    I have just a plain leather jacket, that I have not worn for 2 years since moving to Florida lol.

    My dad has always wanted one of the RAF Irving jackets but could never afford one (700 dollars give or take! ) One of these years I'll have enough saved to get him one lol.

    That's awesome Bear. Details? Custom? Price?



    This jacket is about 5-6 years old. That's a Model 21 Zero-Sen behind me at the Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo.

    I would also like a leather jacket like the flying tiger's wore with the big back chinese blood chit decal on it.

    When dad found out mom was pregnant he went to Sears Roebuck & Co and bought a leather motorcycle jacket size 36. He bought it for the son he knew he would have.

    That ****ing thing stinks after 38 years. If it weren't for the zipper blowing out and the seams falling apart I would still wear it.

    I'm having it disassembled and using the leather to redo the seat on my little harley.

    Why not have a tailor fix the jacket up?

    My dad gave me his G2 from when he was on a carrier (he was aircraft maintenance and got it off some other guy but it's the real deal), it needs work and I want to fix it up but I will never fit into it unfortunately .

    Thank you Petter.

    Here's a side view:



    My son was about 10 months old at the time.

    Do you scuba dive Cajun or do you just like the P-40 on the back of the A/O shirt?
