Default Leather Flying Jacket recommendations

Hi there
Does anyone have any recommendations for suppliers of good leather flying jackets available in the US?
I like these Holden Aviator Flying Jacket - Motoring Clothing from Holden Vintage & Classic available in the UK - anything similar here?
Thanks

Within the last two years, I have gotten several items from US Wings, Leather Bomber Jackets and Flight Jackets from U.S. Wings, that I am happy with, but not a jacket. Instead, I bought a leather driving jacket from Retro Motor Sports, Quality Race Related Apparel Inspired by Sports Car Racing Legends, Cars and Events which was a bargain for a high quality product that is a perfect fit for me.

Love my Avirex.

Very original, nice thick leather, ages nicely.

I have several leather bomber/flight jackets, and this is my clear favorite.

For authentic USA made flight jacket I highly recommend this company:
A-2 Leather Flight jacket FlightJacket.com

Super attention to detail, they will custom make your jacket no charge, and the quality and replication is top notch.

I have an A2 in seal brown horsehide and G8 in black. Much better quality than my 30 year old Avirex (I love my Avirex also, soloed and tested in it)
Best, Bret.

Take a look at the Hammacher Schlemmer (sp) catalog. Their products are 1st class as is their company.
