    Was it an A-2 style leather name tag? On a half belt? That must be an interesting story....

    Seeking Help on Choosing a Civil Version A-2

    Armscye is right on about the older Banana Republic distressed A-2 jackets. They have a one-piece back, hand warmer side pockets and develop a cool patina. They even came in Tall/Long sizes (for those of us cursed/blessed with gorilla arms, LOL). I have one BR A-2 and also an older LL Bean A-2...

    They say they've decided to keep the lot. Too bad!

    Seeking Help on Choosing a Civil Version A-2

    You can usually find a decent one on the 'Bay at very reasonable prices. The older LL Bean A-2 jackets were rather nice and offered a one-piece back and side hand warmer pockets. Some had a built-in Thinsulate liner which was a nice bonus.

    Help..brown or tumbled?

    In the OP by Mark: Yesterday i finalized my order with Holly for a brown FQHH Highwayman in a 36, budget tartan lining, corduroy strip along the hem and no internal pockets (as not recommended by Aero). Why does Aero recommend NOT getting inside pockets on the Highwayman? Is it because...

    Bill Kelso Star A-2

    There is a major clothing manufacturer called "Aeropostale" (you find their youth oriented clothing in any mall in America) and most of their products just have "Aero" (in huge lettering) printed on them (baseball caps, t-shirts, polo shirts, etc). Aeropostale could probably lay claim to the...

    The Real, real Indy Jacket: Not What You Think

    https://www.icloud.com/photostream/#A25oqs3qGDAG35 I always thought that the "Indy-style" Oil Driller Roughneck jacket by The Cockpit was a great Indy option. Has an Indy front and a Half-belt back.

    The A-1 pockets

    Although there is a faint image of a painted squadron patch on the left chest of the 103rd Aero Squadron, an Army Air Corps unit (previously seen on Lafayette Escadrille planes in WWI).

    The A-1 pockets

    I think the BK jacket looks great and the fact that Andy can customize it to one's specifications is a major plus!

    Willis & Geiger NOS Original Pieces from the 80's

    They don't make Willis and Geiger anymore either. Much of their product line replicated 1930-1940 style clothing (including leather jackets). If someone doesn't like W&G clothing they are free to ignore a thread relating to it. Many of us are certainly interested! Just my two cents, gentlemen.

    Willis & Geiger NOS Original Pieces from the 80's

    Willis and Geiger gear is definitely collectible. No clothing/gear manufacturer had a more storied history then W&G and their products (even if produced in the 1980's) are still highly desirable.

    Which Hide Should I Choose?

    Seal brown with mid-brown knits is a classic combination for an A-2. Russet is a bit trickier since cameras don't always photograph it 100% accurately as far as reddish undertones or overall color depth and tonal nuance is concerned. I think I'd go with the seal. With a GW I don't think you'll...
