    Leather Cult

    Just wonder if anyone here has heard of this company? They actually custom fabricate leather jackets (and other items). I have been emailing them with questions, and they are responsive. But, it would appear that a classic A-2 or G-1 is not something they do on a daily basis. But tell them what...

    MA-1 Flight jacket

    Funny thing...on my last Tokyo trip, the only people I noticed wearing MA-1's were young 20 something chicks.

    Thursday Boot Company

    Thanks! That is the info I was looking for. The order will be placed Monday. Do the sizes run small? I wear a 10D in all shoes, so should I order a size 10?

    Thursday Boot Company

    Good to hear your opinion of Thursday. I am waiting to hear from them, but maybe you could answer the question...can the tongue be opened up all the way to allow your foot to slide in, or is it stitched way up near the top of the boot?

    Thursday Boot Company

    I have emailed a couple boot companies, inquiring about the instep, and tongue stitching. Thursday Boot offers free shipping, and free returns. Waiting to hear back from them. My friend, Mustang Pilot G. Kent Holiday, wears nomex racing shoes.

    Thursday Boot Company

    I'm looking for a pair of good boots that would work for flight use. The plan is to wear these with my nomex flight suit while flying the Mustang. My issue is that my instep is high. Several pairs of boots from various manufacturers have been tried, but I could not get my foot into any of them...

    A Review - U.S. Authentic G-1

    Having this jacket for a number of days now, I like it more each time I put it on. No, it is not perfect, but real close. The shoulder could be an inch narrower. Other than that, it is what was hoped for. The leather has an aroma, but unlike the Cockpit USA leather aroma. Not bad, just a bit...

    A Review - U.S. Authentic G-1

    Fit pics...no, I won't win any beauty contests here! U.S. Authentic G-1. For reference, I am 5' 11", and 175 lbs. Soon to be 170 lbs. Jacket size 40R.

    US Authentic A-2 fit

    As this is a form follows function design, I guess most will be happy with the modern fit of A-2's. Seeing as how few (if any) of us will find the need to extricate ourselves from flaming wreckage headed downhill like a runaway freight train.

    EAA B-17 Experience

    Who was the pilot of the -17 when you went for a flight? Kent Holiday, by chance? He is a good friend of mine. I also grew up watching the great TV series 12 O'Clock High. Robert Lansing was awesome in the leading role as Gen. Frank Savage. While I like Paul Burke, he was never quite up to the...

    Jacket (A-2, G-1) alterations?

    I'm as nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs. edit: I just did a search on shoulder alterations. It is very common, not that big of a deal. But the tailor has to be good, and know what he is doing. A bit complicated, so it can be $$$.

    Jacket (A-2, G-1) alterations?

    Just called the tailor. Don assured me that altering the shoulder will not impact the chest measurement.
