    IRVIN SEASON OPEN! (Time to get it out Gents)

    Youre risking some Dry rot and shrinkage that way though, its a double edged sword with leather and time, never forget that is the critical thing! Wearing it Wears it out, but also keeps it broken in and fresh...double edge sword.

    IRVIN SEASON OPEN! (Time to get it out Gents)

    This sounds like the problem happening with the Movie industry making war films with original uniforms, Like those M-44 Jackets they used in Private Ryan that got full of holes and wrecked because it was cheaper to use original Wartime clothes than to buy Repro uniforms. I have seen flight...

    I Like Using my homemade clone of a black Leather 50s B-1 Style Squadron hat over my ELC B-2 when it comes to more modern Made Jackets. I Use my B-2 cap Exclusively with the B-3 Jacket or D-1 or A-2 etc. Again, getting soiled quickly is not what I intended to do with my ELC7 B-2...was a lot...
