    Show us your mall fit A-2 or flight jackets.

    I'm very into the chestnut, and may go for a seal in the future... but that money may head to an A-1 instead.

    Proper relaxed A2 fit

    Historically, I think the A-2 became a jacket with a preferred looser fit as it was worn as a top layer over scarves and vests due to high altitude flights in the cold. The earlier A-2 jackets The A-1 and the A-2 were originally worn as wind breakers in open cockpit planes and when the wind...

    One thing I will add it that it's not vat dyed, so it will scratch up nicely over time. And I'm looking forward to that.

    I used no flash in my shots, the one I have is Chestnut in color. When it comes to detailing, I think it's very comparable to what you see from most other companies working to put out a mil-spec a2 of the time. It's not a copy of any particular company. It has all the right details. I'd say...

    Courage to Wear a Fedora

    Who here was around in the early 60s and remembers when it used to take courage to not wear a hat?

    Courage to Wear a Fedora

    Back in the early days of the Lounge, Fedoras were very rare to be seen on any head around town. The world has changed. Even in the media… there are more shows on TV today that showcase leeds wearing hats than there have been in the last 30 years. Wear your hats in good health!

    Salmagundi

    That's the awesomeness of the name. It's an old pirate term from my knowledge… and it's got a ring to it.

    moths and fur felt

    Not only do they love fur felt… they have restaurants that specifically serve fur felt.
