    Silverman's in the UK has a copy of those old Russian pilot's jackets LINK

    Mystery "A2" jacket

    What is Aerial Star's fit like, generally speaking? or do they only do custom work? I'm thinking of G&B, for example, which some people, myself included, seem to have to go down 2 sizes to fit right.

    Famous People in Flight Jackets

    That's one of my favourite films, for no reasons I can really articulate. And it's great to see an MA-1 being worn in a film, in fact McQueen takes the jacket off in only a few scenes, so this is a serious jacket movie! We have some more pics over on the MA-1 thread.

    It appears that Valley Apparel, which has the current contract for nomex USAF and USN jackets, is getting into the nylon biz with an MA-1, N3B and 45/P. Link below. http://valleyapparel.net/product-category/commercial-2/

    ^ Not a real flight jacket, but it's a good excuse to post a great photo of Kelly McGillis! (drool)

    Famous People in Flight Jackets

    Whilst digging through the photo section of the USAF website I came across some photos of Colonel Gail Halvorson who was the "Candy Bomber" during the Berlin Airlift (article). He's wearing a strange flight jacket in these photos and when I asked our own Atticus Finch to identify he speculated...

    Biker jacket

    Here "bikers" are a very specific group of people and most of them rarely ride motorcycles these days. I remember seeing one driving a bright red Lincoln Town Car as his daily driver, even in summer when he could have been on his motorcycle every day. I guess he could fit more guns and drugs in...

    Biker jacket

    I can't speak for the rest of the people here, but I flew fighters in WWII and WWI, plus Korea and Desert Storm, plus I've been to the moon (twice).

    Ebay lost the plot! Don't use the word 'style'.....

    The thing about this world is that the small government people like big government too, they just pretend they don't while they're in opposition. Anyways, I think many Americans will stop shipping outside the U.S. at some point. In fact, as a non-American, it's clear to me that e-Bay has sent...

    Biker jacket

    Warhol used to wear a Perfecto over a suit and t-shirt. I suppose another way to downplay the biker look would be to get one in brown... I have a book on leather flight jackets which is full of A-2 jackets but hidden among them is a brown Perfecto-style jacket that some USAAF pilot wore in...

    Leather Police Jackets

    NYPD jacket. I like the kick tab on the lower front skirts but it's a vintage jacket (1970s) and the current ones don't seem to have that.

    Coldest Weather I've been in

    I for one shall be grateful for the thaw (from -10C today up to +6C this coming Saturday) since I don't have my snow tires on yet and I can't go anywhere otherwise (1997 MX-6, it's useless on anything other than dry paved roads). But you're right that flooding could turn Buffalo's mess into a...

    Coldest Weather I've been in

    This has got to be record setting for Buffalo, even though you guys often get bad snow. Remember the one a few years back that shut down the whole city for 3 days? At least you have power this time as Stearman notes! Here's some more pics and videos...

    Coldest Weather I've been in

    You're right that at some point it doesn't really feel colder, even though it is. Layering is the key. And you're right about wet cold weather being worse than below zero snow weather - once you're wet and cold you're screwed, whereas in below freezing I wear boat shoes and thick socks and I'm...
