Carl, I know I'm late commenting on this, the video is date stamped two years ago. But, I'm glad you're addressing the challenges faced by those of us who are "differently shaped". I find it challenging being stocky, I'm short but have broad shoulders, and breadth around the midsection. This makes finding jackets, and shirts a challenge. Finding pants with a 28 inch inseam is also a challenge; but, that's a separate issue. I like that the jacket is well made, with good materials, and is at, a reasonable price, for leather jackets. The removable fleece collar liner is a great addition too. Thanks!

From someone that worked in the retail industry for quite sometime, don’t get deceived by the fit of the items on models. Those items, in catalogues and website are mostly tailored to fit the models body in order to make them look good. Most of the time they’re sample sizes (40R jacket, Medium shirt and 30 or 32 waist). It’s always better to try on the item itself. Like the video says, take your time and check on item, reviews and fit as much as you can.

Hey Carl just got this. It's my first leather jacket, it's more substantial than I expected. That tartan lining is really beautiful, really enhances the look. The one thing I don't agree with you on is the throat latch. I'm a leather jacket newbie so I may be wrong but I find the latch kinda uslesess, when the zipper is closed all the way up the latch doesn't do much. Other than that it's a great jacket!

Everyone on a budget should look around every second hand store in their town for the perfect leather jacket. Look around every one a few times and the larger ones on a weekly basis until you find a perfect fit in the perfect style. Look at every single leather jacket in the store. I volounteer at one, good items usually sell in a few days, and nothing is kept around longer than six weeks. So yes, looking through them once a week is worth it. It's a big time investment but with the right eye for quality you'll end up with a beautiful leather jacket for 30-60 bucks that outclasses anything in the 100 dollar to 200 dollar range

As a quick addendum to this video, I want to make a quick first impression of the Montgomery Jacket that Satchel and Page sell, as Carl did a great review of the Bomber. The only size currently left for the Montgomery jacket is large. I'm 6ft and not "differently shaped" or super buff. I personally don't prefer the Bomber's look, but I was super stoked for the Montgomery so I risked it being just a little large: - As I understand it, most sizing recommendations have you measure the entire circumference of your body. The Satchel and Page sizing chart seems to recommend from the center of the armpit and down. A little strange, but manageable. - The jacket's shoulder (from the ends of the shoulder seams where it meets the arms) is about 19.5 inches wide, measured from the back. My shoulders seem to be 18.5 inches wide and the jacket seems to fit my shoulders nicely in the sense that my shoulder's curves are matched by the jacket. The sizing chart on their website suggests that medium might have been small for me at 18.25 inch shoulders recommended. -My "pit to pit" size, which appears to be a modifier version of chest sizing is about 21.5 inches from the center of the pits. The sizing chart suggests medium and I think I agree. There is slightly too much material for me, though I still think it looks fine. I have been planning on bulking up a little, so I'll fill out just a bit and this should be fine. -My "mid" size, appears to be about 20in putting me between medium and large, though medium probably would have been fine. -My "waist" size is 21, which puts me at large, though I'm not personally sure how much the waist size matters. -My sleeve length is about 25in which would be a medium and the sizing chart is correct, the large is just barely too much. -Front length: With only an inch difference between medium and large I don't think it matters. Having said that, I measure myself at 22in, though the large sizing is fine in my eyes. Overall, I'm very pleased with the fit of the Montgomery jacket. Carl mentions how nice the gusset on the Bomber jacket is for freedom of movement and he's absolutely right - Montgomery doesn't have gussets and reaching up will take the jacket up with your arms. Reaching forward pulls the cuffs a bit back, but is no problem.

Hey Alex! Sorry to hear you missed the window on these man, that's a bummer. The first thing I would do is email Satchel and Page to see if they have any left in stock. Just because its sold out doesn't mean they don't have a few stragglers, and its worth a shot! If that doesn't work, I'd be wary of Thursday Boots. If their leather bags are anything like their jackets, it's passable at best. If it were you I'd check out Gustin and see if they have any leather jackets coming out in the near future. They're awesome, made in the USA, and really affordable. If you simply can't wait, I highly recommend Schott Bros. They're another heritage brand with a reputation for quality, and they have a huge selection. Finally I think its worth looking at the new leather jackets from Taylor Stitch, they look incredible and are made by Golden Bear.

