They called it a deer brown color. The problem I have with it is that having one of the aviation style one's this particular one just falls short :?

Do they ever sell any of these things, or are they only give aways to BUSA buyers and swag-aholics like Mario?

Doc, these are promotional items that are never sold.

Yeah, side by side with the aviation style I think there is no comparison!

Id rather have another lighter than that crap. It looks like a clearance jacket from a sporting goods store.

I like the old style jacket much more, this new one looks like more of a mediocre sporting jacket. RJRJRJ is right about that
Still, I prefer to get that pilot helmet in the picture :bow:

It must be a British thing, because I prefer this newer version too! :thumbsup:

The shiny nylon on the older ones always put me off.
