    Very sad how Gus met his final fate, in an O2 rich capsule, screaming and clawing at the hatch while flames engulfed him and fellow astronauts Ed White and Roger Chaffee.

    Steve McQueen/Porsche Leather Jacket

    Sadly, that is fact. Not necessary though, as McQueen was coolness personified.

    Bed, Bath & Beyond carries some nice hangers. That is where I bought mine.

    Best hanger options for your leather

    I just wad mine up in a ball, throw it up on the closet shelf. You know, getting that "well worn, 50 mission" look. Don't want to look like a FNG.

    In addition to bad taste, they are color blind when it comes to fashion...and my wife is from Tokyo.

    Original handpainted jacket patch A-2 etc

    If you would like to step up a grade, contact Sean Collins. He does layered leather patches, not painted. They have a 3-D effect and are really nice. A bit more expensive, but worth the extra cost! He has done work for me and pics have been posted on this forum. a2jacketpatches@gmail.com For...

    When is a 50% off sale not a sale?

    You'll be the first to know if I find another deal!

    Ah yes, a couple of Charles Heston's best!

    When is a 50% off sale not a sale?

    Yes, a scam that has been perpetrated for ages by retail establishments. As in the case of Leather Coats Etc., their old regular price of $285 for the A-2 and G-1 was a very fair price. And the quality of the jacket is very good...I bought one and at least one (two?) others on this forum...

    When is a 50% off sale not a sale?

    When "Leather Coats Etc." advertises a 50% sale, that's when. I bought an A-2 last spring from them at 30% off, which was about $228, with free shipping. The regular price was $285. Today they are having a 50% off sale, but the sale price is $285. This was their full price only weeks ago. They...

    From the picture, I would say yes. This is a great movie, with the direction and backing of Kirk Douglas and produced by Mike Douglas.

    Custom leather patches

    These are not painted (the 5" patches), but made from individual pieces of cut and dyed leather. I think Sean is about the only person who does this.

    Custom leather patches

    I can highly recommend Sean Collins for custom patch work. He has done a couple for me, both of which turned out very nice.
