    Real USN Pre-WW-II Flight Jacket?

    I'm sure the smart money will say it's just a movie jacket whipped up by the costume department, and they'd probably be right. But on the other hand it does have some details which predict the G1 jackets: bi-swing back, sewn-down waistbelt at back, scalloped and buttoned pocket flaps, the...

    Old pair of ww2 AN-T-35 USAAF trousers

    Dumpster would tear you a new hole and frankly he'd be right. Why do shearling jackets which look like they've been run through a wood chipper, stomped on by a herd of cattle, and pissed on by drunks in the alley behind a skid row bar get treated as historical relics to be repaired at any and...

    Warm weather jackets

    Members Only cotton blend, light and with some rain resistance. Most of the time it's too hot in the summer here in Canada for jackets.

    Michael, of all the coats you've posted, this is the one I'd keep (if you intend to thin out the closet a little). I've got too many coats too, including a BB polo coat which I've never worn. Oh well. I try not to think about things like having too much of something one likes.

    Show Us Your OVERCOATS

    It's almost impossible to lengthen clothing like this, first because there will be a fold ironed into the cloth which will show, and second because the older the coat the more the outside will have faded from sunlight meaning if you drop down cloth from inside the cuff it will be darker...

    Michael, do NOT shorten the sleeves on that coat. They're the perfect length for an overcoat, which should have sleeves long enough to cover up (with room to spare) your suit jacket and shirt cuffs. In fact, I've noticed the sleeves on some of your other overcoats are actually a bit short.

    US Bomber Jackets

    Sloan (with all due respect) is comparing what is clearly a modern-fit A-2, probably following current USAF regs, versus a WW2 reproduction. It's not a fair comparison at all. I've posted a buttload of recently-taken photos of USAF personnel wearing A-2 jackets, ones issued from stores, but I...

    De-itching Pendleton shirts?

    You have two options: (1) wear something underneath the shirt, or (2) don't wear the shirt at all.

    Biker jacket

    I think it was Monitor who said somewhere, I think in a different thread, that many of Schott's jackets have a flare at the bottom. Below is a comparison of a vintage Schott (top row) versus a modern-day/recent Schott (bottom row), both are Regular length. Note how the older jacket has no flare...

    Or maybe he's right, and Fed Loungers are wrong? When it comes to modern A-2s, Ford's fit is consistent with jackets worn by USAF people.

    A-2 at lower price point?

    22" on a size 42 is too small. Just get a smaller size. Women want vanity sized clothing, not men. If you want a 22" chest then you're a size 40, not 42. Given that it's G&B, I'm surprised the measurement isn't 26"...
