Yes, I'm not a big fan of the out of control PC movement. I believe you should be able to speak your mind without the worry of hurting feelings. I am not a discriminator though and accept everyone, and would befriend anyone who is a decent person. I just think it looks pretty feminine for a guy...
No Murses please! With 2 to 4 pockets in my jackets and 4 pockets in my pants, I don't need a purse. Remember when men had an air (aire) of respect and wouldn't be caught dead carrying a purse? What about a nice backpack if you have too much to carry? If you are carrying a laptop bag without a...

I just saw "The Land Unknown" (1957) - A super cheesy 1950's Sci-Fi. It was entertaining but what really surprised me is they had original WWII jackets in the film. During the flight scene in the helicopter, The pilot wears an AN-J-4 or M-445 shearling. Also in an earlier scene, an actor is...
Nomex would be best. But leather, like nomex, will char and ash rather than flaming up and melting like nylon. Leather will work but consider the lining too. A cotton liner is much more flame resistant than a nylon liner, which could melt and flame up regardless of the leather on the outside.

Guys, the jacket is still available in case you missed it. A steal at $375! The 3.5 oz black Capeskin on this one is thick and soft. Probably the thickest Cape I have handled, and with the chrome tanning, should be durable for many years to come.

We have a nice 2.25 oz lambskin in black available at Headwind Mfg Co. It has a nice matte chrome tanned finish. It is no doubt the softest leather I have ever handled. This hide should hold up for many years of wear. It is not as robust as Steer, Horse, or Goat. I would say it is similar to...
