worth every cent.
- By charles from Athens AL USA on Thursday, January 23, 2014
- Review: It's easy to see it's the real deal. Comfortable, warm, and very supremely constructed. If I could offer one improvement it would be to offer a long version for those of us with a longer body. It easily rides up above the waist.

I'm satisfied
- By A Customer from Cedar City UT USA on Monday, October 25, 2010
- Pros: Sturdy zipper and map pocket snap -- better than others I've seen
- Cons: Hanging loop is just sewn to the lining -- better if sewn through the leather
- Review: Authentic Navy issue styling... no handwarmer pockets (knockoff jackets have them, I didn't want them). The advice to order a bit on the large size is good. I normally wear a 44 -- ordered a 46 and it fits just right. Quality materials and construction. For some reason the collar tends to roll up -- ok if you want to keep the back of your neck warm.

Great jacket
- By Rene from Lafayette LA USA on Friday, January 23, 2015
- Pros: Good stitching and workmanship. Excellent color, very comfortable fit
- Cons: Sleeves too long for me, but that is because no short sizes are available.
- Review: I love my jacket. It met expectations in that it seems to be well made. It is very much like the one I wore in the Navy. I love the feel and smell of a quality leather jacket. It is obviously a quality product and I get compliments every time I wear it. Being short (5'7" 38" chest and 30" waist), I ordered a size 38, it fits perfectly except the sleeve length is too long by about 1-1/2" I wish the jacket could be ordered in "short size" which would make it a perfect fit. The fit recommendations; to order one size up is spot on. The jacket fits snugly which is the way I like it, but if you expect to wear several layers or heavy sweaters under it, be sure and order the size up. Since I don't expect to wear heavy sweaters or shirts under it, I find it fits perfectly over a medium weight sweater. The jacket is a perfect weight for wearing here in South Louisiana for our very mild winters most of the time.

Happy Husband!!!
- By Laurie from Virginia Beach VA USA on Thursday, June 16, 2011
- Pros: Excellent customer service!!!
- Cons: No velcro patches like the Navy issue ones...
- Review: My husband couldn't wear his Navy issue leather flight jacket any more because pieces of it were worn out (holes init) and he really missed it! I found this one on-line and matched it up with what was left of his old one and it is pretty close to identical. I ordered it for him for a birthday present and he was VERY HAPPY to have a leather aviators jacket again. I followed the advise of others who had ordered and went up a size and it was perfect for him.

A Good Purchase
- By Ethan on Tuesday, November 25, 2014
- Review:
Liked:
- The quality of the jacket
- The warmth it can provide
Disliked:
-Price
-Mine was a bit tight
Summary:
- Every good leather jacket coats a lot of money
This was a great leather jacket for a fair sum of money.
Would recommend to a friend.
Might suggest you order just another size larger for a non tight fit - Was this review helpful to you? Yes No 3 Other people found this review helpful.

The jacket is exceptional!
- By A Customer from Neptune NJ USA on Wednesday, January 06, 2010

Navy issue
- By sailor jack on Monday, March 15, 2021
- Pros: Nice jacket but its a intermediate weather not cold weatherr.
- Cons:
- Review: Not exactly the same as my Navy issue in Korean war. but to be expected as the Navy also changed the specks later on the collar. No more Muskrat or Fox Fur, .some were made with cow hide as well.

Well made, very tight looks good on this old sailor
- By Vinnie from Brevard NC USA on Tuesday, April 19, 2022
- Pros: Well made, great leather, nice collar. True to the historical jacket
- Cons: Very expensive
- Review:
The descriptors on the website are correct. The jacket has no side pockets and ends at the waist. I ordered a size slightly larger and it is very tight. But very nice leather and collar.
I guess in this day and age, we are used to loose fitting clothing, so this jacket seems odd at first. The website did a good job of explaining this however. - Was this review helpful to you? Yes No 0 Other people found this review helpful.

A wish fulfilled!
- By Nancy Ellen from farmington NM USA on Sunday, February 20, 2011
- Review: The jacket looked exactly right. The fit was perfect. The only change would be to the pockets. They need to have a separate entrance from the back not just from the top. Not quite as heavy as remembered.
