Silvermans

I could not be happier with my new jacket.
I did a lot of online research before purchase to work out that this was the right choice for me - down to the manufacturer and specific model - as it's a considerable investment, especially without being able to try on before purchase. I was aware of Silvermans' reputation as a military kit shop, but had reservations about their online service. I really needn't have worried...
I'm very happy with both the jacket and the vendor, from first enquiry to fullfilment and also refund after I got the size wrong at first - despite their best advice. I was looking for quality (thick) leather, patch pockets, removable fur collar topper and crucially, available in the UK for easier returns to get the sizing right. I'm happy - and relieved! - to share that neither the jacket nor supplier disappoint.
The LC5331X pays homage to classic flying jackets without being a die hard replica. The leather is thick, well finished and smells lovely! It loosens up nicely with wear. I have no doubt it will last decades and could be passed down to the next generation.
Silvermans could not have been more helpful throughout this purchase. They were happy to send me measurements prior to purchase. The first (smaller) jacket I ordered had a clunky but solid zip, whereas the second was fine. I ended up keeping the larger size; the return and refund was processed super fast.
I take a 44in chest and 36in waist. The XXL was a great fit around the belly, but just too tight across the shoulders. The XXXL is more comfortable across the shoulders/arms and a tiny bit longer in the body, but a touch loose at the waist. That was the better choice for me, but I do have a broad chest. Ideally, I'd want a XXXL chest with a XXL waist, but that's getting into the realms of tailor made kit!
If you want an aviator style leather jacket without needing it to be an authentic A2 or G1 replica, then this is a good quality choice. This was not an impulse purchase and I'm so happy to say that Silvermans turned out to be a great online shop. I'd buy it again without hesitation.

I was very pleased with the jacket it looks amazing and fits perfectly well

This is a top quality knife, made in Sheffield UK. Pleasing to the eye and touch.

Ideal for regular or “grab bag” occasional use.
Good heavy duty build.
Recommended.

Fits perfectly. Does the job.

Bought these a week ago have used all few times and they really work, Very impressed, hopefully they will last but very pleased have kept my feet dry and are easy to put on/take off fast delivery as well. Recommended

Excellent carry on bag for traveling

It is a superb instrument. Probably over-kill for many people. But if you want and appreciate the Very Best .... look no further.

Ideal summer and short distance riding gloves for the motorbike. Thin enough for fine control; thick enough for protection

I am Linda’s hubby, bought for me, it’s

At last I've got a 1970s PMRAFNS hat, it fits. Im really pleased

all ok

I've already reviewed my first pair, so won't do that again here.
I think they are very good and as they are so unique and when they're gone they're gone so to speak, I decided to get a second pair.
I'll add here that I decided to adjust the ear loops as they are very tight. I did this by soaking that part in a cup of boiling water for a minute or two, to heat and soften them enought to bend them back more open. I'm not recommending anyone else do that - but it did work for me.

Thank you for your prompt service and good quality products

Very happy with the Jacket. Just what I need on a cold morning
