    Nomex Flyer jacket

    If it had patch pockets, it would be almost like a modernized M-421.

    Sizing of Pike Brothers Jackets....

    Yes it's true. Still that way now with modern Navy deck jackets (both the windproof/flame-resistant version and the Mustang-brand floatation style jackets). The ship's name is often stenciled across the back.

    Sizing of Pike Brothers Jackets....

    I also have a PB blue Navy zip-front deck jacket; Looking at their size chart I fell between a L and an XL. I went with the XL since I wanted room for layering (still have nightmares about our last winter deep-freeze event!) and I have long arms (absolutely abhor sleeves that are too short)...

    Leather Jackets With Ties

    Personally, I think it's a great overall look! I usually go casual in my leather jackets but I do wear a shirt and tie with my A-2 or M-422 (G-1) at work.

    Aero's latest!!

    Yes Edward your fuzzy memory is quite correct. Starsky was the rough-around-the-edges, wear-anything, say-anything tough guy. Hutch was a bit more "refined". LOL. Looking back, most of us would definitely raid Starsky's closet for those original vintage clothes!

    Aero's latest!!

    I think the prop department raided all the local vintage stores for Paul Michael Glaser's "Starsky" wardrobe. I remember the character wearing lots of old leather jackets, an Army M-65 field coat and vintage jeans.

    Delivery Uniform?

    Try Quartermaster; they do police and security uniforms and have police-style visor hats as well.

    Aero's latest!!

    Starsky sometimes did wear a vintage G-1 on the show, so it wasn't all bad.

    "Starsky and Hutch" circa 1970's.

    My new M-422 Navy Jacket

    What a GREAT looking jacket! Just a bit of advice: when you start to sell jackets, please provide lots of detailed measurements for sizing purposes. It will avoid alot of e-mailed questions later on! And clear, close-up detailed photos of your jacket will help to sell your product. It looks...

    Thurston Italian Vicenza Horsehide Full Grain Veg.-Tanned Horsehide for Aero Jackets

    Not to interfere with trade secrets, but I wonder if this ubiquitous "Italian vegetable tanned, full grain leather" is the same tannery source that ELC and BK uses? Does each manufacturer specify different hides even if sourced from the same tannery (ala JC and RM specifying different finish and...

    Nametag on repro A-2 jackets

    Sometimes I wear a repro Brooklyn Dodgers baseball cap and I get some older guys who come up to me to say they were at Ebbetts Field and saw them play before they moved the franchise to LA. It is interesting to hear the stories and see complete strangers reminiscing about the Brooklyn Dodgers...

    Nametag on repro A-2 jackets

    Gentlemen, After reading through the interesting thread on painted A-2's, I was curious as to how people feel about adding a leather name tag to their repro A-2. Not leather rank tabs, nor shoulder patches or squadron insignia, just a simple "regulation size" leather name tag (presumably...
