    My X-mas Present to myself.

    Pics soon I promise promise! I reluctantly Ebayed myself a Cagleco Sportswear G-1 Jacket showing Signs of Real Flight hours on it. It went on sale for a one day premium offer so I sweat some bullets, picked up my Marbles and dropped the hammer down. The wait...the wait was arduous, daunting...

    Sizing question concerning B3 jackets

    The whole trick is Layering up with one of these so I would Argue getting a size or two up from your actual size is not a bad idea. I fit a size 40 like a glove if we are talking about a G-1 from the 60s-70s, but the Avirex B-3 Repro Fits me optimal of all others in size 46, while the willis and...

    Alpha MA-1

    I have a Real oldschool Alpha N2-B and a current Alpha N2-B. They are both Size Large but the old one is basically shorter and more uniform, the new one has room to spare and is much less tailored looking but lighter, The original one is almost *too* nice to wear out.

    Neutralise the smell

    Yeah, I heard this Washing machine would do it, I cant disagree, but this is an Original A-2, and its risky business if you ask me with original Jackets, especially ones with holes etc, I have done this with a 1960s Leather U of T Jacket and it worked well, but the finish on the leather was...

    Willis and Geiger B-3 jackets.

    Well, Im pretty sure its The neatsfoot oil I put on the Avirex Jacket Last winter still. what Im going to do is wait! before I do any washing.
