above is the stone island flyer now 700 odd notes on sale, stone island has become a tired brand seemingly running out of ideas but thie is a nice jacket none the less although ridiculously overpriced.this is from designer leathercraft and around 500 notesthis one is from aviation leathercraft moto lita ltd and costs 579 notes, its a better deal than the stone island as it is a true replica of the raf irving.the flying jacket was a favourite with the paninari as you can see here but didnt catch on with skinheads and modabove schott, this was a fav of the paninaris.above is the Balmain, I dont like this much because it looks too obviously made to look like.this is 500 notes at sheepskin co ukthis is the jofama one at 400 note but for sure not worth saving a 100 pounds for as regards the quality above at 500 poundsthis is 300 notes from uk leather jackets ltdthis one is by buzz rickson usa and around a grand, its more 14/18 if you get my meaningrickson has original spec chinos as well at 150 notes .the rickson heavy flying jacket here is a grand as regards the buck dollarand here is his version of the ma1 at around 800 bucks well over the top as regards prices in my opinionoriginal ww2 schott these originals can be easily reproduced if you find a painter minimanally able as lots of the pictures on the jackets were done by ordinary servicemenbomber L.2 from moda militaire florence one of the last places with original usa made and not vietnam alphas team up the bomber above with a fred perryand sta prest , check out warrior, they dont have alot of choice but they might be doing a silver grey soon so that would be perfectthe l2 b is about 139 euros at moda miltaire florence ItalyAlpha industries USA dont make flying jacks for the USAF anymore but they still produce them, all of their products are made in Vietnam though and the only firm that still has the original Alphas USA are Moda Militaire in Florence. These are still great jackets though, if you just wear them in bad weather with jeans or sta prest they still look much better than much of the casual wear you see around.
