    Famous People in Flight Jackets

    Great pics, guys. I think it's interesting to see a lightweight sheepskin jacket (model?) in a film, they always seemed to use the heavier B3 instead.

    USAF N-3B parkas - Let's talk about them!!

    ^ excellent gift, practical! Here's Don D Davies in the credits to Stargate SG1, that television series. He wears an N3B parka for a short period in an episode in the first season.

    Indeed. I was actually kinda looking forward to the hand wash thing, but it's probably better this way.

    USAF N-3B parkas - Let's talk about them!!

    ha ha, your jackets are too big for Dumpster and me, so you're safe. I really like N3A details, especially the exposed cuff knits and the longer wind flaps. Given a choice I'd rather have an N3A than an N3B, but only if I could find a good one that didn't break the bank account. Here's an...

    Thanks for the comment, I'm glad to hear these oldie jackets actually perform. Sometimes old stuff is just that, old, and it's not always better than new stuff.

    Restoring a vintage G-1/M422-A as a project

    ^ I think Canadians are going to be surprised at how similar the new federal government is on many issues (esp economics) to the last federal government, much like Obama's admin stayed much of the course of the Bush admin. That being said, governments have much less control over things like...

    Restoring a vintage G-1/M422-A as a project

    ^ I think we're looking at $1.50 soon. For me, our weakening dollar has basically ended U.S. purchases (of any size) for the foreseeable future.

    FS: USAF vintage N2B, Skyline 1962, size Large

    For sale one USAF N2B parka, size Large, made by Skyline in 1965 (as per Atticus). There are a number of condition issues and some good and bad points which I describe below. I’ve included photos from the guy who originally sold it to me, but please rely on my descriptions. Basically, this thing...

    Get Dumpster to do it, if you don't have the skills yourself. It's clear from the thread below that he knows what he's doing. http://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/still-looking-for-cuffs-and-waist-for-g-1-jacket.75152/

    road less traveled for jacket nuts? the N-2B flight jacket...am i crazy 4 loving it?

    N2B 1962 Skyline arrived today. No smells, but a bunch of dark stains on the hood and back which have made the nylon very stiff in those spots. The pile lining to the hood is soft, so the stains didn't mess up the pile. Part of the fur trim is gone and a couple small clumps came off in my hand...

    Leather Police Jackets

    Great info, thanks for posting. These are working jackets for police so they're a bit 'no-frills', if you know what I mean.

    Nomex Flyer jacket

    In my non-military experience nomex jackets will soak through pretty quickly, and the 45/P will soak up water. Also, cold wind goes through them. The only abrasion problems I've seen on my own jackets and other are the seams: the inside arm seams seem vulnerable to rubbing on the padded pockets...

    Coldest Weather I've been in

    That's a hard dollar, as they say. I've been there a couple times in winter on jobs, real estate so it meant schlepping around in the snow, so I have a sense of what you're experiencing - properly dressed, it's fine. However if there's any gap in your defenses, then it's no fun at all, ho ho...

    Coldest Weather I've been in

    I doubt shearling would be much use at those temperatures, even though it looks warm. What sort of job do you do that keeps you outside in Montreal for 10 hours at a time? (if you don't mind me asking)
