Wartime cartoons
I don't collect, but have got some Two Types kicking around, great stuff! Wrong war but also a big fan of Bruce Bairnsfather. Off topic, but as a kid in the '70's and early '80's I always had my nose in a 'Battle' comic, or a 'Commando' book... In fact I must have a couple of hundred still in... -

From 'Metropolis' if I'm not mistaken? Great film, one of my favourites :cool: -
Another beat up old flying jacket... (early G-1 this time)
So a rare beat up old flying jacket... That makes me feel a little bit better lol One big difference I've noticed between the Pitzker and Brill is the collar size. The Brill is larger and rounded, the Pritzker much smaller with pointed ends... Is there a G1 thread out there like the...- Mike1973

Another beat up old flying jacket... (early G-1 this time)
I think the pictures gave it away...:whistling But this is a 'MIL-J-7823 (AER)'.... isn't that after the 55J14? I did a quick search on VLJ but couldn't find much on G-1's. Only that the letter after the 7823 helps date it. My 68 Brill Bros is a 'D'. Is the (AER) on this Pritzker just...- Mike1973

The Cap Faction
Cheers apipeguy. It's vintage, I'm guessing '30's, but always difficult to pinpoint the age of these caps. Also it had lost it's lining. 'The Utican' stamped in the leather sweatband. I posted a few pics up when I bought it last year, do a search under Utican, you should find them. -
The Cap Faction
That's a great looking vintage cap Thunder! Is the sweatband leather as well? Material looks cream, but in the close up a very fine herringbone? Very smart! ukali, I'm catching you up in the beard stakes... -

IRVIN NUTS?...the ULTIMATE thread for those who love 'em!
It's scrubbed up very well Andrew! ;) Wasn't there a small rip from where the patch stitching had weakened the leather? How did you fix it? Oh, and after seeing the ebay listing I think this jacket should be called the 'Ervin' from now on!!- Mike1973

IRVIN NUTS?...the ULTIMATE thread for those who love 'em!
Hi Baron, This is the BSA Irvin. It definately gets the most wear. The leather is still pretty tough and strong, but also it's so heavily patched I'm not paraniod about damaging it... Cap is a vintage ebay bargain from last year. About $5 or something silly, the postage to the UK was...- Mike1973
