Current Alpha Industries MA-1 "Classic" Review
I'm no longer sure what anyone posting here is trying to demonstrate. Is it that jackets should fit snug, or they should fit loose. Both are evidenced in photos. (This reminds me of the A-2 discussions, in which I suspect most people see a few photos which they like, but make the mistake of...- Doctor Damage

Leather Police Jackets
^ That looks really good, Thor. Side zips are a nice feature, as are the cuff buttons (very rare on modern police jackets). I bet the jacket would serve you well on your job, except all your passengers would be thinking you were the "Ferry Police"!- Doctor Damage

Current Alpha Industries MA-1 "Classic" Review
With respect, the originals were made in only a few sizes, so there was never a possibility of a "proper" fit. I've seen some significant differences in old photos.- Doctor Damage

Show Us Your OVERCOATS
I didn't realize this but the USMC is using wool greatcoats on parades, or in some instances anyways. Maybe Micheal will find one of these coats thrifting and we'll get to see some close-up photos.- Doctor Damage

My “New” ‘68 Peacoat!
Most military surplus stuff has a number size and a length. Although some items were only issued in Regular length, they usually still had an R next to the number. Letter sizing (S, M, etc) is a comparatively recent thing, although some vintage items, usually unfitted outerwear like raincoats...- Doctor Damage

Questions About the United States Navy Peacoat
I think the "blue" is b.s. and it's actually black, ha ha. And black comes is different shades believe it or not. Also that spec document I linked above is from 1988 and I imagine they've changed it since, but I haven't tried to find a newer spec (on the other hand, sometimes these things don't...- Doctor Damage

Trench Coat - the 'Ultimate' Thread!
Recently I picked up used a couple more trench coats. The first is a London Fog coat, all the trimmings except epaulets, made from a nice twill (not London Fog's usual poplin). This is a fine quality coat and nearly as good as my circa-2000 Burberry (no joke). This was one of those late-night...- Doctor Damage

Just shoot me a message via the forum here and provide a gmail or hotmail address or whatever you use.

The fact that you and I, who are much different body types, can both fit into CWU jackets demonstrates how forgiving the design is.- Doctor Damage
