    Aero Wait times.

    I ordered my A-2 on the 25th of January and received it on Monday. Was advised at first that it would be somewhere between 2 and 3 months, but seen I was in contact with Holly almost every week (and I will never thank her enough for her patience to answer all my questions and for her great...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    After last week's snow, we're now back to a comfortable 15°C, with bright sunshine. So off to the good ol' Alpha L2 beater!

    Coldest Weather I've been in

    Today is around 1-2°C. We even had some snow yesterday. Snow by the end of April, in Belgium. What the hell is going on?!

    Nice B-15D's! Seen the last picture, this is about how my Alpha beater L-2 is fitting.

    1st cavalry SSI question

    I don't think any regular full color 1st Cav patch had a black border back then. The only way I could see this would be in-theatre made patches, or modern repro.

    1st cavalry SSI question

    Are you talking about the full color insignia or the subdued ones?

    Steve S M-422a Build Thread

    To be fair, the first thing that crossed my mind was: with someone as helpful and considerate with his clients as Steve S looks to be, that'd be somewhat a pleasure to hand him back the jacket for a few adjustments. I'm not sure I've ever seen some this dedicated to his customers. Kudos to you...

    ma1 collars and cuffs

    Hi Egan, By tradition, MA-1 were sage green 90% of the time. Of course, there are variations of sage green... From what you say, my best bet would be to go with these, as they are kind of a "desaturated" sage green: http://www.mash-japan.co.jp/oversea/cgi-bin/prd-eng.cgi?itemno=95-06-7525&ck=

    Buzz Rickson B-15 - pic heavy

    As long as it's covering the belt, it's fine! Do you have any fit pics with the jacket closed? Besides, what size is it?

    Buzz Rickson B-15 - pic heavy

    I'll simply second that. Same problem here, being tall and somewhat slender. Either it's balooning, either it's too short. Only light I can see in the B-15 territory is the Pike Brothers B-15A, if the size chart is correct.

    Sometimes, I wish I'd be a couple inches shorter so I'd be able to get my hands on a BR B-15 that fits!!

    Steve S M-422a Build Thread

    Saw Steve's pictures this morning on FB, and gosh, it looks really amazing! I especially love the grain of the leather, and the work on the collar. Waiting... Don't talk to me about waiting! :-D

    subdued patch on vietnam jackets

    Subdued divisional insignia were authorized in theatre as of 1966, but were not that common until 1967. But as for 1st Cav and other "proud" line units like 101st AB, they still sometimes tended to use the full color patches.
