    This coat is up on the Bay, and although I have no intention of buying it, I'm wondering if it's authentic. Anyone?

    Filson bush jacket, size L (44-46), nwot... low starting bid

    Here's a Filson bush jacket, the last model before the cancelled them forever. Size is Large, which is equivalent to a 44-46. I have the official measurements for this model and the chest is supposed to be 27.5" with 36" sleeves, although I don't know if the jacket in this listing matches. The...

    Famous People in Flight Jackets

    45/P with the windflap, and a 70s vintage with the vertical stitching and square top (the 36/P never had a windflap). It's a very strange choice for a movie. I could see them using an MA-1, which were always popular and common jackets with civilians, but nomex must have been pretty rare in the...

    Flame resistance of leather?

    I'd be wearing one of those nomex firefirghter hoods, too.

    Flame resistance of leather?

    Here's a good video which compares nomex, cotton, and cotton/poly flight suits. The key is the full immersion in flame, not just a lighter or blowtorch at one spot. Note how the nomex self-extinguishes when the flames go away, which is one of the primary benefits of the stuff.

    Coldest Weather I've been in

    ^ The wind seemed to have slowed down a bit when I was out to Longos to get lunch with a co-worker. Nevertheless, it's a taste of things to come. Our receptionist was driving back from Lower Canada on the weekend and she got stuck in whiteouts on the 401 on Sunday evening. She had to spend the...

    Coldest Weather I've been in

    It's been hovering just below, just above freezing for the last few days, but it's the non-stop wind which is making going outside uncomfortable. Four days of wind and counting. That's not normal for my area.

    Flame resistance of leather?

    Pics of what?? Burned up flight clothing? ha ha Firefighters are instructed to wash their clothing constantly, because all the "crap" that gets on and soaked into their clothing during an event can catch fire itself, even if the clothing is flame proof. Anyways, there's lots of videos and...

    Flame resistance of leather?

    If you go with leather make sure it's got a 100% cotton lining. I guess wool knits would be best, although perhaps nomex knits would be good if you're getting a custom jacket (nomex is available in green, blue, and black I believe). I remember seeing a company that was making leather A2 jackets...

    Flame resistance of leather?

    Nomex and aramid are not treated, the heat and flame resistance is a basic characteristic of the cloth itself. I'm pleased to see a firefighter post re this topic. Everything you've said matches what I've read from other firefighters and in reports on materials, etc. Everything burns, and...

    The Indiana Jones jacket. Much hype, little substance?

    It's worth pointing out that you have rather specialized measurements, so you got genuine custom fit, they didn't just slap it together based on a standard pattern.
