    Current USAF Issue A-2s

    It kind of resembles my Dakota Outerwear jacket, which was made by Taylors Leatherwear, although maybe it's not. My point is that although everyone assumes that 100% of military leather jackets are made by one firm, I've read on a forum filled with military people that the supply chain is often...

    I just came across these photos on Getty Images. They were taken in 1942 in Goose Bay and show USAAF and RCAF personnel working together. If you look closely you'll see a variety of gear.

    I Want to Reduce the Thickness on a Mouton Collar

    Heck, it looks fine. I guarantee that nobody who sees you will pay any attention. They're more likely to look at the 1930s retro cap, which has no place with that jacket. Just live with the fur and realize that as you wear it the fur will eventually squish down (or try the water thing, as...

    Leather Police Jackets

    Philly motorcycle officers... for some reason they take perfectly good leather coats and paint on shellac or something to make them shiny. I have no doubt it shortens the life of the leather considerably. SFPD.

    my dry cleaner he cleans leather jackets

    I can never understand why some folks suggest putting a leather jacket into a washing machine. I realize some folks have gotten away with it, but geez, talk about rolling the dice!

    Famous People in Flight Jackets

    Not a famous person, but a scene from an old movie "The City That Never Sleeps". Note the A2 on the taxi driver... this seems a bit early for side entry pockets.

    Biker jacket

    I've run across several colour photos and the cap is always that tan colour, and the rest of the colouring is consistent too. I don't think all caps of the time would have been blue. I'm beginning to think he might have worn more than one jacket - perhaps a comparison of photos and the...
