just got a vintage leather (goat?) jacket (PICS UPDATE!)
I just got a old flight jacket from the 50's or 40's, simmilar to the A2 jackets. I guess the jacket must be made of goat or lamb, but I do tempt more to the goat.
The distressing and collour are amazing! I only have this picture from ebay right know, but I will post other pictuzres soon!
Unfortunaly the jacket doesn't fits me

Looks like satin body -
Just curious, why did you purchase a jacket that does not fit you?
(a gift for a friend/family member or just for your collection?)
Best Regards,

I would ditto that. Those flightjackets were mostly made of horse. If that wasn't availibale of goat ...TCARTPILOT wrote:Sure it's not horsehide? Alot of those old jackets were made out of horsehide because there was alot of it around back then.
Great looking jacket!!

I bought it on ebay becouse it was pretty cheap and the seller didn't knew the actuall size. In fact the jacket is something like 38. The zipper looks good but it doesn't work. This jacket is devinitly not a horsehide, and I'm pretty shure that it is goat.
Too bad that it doesen't fit me. I'm going to take pictures of it today or tomorrow

Yep. Admiral Nelson was only 4 foot odd.

Anyone who has really old furniture will tell you it was smaller back in those days because people were generally smaller.

Well, since I have too many uniforms and jackets hanging in my flat right know I have no place to keep it as a collectors item. So if anyone is interessted in this jacket, I'm going to put it on ebay. I'll announce it in the "for sale" categorie.
Thanks alot for your comments.
**UPDATE**
