    Just saw the new "Lowkinawa" boots by Pike Brothers, and I really dig that look!

    New Aero Cordovan Vicenza 1920's Work Coat

    Depending on the fit you want. If you're looking for a relaxed fit, well, you should keep it. If you're looking for a more trim fit, you could easily size down at least one size.

    A-2 ideas

    I must say Holly at Aero has been a real charm to deal with. She answered my multiple emails withing hours and was really helpful with all my questions regarding the sizing of the jacket and the different contracts. I was so pleased with the quality of the jacket and the service that one of my...

    Aero is good, indeed. The seal/rust combo is terrific, that's how I got my 42-18775? The goat sounds like a good option, supple and tough. The jerky HH is really nice in term of grain and draping, but the is somewhat "fragile". Might be a good thing if you're looking for a jacket that could look...

    Received my Pike Brothers 1923 Buccaneer shirt yesterday, and I think it's a wonderfull piece of workwear repro. I'll try to have some pictures to show here.

    US Authentic A-2 fit

    Agreed, the fit is great! Not too tight, not too baggy, just what you'd expect of a jacket issued by a quartermaster. Bang on!

    Cockpit "MA-1" Sun Faded model...

    @ButteMT61 , that's good to know. As if I needed another jacket... The one in red is quite tempting too, if unusual.

    Cockpit "MA-1" Sun Faded model...

    Really love the look of this one! I'm waiting to see the numbers on this one, as they advise to size up on their website. I guess it's a pretty "light" jacket, more like a L2?

    Warm weather jackets

    I'm wearing my A-2 from 15/20°C to 5°C with a sweater underneath. When it's hotter than that, I'll get back to my Alpha beater L2.

    Reissue A-2, Cockpit USA

    Indeed, they were! Either they were not working, or too hot, or overheating, causing small fires, or short-circuited, causing small fires... On top of that, they had to be worn below the shearling jackets and trousers, in combination with numerous other pieces of uniform.

    Reissue A-2, Cockpit USA

    As far as I can remember, only the cockpit and the nose had a heating system on the B-17. It used glycol up to the late -G models which used the turbochargers as an air heating exchange system. The rest of the crew positions had not heating but they provided plugs for the electricaly heated suits.

    Freddies of Pinewood 1950's jeans opinion.

    I do love cuffing the jeans! Wearing the Yard Boss with a good 4 inches cuff! If the 34 comes in with a 36 inseam, I'll go for them.

    Freddies of Pinewood 1950's jeans opinion.

    Indeed, that's my main grief too. I do love my 58 roamer pants, they are top notch quality, but now that I'm used to the Yard Boss, they're too low waisted for me. I should try another cut. Meanwhile, still looking for a new pair. I'm waiting for SOF to get back to me regarding the inseam on the...

    Males, do you part/manage your hair everyday?

    The hell did I just watched?! :eek:

    Freddies of Pinewood 1950's jeans opinion.

    Well, they sure do look nice, but as far as I can see, they only offer 34" inseam, which would be too short for me. Moreover, the price tag is a bit more than what I'm willing to pay for a pair of trousers.

    So do I! I should stop delaying this trip to their store in Köln. I've been eyeing the Engineer for some times too, as well as their grey wabash hunting pants.
