That one's new to me. I search the web all the time for them and I've never come across that one.

I hate to say it but if you do search...

I really seem to remember that it has been discussed on here before. I think they said that the pockets were kind of small?... but for the price a G&B or Magnoli was better.

Yeah, they have been around for awile. I own ther A-2 horsehide custom. very well made jacket (like a tank,very thick leather). Never have seen there Indy, but I think I remember not very SA. dont quote me! RC is right, it is US Authentic.

Take care,

I'm pretty sure every disciussion I've read about Flightjackets was to tell to people it wasn't Flightsuits, which is G&B. Beyond that, it's a mystery.

They apparently make this Indy likeness in a vintage goathide.

The pocket flaps don't look to be a very SA shape either....

I have a feeling that Indiana G bought one. But either sen it back pretty quickly or sold it.

But my memory is hazy... :)

Thanks _. That explains what seems to be a W+G connection with some items.
He must have changed his Indy jacket pattern, it doesn't too too Wested in the photo.
Their A-2s look OK, but there are probably better options.

Thats the A-2 I mentioned above I believe. I bought it from _ a couple of years ago from Cario Bazzar(if its the same one). I noticed right off the bat,very Eastman/Aero like.

That's a blast from the past. I don't think I've been on that site since the Indyfan days.
