This is a thread not so much for pilot impressions per-se but anyone who collects flight jackets or similar items. Even guys who collect military jackets from other services to wear casually. I recently picked up a brand new alpha industries MA-1 flight jacket in sage green after seeing a picture of my father wearing an origional on a finishing trip in the late 70ies or early 80ies. I thought it was pretty cool and picked one up myself. I then started doing a little bit of research on flight jackets and I find the different styles over the last 60 or so years to be rather interesting as it progressed with airplane and garmant technologies over the years.
Anyways I've been thinking of picking up the newer CWU-45/P jacket or maybe a leather G-1 (think top gun).
Anyone else collect jackets to wear off the field?
Most of the jackets including mine are visible here I'd link pics but didint want to hot link:
