel Goldring

I just wanted to say the b3 jacket i bought from you last year turned out to be one of my best investments. I live in the northeast and this and last year gave us some pretty cold weather. Your B 3 jacket turned out to be great as i stayed warm while everyone who laughed at me for spending $650 on the coat was left envious and cold. I am so pleased that i am going to purchase the Irvin jacket and the A 5 trousers in the next couple of months.

B-3 by John Beacon, Brewer Maine

My B-3 flight jacket arrived today (fast delivery) and I couldn't be happier!  Your suggestion to try the regular 44 for size and then indicate adjustments to be made was absolutely the right way to go.  I said I needed 1.5" more in sleeve length, and you made that coat for me with those adjustments.  Not only did you customize the coat, but you actually made it while I was returning the regular 44 to you, so you were able to do the turn around and send me the final coat in less than a week!

Amazing.  You also didn't charge me additional shipping for the change.  The fit is perfect!  The quality of construction is excellent!  The quality of material is second-to-none!   I nearly went with another maker who would have charged me $300

more for the same quality coat, and charged me shipping for not only my return if they were wrong in their initial size recommendation, but for sending a second coat as well! And, shipping would have been higher each time than what you charged me initially!

Consider me a very happy customer who plans to spread the word and buy only from you!  This is my third coat from your company, and I love every one of them!                         A very pleased customer.

RAF by Jamie Orner

I received my RAF "Irvin" jacket yesterday and it is everything you advertised and more.  The attention to detail is superb and the construction and materials flawless.  Thanks to your help and accurate advice, it fits great.  I have already recommended you to two others and will continue to do so.  In this world you get what you pay for and this was well worth the price.  I was honestly considering buying my jacket from England and am happy I didn’t.  The quality and accuracy could not be any better and the ability to speak to you directly, the reasonable shipping cost, and the comfort of knowing that if there was a problem with size or anything else it could be quickly, cheaply and easily corrected made all the difference.  My Thanks again.

I'm dropping you a note to say thank you for the excellent jobs which you have done with all the jackets which I have ordered from you.Flying Tigers A2,

 I like this jacket because the Flying Tigers are a part of my Chinese heritage. It was quite surprising that the lettering on the blood chit was so well done. Also, nice job on 2 inside custom pockets.G1, Although this was a "simple" jacket, it was manufactured and put together with quality workmanship. I especially like the custom collar which you made for me.M444, What can I say? The artwork was fantastic and the jacket is superbly warm. Too bad that its not that cold year round here in Southern California. From the quality materials that was used, I think this jacket should last me a lifetime.G8, I think this is the best work you've done so far. The G8 is light enough to wear on those cool mornings, and with the custom wool liner which you made for me, it should keep me toasty warm in the winter. I especially enjoy the artwork which you have drawn for me. The Jolly Rogers' emblem is excellent! I believe you're the only one on the web that offers this particular item for sale.I have received many compliments for all the jackets which I have purchased from you. If I may, I will send you as many potential customers as I can. I feel that you have done an outstanding job in the manufacture of all these jackets. Additionally, I feel that you have created an atmosphere that makes the customer feel comfortable when shopping from your web site.

B-3 By Scott S.  MA

THE B3 IS WOW!!!! WOW!!! WOW!!!! MY WIFE LOVES IT!!! IT WAS HER BIRTHDAY PRESENT.

KUDO'S TO YOUR ARTIST. AND THE CRAFTSMANSHIP IS OUTSTANDING!! WOW! 

B-3 "Life Saver" by Glenn Brooks

I was one of the people in Buffalo NY that was caught in that snow storm on the highway for 18 hours. Last year I purchased your B3 bomber jacket and thank god I was wearing it. You guys produce a great product that maybe didn't save my life but got close. I love my B3 and I wish there was a way that I could turn other people on about your products. Thanks again! My friends laughed about the over $600 price tag but to me it was well worth it! Have a happy holiday..

B-3 by Shannon G. Lucky (former Strategic Air Command crewmember, USAF)

After reading all the reviews for the A-2 jacket US Authentic makes, I couldn't let your B-3 go without at least a few kind words. I had wanted a B-3 ever since I was in high school, to me, it was the quintessential Air Force flight jacket. When I joined the USAF after high school, and subsequently went through aircrew training, I began to collect flight gear, both modern and vintage, original and reproduction. I purchased jackets from Avirex (pretty good stuff in the early 80s, not quite so good now) as well as originals I found in second hand stores and other places. FINALLY, I found an original B-3....but it was WAY too small for me to ever wear (even at my old military weight, I'm a big guy). I came across US Authentic a few years back, and saw a photo on the site of one of the early B-3s, and thought it looked nice, but not QUITE like mine.....so I kept looking. I never could find a decent repro B-3 to wear (Nebraska winters are cold!) until I was reading through an aviation history magazine and saw an ad for "History Preservation Associates" (Eastman). I looked their website up and was appalled at the price of their jackets! A thousand bucks for a B-3????? HOLY CATS! Well, the bug had bit me again, and HARD by that time, I just had to have a B-3. I talked to a friend who also collected flight gear, and he said "Have you tried US Authentic? I've seen their B-3s and they're pretty good." I asked him to elaborate, and as we talked, I began to look at the B-3 original in my collection. His description of a US Authentic B-3 fit my original to a "T". The only thing missing, was the AAF winged star on the sleeve....small thing, that can be added later. So, I ordered a B-3 in January of 2002, and got the jacket within three days of ordering. IT MATCHED MY ORIGINAL PRECISELY! The colors of the sheepskin, the leather reinforcements and pocket, as well as the collar straps were DEAD ON! The buckles on the waist as well as at the collar matched....I was BEYOND impressed! The fit of the jacket was great and when a cold

RAF IRVING by James Tassin Jr.

