First up is a TFL Special order Bluegrass Green Campdraft, size 56. These CD's were a special edition created for Loungers a few years ago in Bluegrass Green with 2 1/2" brims, and a bronze liner. This example has hardly been worn and creased in a simple center dent, can easily be popped out and...
Yes, lots of controversy over it. Once the news got out that Steve was doing the Crystal Skull hats the orders went through the roof and he was totally overwhelmed. He originally told me 6 months, which I didn’t actually believe. I think it was about 28 months until it actually showed up.

Absolutely, make the trip to Eastman if you can swing it! The extra duty, taxes, exchange rate that you would encounter from HPA to Canada would more than pay for the trip to Eastman. It's in my plan the next time I get over there.

FAI jackets were decent, but certain not high end repos. I’ve got an A2 and it’s a very solid, good fitting jacket. Some of the details are a bit off, but i only paid $80 Canadian (about 50 pounds) for it.

Maybe all of us local Ontario folks should plan to get together for a flight next year. I did the B 17 Yankee Lady when it was at the Jet museum in London a couple years ago, would love to fly in the Lanc.

Hi Noah,
Welcome aboard.
1. This is not a proper A2, more like an 1980's "mall jacket". There were tons of makers of these types of jackets in that time, almost none are accurate, more loosely based on an A2.
2. Value, Maybe $100, if it doesn't fit you there's not much to do, sell it off and...
One of the reasons I didn't move to North Florida a few years ago! I can live with snow storms, just pack in some extra food, light the fire and wait it out, the house never blows away.
At one time Belstaff was high quality motorcycle and field gear, not so much anymore. The company was bought out and now leans more towards the high dollar fashion crowd, without the substance it once had. Lots of better choices out there for your money, although that particular style may be a...
I often wear an Aero D-1 in winter, when it get's really cold I pull out the Eddy Bauer B-9 goose down parka. I have an Aero B-3, but honestly, the parka beats it hands down in any weather that's cold enough to warrant it, so the B-3 doesn't get much action.

The Golbal shipping system is major ripoff. They decide what to charge for shipping, they collect the taxes and import duties up front, for the receiving country, and it takes twice as long to be processed. I refuse to bid on items that are listed as using this system.

I've done a lot of travelling in the past 6 months, by car and plane, all over Canada, the US and Mexico, pretty much had my GW steer A2 with me every trip. Flying to Oregon this morning, weather is typical NW spring, cool and wet, packing an oilskin Irish Setter this time, light weight, lots of...
Tandy Leather Craft sells Kydex by the sheet. https://www.tandyleather.com/en/search/?sSearch=kydex
Might not be your most economical choice if your're looking for a lot, but good to test out your design.

Agreed, but there's no way I'd pay 10 times the money for a current production knock off from Cockpit. There stuff isn't bad, but it's not a $500 jacket!
