    Original Perry Mixed Batch B3

    I think what I'd like to do is try and find a museum that would be interested in buying the set. (Funny huh since museums are notoriously broke) I like to recoupe some of what I spent on it but I'm now emotionally attached and feel responsible for making sure it goes to a good place where it can...

    Original Perry Mixed Batch B3

    I had an interesting realization. I have never owned an original before, just reproductions. the more I hold and look at the original the more it really drives home the reality of the war, and unglorifies it for me. The man who wore this 70 some years ago was shot at wearing it, helped kill...

    Do you wear Original Wwii?

    I just picked up an original B3 which from what I can tell is in very wearable condition, yet I'm still torn as to whether I should wear it. Part of me says wear it, that's what it was made for dont let it die unused. The other part of me says don't you dare wear it keep it exactly how it is...

    Anyone have a US Authentic D-1?

    Does anyone have a US Authentic D-1 that they can give us your thoughts on? Maybe some photos and review. I'd really like to hear some first hand details about them. Is it worth it, or best save for higher tier D-1s?

    D-1 Project- Hide Dying Questions

    Howdy all, I'd like to try my hand at building a D-1 Mechanic jacket so I'm in the process of acquiring materials. One issue I was not anticipating was finding shearling hides in the correct color and length. So what I think I'm going to do is buy hides with natural skins and dye them myself...

    Ahhhh man that jacket looks so damn cool! I love when they look lived in and I hate when people fake it with that pre aged junk. Id save for a mixed batch Eastmsn B3 if it werent for that time worn crap they comes standard. I just got an ELC B-6 Standard last year and I wear that thing to death...

    Lemme see those sheepskins!

    Can you folks post pictures of the sheepskin flight jackets that you've had for a while. I'm one of those nerds that likes to see how they age, so if you've got a beat up old B3, B6, D1 ect. show them off folks! Who made them and how long ya had it?

    Redskin B3 Hides across brands?

    I've been kicking around the idea of a redskin B3 as a present to myself after I pay off my medical bills. I'd like one as accurate as possible. My question is, are the redskin shearling hides from Goodwear the same hides used by Aero? If so Id save the 600 bucks and go Aero. How historically...

    Hey gang, I'm trying to find 1940s and 1950s style t-shirts, I really like the collars on them, they are much different than modern tshirts thinner almost and the sleeves seem shorter too.
