    And you can still score one of these for around $220. That is an extra 25% off, with free shipping. Can't beat that.

    Thursday Boot Company - Full Review

    The best thing about these Thursday boots is how they take a shine. The gloss is much deeper now than when they came out of the box. It's easy...first apply a light coat of polish, and buff to a shine. Then apply another light coat, spray a bit of water on the boot, and buff to a high gloss with...

    Thursday Boot Company - Full Review

    You leather nerds will like this. Thursday sources it's leather from Horween. The boots are hand crafted in Leon, Mexico, the cowboy boot capital of the world. Very comfortable, from day one. And these boots are half the price of what you would expect to pay for this quality.

    Thursday Boot Company - Full Review

    Update - got these puppies broken in now! And it was easy. Note how they shine up, with just a little polish and water. After you have tried the rest, come up to the best...Thursday Boots!

    Famous People in Flight Jackets

    In the TV Series, 12 O'Clock High, I noted he had a cigarette pocket on his sleeve. Also, he is either smoking, or lighting up in almost every scene. That no doubt was a major contributing factor to his untimely death.

    Alpha CWU 45/P Jacket?

    Why not get a custom leather or cloth nametag? It looks far better than what Alpha has. And you can get any color you wish. https://www.nametags4u.com/

    A-2 ideas

    Owning a U.S. Authentic jacket gives me first hand experience with their quality, and fit. Not only that, but their customer service is exceptional. I thought this was an open forum, to encourage the exchange of ideas. Not to slam another person's thoughts, ideas, or suggestions. How about you...

    Before you make a final decision, you owe it to yourself to contact Shaul at U.S. Authentic via email. They have so many options...leather choice, colors, features, etc. The quality is top notch! They might even have a standard off the rack A-2 that would be exactly what you are looking for...

    Excelled Sheepskin and Leather Company G-1 Jackets

    And that is why, in a word...nomex! Bought two nomex jackets, summer weight and winter weight. Although, I have been told (and saw videos) that leather is a good protector in flash fires. The knits? Mine are blends (mostly). I think a couple of my leathers may have wool knits, however. Always...

    I would contact Shaul at U.S. Authentic. Send him an email, ask questions about sizing, options, etc. He is prompt at answering, and very helpful. I bought a G-1 from him. Very happy with it. If I ever get a custom made jacket, it will be from U.S. Authentic (www.flightjacket.com)

    If you are looking to spend $750 (U.S. dollars), I would suggest custom made U.S. Authentic A-2 in horsehide, or goat. They promise that you will be happy, and will work with you to make that happen. www.flightjacket.com

    Here is an update. These boots are breaking in much easier than I had anticipated. Wearing them every day now, on errands and short walks. Just love these!

    Nomex Flyer jacket

    Got 2 of these. A Valley CWU-36P, and an Alpha CWU-45P. Both brand new, both nomex. They both fit like a glove! Almost like they were made for me. Very typical B-15 type of fit.

    Excelled Sheepskin and Leather Company G-1 Jackets

    The G-1 referred to actually was the U.S. Authentic. But, lets throw the U.S. Wings in there too. And, why not my Alpha G-1!
