    Needing a first class baseball cap

    Thanks! Just give in and do it, Pawineguy. You will not regret it. I wasn't so sure at first, but the moment I opened the package … WOW! I wish I could show you the cap and let you feel the quality. I'll never buy anything but Ebbets Field after this. PS. And in the interim time, I also...

    Needing a first class baseball cap

    As a follow-up to my question so long ago, I wanted to say a big thank you to you guys here for pointing me in the direction of Ebbets Field baseball caps. And after a long (and enjoyable) hunt, I finally settled on a cap that was just right for me - and one that would go perfectly with my Aero...

    Is my Aerial Star jacket too short??

    I'd agree with HD - that's it's hard to tell from one photo. I mean, if I was asked to judge how tall you are, looking at you beside the refrigerator, I'd guess around 6'8" - a regular pro basketball player height - which I'm sure you aren't. Cameras are funny that way - I've just finished...

    New info on the Amelia Earheart mystery?

    I just saw this and, although it acknowledges the conspiracy theorists around the mystery (and I'll admit to not knowing much about this), it sounds interesting …...

    3 questions about my A2 from the real mccoy's

    Silicone dry lube for bike chains!!! Brilliant idea, AdecC and Navetsea! I've had it around my bike tool box for 20 years and it's never occurred to me to try it on a sticky zipper ! DOH! That's thinking outside the bun stuff. Definitely the better option.

    Well, it is for me … but I suppose that IF the first Irvin you ever saw was Field Marshal Montgomery's (his was a Devon fleece type - with that distinctive thick curly wool) and that simply defined what an Irvin should look like to you and you always desired one, and if you've got plenty of...

    It's worse than that. 1600 pounds. It's the Devon fleece. Rather rare, apparently - so it's a premium price. Oh, plus Tax. Shipping. Duties. Handling fee. Black eye from the girlfriend.

    Somehow, I don't see a mid-life crisis in your future …! Oh, to fly in a P-51 like that ... You're living the dream. Good for you.

    Panther tank and 88mm Flak gun removed from a home in Germany!

    Ha!Ha!Ha! Classic. Haven't seen that in years. Such a subtly clever and witty script … thanks for the smile there, Stearmen.

    I agree, Sloan. For me, the old site was clearly influenced by The Golden Book's branding style in terms of colour and presentation - and this is a complete departure and an evolution away from it. I like it. It feels much fresher. For me, the only thing missing is in the movies section - no...

    3 questions about my A2 from the real mccoy's

    You could try some dry-lube for the zipper - the graphite type used for sticking locks. A light dust of that might help …? No harm in trying that. But I have a NOS Talon that can become misaligned if I don't pay full attention to engaging the male/female parts - so I've learned not to do it on...

    Sorry to hear it's not running well at your end, Big J - it's running very fast and neat for me on my Mac! Hey, check out the sneak peek of the Patton B-3 in the Blog section. Nice!!! And he has stockists in China?! Wow. That's a bit like a salmon swimming upstream …!

    I'm glad you picked up on that one, Big J. Ze accents are hard to do on here!

    Buck Starr Legend A2

    If it makes you feel any better about the lining, I opted for a heavier twill (in a beautiful chestnut brown) for my Aero ANJ-3 as I fully expected to keep it for many years and I didn't want the lining to thin on the usual wear areas, namely the shoulders and neck. It's a great material and...

    Great pants to go with an A2 or similar - on sale!

    Just thought I'd throw this out there. I bought two pairs of these as I live in cargo pants and I needed something more durable than my Eddie Bauer flight cargo pants - which look and fit great, but I've worn them out as the cotton is really weak and I've spent as much repairing them as it cost...
