This is one good quality set of flight boots. Nobody else does it better, I love em! Keep the RAF stuff coming Jerry!
why go through the trouble

I hate to be critical but I can't see why these boots could not be a perfect match for the originals. For all the effort and time and the waiting...... The tongue in the front comes up too high. The horizontal side seam should be parallel to the ground more or less while the seam on these slants to the front. The pulls on each side are sewn in a strange place on the side of the stack. The bottom of the rear vertical seam does not have the right cut to it. Shape is nice though. Heels and soles are nice. This is 90% of the way there to a 36 pattern but there is no reason why they can't be 100%. If it were 100%, Jerry would sell a lot more of them. The leather quality is tops. The lining is tops. Even the faux AM label on the pull is a nice touch. For 36 pattern, they are good for about 20 feet away but no closer. East German army boots are good at 30 feet. 25 years ago, I brought a pair of my granddads 1930's era cowboy boots to a boot maker in Texas and he made identical boots to them. You could not tell the difference anywhere except fot the age of the leather. So I know it can be done. I guess you can say they were "theatre made".....

They fit absolutely bloody perfectly right out of the box. I was as giddy as a young schoolboy! Thank you very much for making such wonderful reproduction items available.
I think I might sleep with them on tonight!
