I would like to look at the specs and prices online.
Which stopover store has them on-site?
Which Perrone model is acceptable to the company?
Thanks again.

Any black leather jacket with epaulets that are gold and no patch (empty Velcro is fine) is acceptable.
Perrone are also made to order so don’t expect it in the mail right away. They’re all handmade on site. Ordered mine a few years back in like April and didn’t get it until June. Great quality tho

You can also look on eBay for a slightly used one. That's how I got mine. It's the standard Perrone airliner jacket (they're all basically a standard design of jacket). Great quality that I think looks better than other brands. I paid $200 for mine, it was from a Skywest pilot.

Pops Leather will custom make one for you if they are still around. And I do mean custom. Any style you want. Bought one from them in Turkey many years ago (not a pilot one), it was awesome.
Gibson and Barnes make a nice heavy coat with removable liner. Buy it used and save a LOT of money. Before you buy one from Crew Outfitters (no offense), I would handle a Perone or G&B jacket. Feel the difference.
Oh, and be prepared to be looked down upon in disdain by many...
