US Wings makes one, I think Wested does too.
The wings one looks like the adult one. Only smaller of course.

Watch Ebay. There are all kinds of options on there and you can get a good deal. My wife found one for our three year old that was from Gap that was almost dead on. No action pleats, but the pockets looked just right. And since they grow out of them right away, perfect screen accuracy may not be absolutely essential. I think she just looked for "kids brown leather jacket", and paid under $50.

Us Wings gets my vote. My son's Wings jacket has proven very durable. He has had it for 18 months and it has been great. Watch Wings website for the "Deal of the Day", this jacket was recently listed for half off, a steal at the price, but still a bargain at the regular price.

Picture of the jacket new.

I had this posted last year. My wife had a friends kids over for the afternoon, and one of them brought his US Wings jacket. My wife fit it pretty well, it is a child's jacket. US Wings has my vote.

Wested's one is goat and more Raiders styled. Current exchange rate puts it at less than $115. + postage.

I like the old US Wings kids' jackets. More Raiderish! But very hard to find.
