    Current USAF Issue A-2s

    I posted that and it says nothing about male/female. I think that's a good common sense point.

    Current USAF Issue A-2s

    I agree with this interpretation. I doubt even a single second was spent considering how to accommodate female service personnel. I suspect the "new, baggy" version came into being because when the USAF decided to re-introduce the A-2 in the late 1980s(?) they sourced the jackets from civilian...

    Current USAF Issue A-2s

    Atticus in his post a few posts back made the definitive post about the Great A-2 Fit Debate. As for the uni-size theory/"theory", nobody here has any evidence for it, so at this point it's a conspiracy theory.

    Famous People in Flight Jackets

    Here's a guy named James Neely who builds replica small-scale but flyable aircraft. The link is a bank advert but it's interesting. He's wearing a Rothco CWU nylon jacket in the ad.

    Women's leather jackets

    Short jackets like this look great on reasonably slim women, much better than on men. If men are to wear short jackets they need to fit a lot better. That's very true... and it's always good to remind ourselves that selling a lot of mid-quality fashion jackets brings in the $$$ which allows...

    Raincoat fit question

    Let me second Mathematicus. The length sounds about right for outerwear, esp if you need it to repel bad weather. If it was a fancy cashmere overcoat or something along those lines then you'd want the sleeves a bit shorter, but on a raincoat longer is better for protection. What about 1/4" too...

    ^ good stuff... you need a scarf!... really like herringbone myself, it can come in a tight, heavy version (like your coat appears to be) or in a thinner version, looks good either way and good at repelling water

    Coldest Weather I've been in

    That's what my family over there said (they originated here in Canada). They said it's a lot of snow for people who've mostly seen snow only in a snow globe! We got around 8" overnight. It's a winter friggin' wonderland today!

    15-20 cm of snow tonight, predicted. I'm not holding my breath waiting for it, but I'm sure we'll get something significant.
