      A few samples are in the pipeline….....

      Kudu shirt
      Varsity

      Kudu shirt - sounds interesting.

      General question - how long (as in length, not time!) would one normally wear a D-1 flight jacket? I'm struggling to find many fit pics. I've recently developed an interest in them, and the B-6. If I buy one, I might have to start hanging out in industrial refrigerators just to get my money's worth.

                      Thanks Giles. Damn it looks good. Am I correct in thinking a B-6 would have a similar silhouette?

                      Any word from Will if he will do a 'redskin' version?

                            Will from Alexander Leathers has been sending me samples of jackets over the last couple of months.

                            Here is his take on a D1.  I'll tell you something, this sheepskin is some of the best I have ever seen on a D1.

                            This jacket is a 44 and the price is USD1,000 which includes shipping.  I can obviously get custom sizes made up.

                                I'm assuming the varsity jacket will the same color as the IHF- VAR?
