Leather Aviator Jumper...


I just seen a segment of the movie and saw the Leather one piece suits they were wearing and wondered if they are available anywhere? I've never seen anything like it and thought it was sooooooo cool.

If anyone has any info I would greatly appreciate it.

You must be watching this on MY NETWORK/THIS Movie channel, as I am too.

Sorry, no info on your question.

Yeah, I had it on. Didn't really watch it. Was doing a couple of things. Looked like a good movie though.

According to an exhibit in the Postal Museum in Washington, DC, pilots started wearing leather jackets in the days of open-cockpits because it was considered less flammable than cloth after getting sprayed with oil from the engine, as often happened in those days. The silk scarfs were wiping oil off your goggles.
