    Looking to buy an A-2 jacket, opinions...

    I think both would be acceptable. http://smg.photobucket.com/user/flieger/media/Col.jpg.html

    False Valor/ Walter Mitty

    Depends on the jacket, and on the era your patch are from. I have no problem with someone wearing an A-2, G-1, MA-1, L-2 or whatever with patches from WW2/Korea/Vietnam. This, to me, is paying respect to those guys, not trying to pass for a veteran. I agree with Otter on the ranks/combat awards...

    Red Tails. Fact or Fiction?

    Well, Spitfire already told you about Dark Blue World and the Battle of Britain. Both of them are really good, specially BoB. I love those old, non CGI movies! Here's a couple I'd really recommend: - Tora! Tora! Tora! : Not an aviation movie per se, but really great flying scenes in this...

    Patch placement on MA-1 jackets?

    Check this out! http://dogfighthistory.be/Dogfighthistory/Robin_Olds_files/9__$!@!__inconnu.jpg Not flight jackets, but the patches on the flight suit may give a good idea about the placements used...

    Patch placement on MA-1 jackets?

    Totally agree with you on the iconic status of the MA-1! Would be interesting to see the patches you've got on hands. Another few links: http://www.thirdlooks.com/wp-content/Images/FEB13/ma-1-history-1.jpeg https://jetpilotoverseas.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/254083.jpg...

    Patch placement on MA-1 jackets?

    Here's a full load of Vietnam era L-2B jackets. Those will give you great examples on how to patch your jacket. http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a255/MARKHITCOM/VN%20uniform/L2B_ref1.jpg BTW, I don't think the MA-1 was widely used there, way too hot for the tropical climate. An L-2B would...

    Aero Leather Zippers

    Guys, thanks for the informations! I think I'd go with a regukar zipper when time will come, as I don't want to be bothered by a zipper! ^^

    Aero Leather Zippers

    Thanks for the head up! Problem is, I still don't fully understand what a hookless zipper is, what's the difference with a regular one. The only thing I understood is that they are sort of a pain in the a$$ to zip.

    Aero Leather Zippers

    Hello folks, Can you please tell me what's the difference between the regular Talon zipper and the Hookless Talon zipper? What would be the best to use on a 38-1711-P A-2?

    A2 Length

    I can't agree with you, Big J. With my 195cm height, 26 inches is way above my belt... Have a look at this Aero 38-1711: http://www.aeroleatherclothing.com/product-detail.php?id=2180 Sleeve length is 25', body length is 27', and the jacket doesn't look out of proportions at all.

    A2 Length

    At 6'4", with long legs, I mostly wear relatively low rise jeans. Therefore, to cover the belt, I need 28 inches in the body, or 28.5.

    Couldn't agree more! :-D Will try to get some picture when the mods are all done.

    Show us your Guns!

    Best present ever, if you ask me ;-) I don't know if they were issued with the 30rds, but there's pictures of US soldiers in Korea and Vietnam with M1 and M2 with 30rds, as well as some french soldiers in Indochina. I guess most of them must have been M2, but the M1 will do for some fun. Plus...

    Took this baby home about two weeks ago: http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=78495920141127175211.jpg USM1 carbine, built by Saginaw by the end of '43. It has the original flip up sight, as well as high wood hand guard. The only non original part is the 3rd type barrel band with bayonet...

    Love their "Punk" denim, would be glad to put my hands on one! I also love the Dungarees, but high waist doesn't do it for me.

    24.5 inches for a long size? You must be kidding me...

    Alpha G-1

    Because I can't find any real stuff with sleeves long enough for me. Or if they are, it's a size I'll float in...

    Alpha G-1

    Please do a little review when you receives it, could be a good cheap beater G1!
