    Flag on flight jacket---anyone clear this up for me?

    Really? Man...now I need to go watch that. I'm pretty sure I have it. Thanks for the heads up!

    Rider Boots Made in Italy Mouton Lined WW2 Pilot Boot "Inpired"

    Those look great! Are they sized like regular shoes, or military boots? I want to order a pair, but don't want to get the wrong size.

    Flag on flight jacket---anyone clear this up for me?

    Thanks, Stand! It's my first HH jacket, and I'm really anxious to try it out. Luckily, Alaska is jacket weather about 10 months out of the year. You're right about the bazaar patches; I've seen that kind of thing in the Middle East for the units that were deployed there.

    Flag on flight jacket---anyone clear this up for me?

    Oh, ok. Thank you, guys. I appreciate the heads-up. I like the way it looks, but didn't want to be "that guy" walking around wrong. JB

    Flag on flight jacket---anyone clear this up for me?

    For the consideration of the group: Is this kind of flag correct on a WW2 flight jacket? I don't recall ever seeing one before, though it has the correct number of stars. I can't tell whether it looks wrong because they were just uncommon on the shoulder, or because I'm used to the one I...

    Check out ELC's new-look website!

    I think the site works much better now than the old one. I don't go to the Eastman site often, since I have to order through the HPA, but I do like the new look.

    "WW2 Leather Sqd/Group Patches" facebook page !!!!!!!!

    I just ordered two of these patches from my grandfather's squadron, and I can't wait to see how they turn out. The work on the others looks great.

    Buck Starr Legend A2

    Edward: No, I just neglected to post the link. Sorry about that. It's here: http://www.buckstarrlegends.com/ The knits do have a seam, and it's directly in line with the seam of the sleeve, which I think has a nice, symmetrical look. The knits are very solid, actually. They don't feel flimsy...

    Buck Starr Legend A2

    Stand By: I came to the same conclusion, actually. I think that the twill should be warmer than the liner in my others and it feels really tough. You're right, I think, about adding patches. I'm thinking of doing just that. Navetsea: You're correct, it's goat. Feels rather thick, too.

    Buck Starr Legend A2

    Nick, I liked that interest in history also; it reminds me of my own. I was raised by my great-grandparents and grew up on their stories about the depression and the war years. You know, there's no reason you couldn't do some of your school work on the uniforms of the time. It's actually really...

    Buck Starr Legend A2

    Seb & Hoosier: I don't know too much about the maker (Charles), other than the discussion we had when sorting out this jacket. He seems to be a nice fellow, though. I've been wearing it all morning and the fit is just a tiny bit tighter across the back than my Eastman, but not restrictive in...

    Buck Starr Legend A2

    I wrote a post recently about looking for an A2 for my brother's birthday. After much debate and web-searching, I found a company called "Buck Starr" and ended up ordering their 'Legend' jacket. It arrived in 3 days (I live in Alaska, or I assume it would have been here a day sooner) and came in...

    Thanks, Nick. I'm going to hate to see it go, but I can't see it just sitting in the closet for the next however many years.

    Wow. That's exactly how I think an A2 should fit. ******....I may wind up with another jacket, when I'm trying to clean out the closet.

    Ebay A2

    UPDATE: I tried multiple times to contact the Belgian company, but they refused to get back to me, so I went elsewhere. I went ahead and ordered one from a company called Buck Starr Legends. I've never heard of him prior to this, but as soon as it arrives I'll post a review. The owner was...
