: : Through your many discussions with Peter about the jacket, did he give you the history of the design? All I know is that the end product was a variation on a Peter original. Was the Raider design meant to be a US or British aviator jacket? I'd be thrilled to hear more. Also, I've read that early US A2s were lambskin then altered for some reason. Thanks.

: Yes he has, but it's far to long a story to relate here. Hopefully an update on the IndyGear FAQ will answer those questions in the not to distant future. Regards. Michaelson

Agreed Michaelson - it does get drawn-out a bit. Lots of little things compounded up into the final design concept that we've all argued the finer point of.

FYI - I beleive you mean goatskin, not lambskin for the A2's. Actually, they were originally horsehide, I believe. They gravitated to goatskin over time.

Cheers!
