Comment by 'regius' in article 'A Tour of the National Museum of the United States Air Force'
It is quite amazing how the WW2 jackets thread stand up to time. It's known that pure cotton threads fall apart over time, my Sears/Ward leather jackets from the 70s tend come undone at seams while the leather is prestine, due to the use of cotton thread (vs. nylon/polyester blend), but A2 were...- regius

Engineer Boots, Harness Boots...
I see two main factors that obstruct the spread of the engineers, and they are intertwined 1. styling 2. limited sizing options (and when there are customizable choices the price goes way up). Unlike the more pointed roper/cowboy boots that historically can be worn (can pass as) dress shoes, the...- regius

The obstacle to teenagers getting hold of G1/A2 jacket is, even the vintage ones in thrift stores, are becoming harder to come by (forget about real A2, not even LL Beans or Sears/Schott can be found as easily as before).- regius

treating leather jacket
Difficult to provide recommendation without knowing the age and condition of the A2 leather. Having said to, having delt with many types of new and old leather and clothing items (including satchels), Leatherique (recommended by Aero) should be a safe option. It is favored by BMW crowd to...- regius

FS: Montgomery Ward Moc boots
It’s a great sadness to let these go. I worn vintage Ward snow boots, stunning carrot/orange color, thick cowhide with patented lace loop (yep lol). A large size 8.5E, fit most US9. I wear 8.5 & 9 in Red Wing & Whites & Alden’s, these fits large but secure. If you have wide feet these should fit...- regius