Based on this review I bought the “updated” version of this Bomber Jacket late 2020. I am impressed with the overall quality of the jacket…but…there is a major design flaw, in my opinion! The Jacket sleeves are just too tight…specially around the armpits! So tight that it actually feels uncomfortable to use, even wearing only a T-shirt! I am 6’ 180lbs (chest 44 in) and got the XL, following size recommendation from Satchel & Page…and it is definitely the “right” size…and sizing up to XXL is not an option because the sleeves would be too long. I couldn’t return the jacket because I am not living in the USA and by the time I got it, it was too late to send it back, according to the return policy. For international buyers, due to long shipping times (& cost), I would NOT recommend this jacket…in case it doesn’t fit you, it is a logistic nightmare to return the jacket. It’s a shame, because it is really a nice Jacket. …it looks nice hanging in my wardrobe 🤷♂️😬

From what I can tell the quality of my jacket is FAR superior in construction to the one you are reviewing...and a tad less expensive.....Still it's priced right at $500 +/-......but with good quality you should always get what you pay for. When I was in the Navy the pilots always gave their "issue G-1" to their girlfriend and ordered the "milspec version G-1" Gibson and Barnes for their service use....They looked, fit and felt superior to "issue" and were highly coveted by the junior officers. My son will enjoy it long after I'm gone....and his son will as well. Quality never goes out of fashion

Probably many have seen the bomber jackets made by either Buzz Rickson or by Eastman Leather. But for a far better deal, yet quite authentic and good construction you should check out Gibson and Barnes (out of San Diego, CA area, with some of the construction being done in northern Mexico). The source of leather is excellent, and G&B insists upon details that follow the traditional form very carefully. So, you can get a great A2, or G1, with real mouton, and even the perforations and labeling you would see on the originals. I obtained one of their "Civil A2" model which has side-entry handwarmer pockets, a feature which is not consistent with the original A2 design, but which is good for those cold days. www.gibson-barnes.com/ G&B cater to actual pilots with helmets, mic equipment, storage bags, jumpsuits and so forth. But these same pro pilots tend to like the flight jackets from the forties and fifties too.
@crtune5 жыл бұрын
This is an example of a "civil" G-1 (Navy type) flight jacket from Gibson and Barnes: www.gibson-barnes.com/prod-293977/Civil-G1.html# They have not only basic leather flight jackets of very high quality (and accurate details), but also loving recreations of famous flight jackets from the war, like the 1943 model A2 jacket, or "Flying Tigers" models. These are more expensive. I own a civil model A2 in brown goatskin. The leather is excellent, and all the construction is fantastic, not a stray stitch anywhere. This company also sells helmets and headsets, as well as all other suits and items for professional helicopter and aircraft pilots. It's not someplace just in business for the role play. Their customers often make a living flying. The owner is a former USMC aviator, and this is now family-run. Prices beat most of the others without any reduction in quality.

Too Indiana Jones looking. I like Rick oconnells in the mummy returns 21minutes into movie. Dark brown non shiny textured leather jacket i think. Slash side pockets. Gussetted back. A 2inch wide panel across back on lower back of jacket similar to this one. And stitching 3 inches from bottom of hem of jacket all across with no knitted hem. Button enclosure rather than zip. Satchel and page should watch movie and replicate it.

Beautiful jacket but it seems really uncomfortable. Looks way too tight on the arm sleeves.
@CarlMurawski5 жыл бұрын
It's definitely a slim fit, and I think a satin lined sleeve would make them much more comfortable.

Split second hesitation when he said bomber jackets looked good 100 years ago because he knows rhey did not exist back then, but he kept on rolling

Hand warmer pockets are a dead giveaway that it’s phony. I realize it’s not milspec but if you are going to ape the milspec vibe, go all the way. The jacket is nice enough, but you can buy authentic G-1’s for way less than the S&P version. If you really want to pry open the wallet, Eastman and/or Real McCoy’s sell super authentic reproductions but they’re gonna cost you.

I'd love to get a Real McCoy B3 jacket, but they're like 3K! Still, best of the best and its gonna cost you. On my wish list for sure.

Carl Murawski about 20 years ago I had an Eastman B6 (kind of like a B3, but lighter and even more snug...) and like a fool, I sold it along with a Hanhart fleiger Luftwaffe watch. Got a ton of money for them but I’d rather have them both back! I can’t touch either one of them for what they go for now...

It’s insane how much that level of quality goes for these days. On one hand, you’ll have it forever. On the other, it will cost you one months mortgage payment!

Carl Murawski when I was young & single I’d just put it on a credit card... my wife would kill me for spending that kind of money on a jacket now! By the way, as many of your vids as I’ve watched I thought I was already subscribed!! I am now for sure though. Great work my friend, keep it up!

If you are looking for a "Flight jacket" that looks like a flight jacket, ie is authentic, then go to Eastman leather. This is a poor and not very authentic lookalike.
@tyv1383 Жыл бұрын
it's not going for the authentic look, authentic is long sleeves, lower arm holes and baggy waist. This is not that

I wouldn’t spend that much money on something that looks average on me if I were you. Plenty of other clothes that’d make you look like a stud but this is not it my brother