   The jacket arrived today right at noon. I am very pleased with it. It’s everything as advertised. Your sizing suggestion was correct. The workmanship and materials seem to be of the best quality and no shortcuts or expediencies taken. I always wanted a jacket like this and now I feel that I have one of the best quality available. Now all I need is some extended cold weather so I can wear it consistently and get that broken-in look. If you ever need a recommendation or referral you can count on me 

 RAF By Brendan Mills

just wanted to email you and let you know that the RAF Jacket you made me is really doing its job. Unlike most of the sheepskins you sell mine is actually being used to for the purpose it was originally made . that is flying in unheated airplane.

I went flying several times last month . my Irvin kept me warm in the air as well as on the flight line. I was lucky to hit into some thermals and had some nice long flights. the only thing was that my feet almost froze . (you have to get to work on some sheepskin boots!)

One thing I should tell you though Original Irvin did not have hand-warmer pockets. if someone wants a historically accurate RAF Irvin they might have a problem with this. I am awaiting your new catalog let me know when it is ready . I will be in touch with you for the G1 restoration job in April. by the way I can't wait to see your new G-1.

RAF by Steve Orkoulas

I just received my Jacket and all I can say is WOW.

I am very impressed and happy that I ordered the jacket from US Authentic. It was well worth the wait. Your size recommendation was right on the money. The jacket fits perfectly and the materials and workmanship are top notch, beyond my expectation. I was in England a few years back and I stopped at Thruxton Airport and looked into buying an RAF jacket from Aviation Leathercraft, but I am happy I did not buy it from them. US Authentic RAF jacket is a truly authentic reproduction. Its great to see an American company that takes pride in their work and produces a product that exceeds its advertisement, not only to mention that your production facilities are right here in New York. I will be placing an additional order for a B2 jacket in the very near future. Keep up the good work. 

                                      
IRVIN by Christopher Johnson

Had I know about this comment section, I would have praised my 'Irvin' jacket a long time ago...so here goes this which is long overdue. I know I gave you guys a hard time with my order and you sorted me out with your professionalism, but the jacket is the absolute BEST I've ever owned. Being my favorite, it seems, however, that I cannot break it in unless I relocate to a place with arctic weather...as it is incredibly WARM. THANKS very much...I've pursued the Irvin for a long time and the QUALITY craftsmanship in its manufacture is TOP NOTCH. Much appreciated for a dream come true. Thanks again.
 

IRVIN by R. W. "Bob " Winter

The Irvin jacket arrived in perfect condition late Tuesday; and a predictably mild day yesterday brought enough wind with it to justify wearing it out to work, at a small country law office.  You'd've enjoyed the rave reviews it drew!
     It will get more than its share of serious use in the coming winter.
Thanks,

M-444 by  Scott C. Wisoff

I received my new flight jacket only 10 days after I placed my order, I choose the M-444.At the moment I unpacked my jacket it was immediately evident this level of craftsmanship can only come from some of the highest skilled professionals in their trade, and the materials used are only the best money can buy. I find it safe to say any aviator that ever donned the M-444 knew he was being issued only the very best.

Guys, they just don't make them like they used to.

M444 By John Beacon, Main

Just a brief note to let you know the M-444 arrived yesterday, and the fit is perfect. I love the weight and quality of the leather and am pleased with the tailoring adjustments to make the slightly larger jacket fit. Please share my appreciation with your tailors who made the size adjustments without any evidence of change. I am very pleased with US Authentic, as this is the second coat I have purchased from you. Your quality of hides and desire to authenticate the original models is much appreciated. It's nice to know there are still some manufacturers who insist on high standards of quality. I would not hesitate to buy another coat and I will be sending others in your direction.

B-6 Sheepskin Jacket By Philip Feldman

I picked up my B-6 two weeks ago at you NY facility. I wanted to wait for the excitement to wear off before writing to you. It hasn't. I want to thank you for all of the special touches, from ordering the correct weight shearling, to adding my original squadron patch and hiding its felt damage. This is the perfect weight jacket for the weather we are having. The M-444 I had purchased from you was just to warm in the above teens weather.

The B-6 Fits perfectly. I is extremely comfortable while driving, and surpasses even my USN issue G-1. I have been stopped no less than seven time with compliments and questions. Perhaps you have received requests for more B-6 jackets. Once again, Thank you.
