    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    September 2 is VJ-Day (official end of WWII) so I’m sporting a 1980’s USS MISSOURI cap (when the battleship was still in commission on Active Duty); MISSOURI was the ship upon which the Japanese signed the official surrender document. Oh yes, and a repro M-422a

    What's up with Avirex A2 desirability ?

    Avirex was making good quality military flight jacket repro’s back in the 1970’s and 80’s (before the market exploded with so many manufacturers with varying degrees of quality and authenticity). Sadly Avirex quality went downhill in the succeeding years before the company morphed into...

    Unsung heroes? Sears Leather Shop, Montgomery Ward Quality Outerwear and other moto jackets that might have aged well despite bad reputations.

    Interesting post; I found an old Sears Leather Shop leather bomber jacket on eBay in mint/unworn condition for $75 and it’s identical to a Schott 674. Excellent workmanship and superb steerhide leather. It was a size 48 tall and fits me perfectly. A quick check on eBay today showed many vintage...

    Golden Bear vintage A2?

    Cool jacket. Very similar to 1980’s pre-distressed cowhide A-2’s sold by LL Bean, Banana Republic, etc. I think if you try to re-dye it you might end up with a hot mess since the hide was already made with a distressed finish and never had an even, solid uniform color to begin with. I would...

    Five Star Leather Jackets

    Five Star made a B-15D for me that was simply incredible. They produced the 1950’s silver-sage color material perfectly. I highly recommend them for their textile jackets (I also have a Navy 37J1, a B-10 and a B-15; all of them excellent reproductions).
