    Is my leather jacket too big?

    Nope. You seem to have a long, slender frame - and the jacket emulates your build IMO. It fits you great. Wear it with confidence. :)

    Apollo's Bomber Jacket from BATTLESTAR GALACTICA

    You can see my verdict on it on Amazon.ca and Amazon.co.uk - under "Horrific". Yes, it's worth 3 quid just to see the jackets and theatre-made patches. The costuming is the one good thing about it (and it's very authentic IMO). But you'll also need a large scotch to go with it. And some...

    Wow! I do find that hard to believe ... (but I do if you're saying it). Shame on him all the more then.

    Apollo's Bomber Jacket from BATTLESTAR GALACTICA

    Amen, brother! George Lucas simply got lucky with Star Wars that first time and it was all downhill from there. Have you seen his final atrocity "Red Tails" ? His fingerprints are all over that ... it's just horrendous.. Quite simply the worst war film I've ever seen. Period.

    Restoration of the "Memphis Belle"

    Fantastic article, thanks for posting Worf! It's amazing to see the B-17 in such a unique way - in all its components. I'd never seen inside the ball turret either - how frightening would THAT be ?! To have your back against the turret - with all the flak and shells going off on the other side...

    Alexander Leathers

    Oh, and I can tell you all that I had an unbelievably brilliant repair done on my ELC RW B3 by Kelly at AL. The collar had torn right through (!!!!!). But Alexander Leathers rode to the rescue and saved my jacket and did a sublime job. I couldn't be happier with them. I'll post the...

    "How Hot Is It"

    Give me -40C over +40C any day. At least I can do something about that - and wear an extra layer. And -40C makes me feel alive, you know? It shocks the system and it's all a bit exciting (plus I get to wear the gear that suits me best, I think) ... But this?!? It's the wretched humidity! I just...

    Apollo's Bomber Jacket from BATTLESTAR GALACTICA

    About twenty years ago, a friend of mine went to one in Belfast. Another attendee, a member of the official club (they're all organised into starships, with ranks, correct uniforms etc) challenged my friend (a non-club member) over his right to wear Captain's rank. Really quite wound up about...

    Apollo's Bomber Jacket from BATTLESTAR GALACTICA

    Now THAT had me laughing out loud (I've not seen the latest series) !!! What a good way to start the day. The most consistently funny and wittiest show ever IMO. And did you see the one with Amy and Sheldon playing "Doctors and Nurses" - the way Sheldon wanted it - and he's lying on the couch...

    Apollo's Bomber Jacket from BATTLESTAR GALACTICA

    What an interesting website there, Brettafett ... Did you see the Original Star Trek uniforms for the ladies? The blue science officer one? I can think of a few ex-girlfriends who could have pulled that look off ... Hellooooo Nurse! Ha!Ha!Ha!Ha! Oh, yes ... the jacket. Yes, it looks good to...

    Is more than one A2 being a bit excessive?

    Indeed. But oh, so worth it.

    Really?! What, like a B&B, you mean?! Fantastic! What a way to spend a long weekend that must be ... and one to remember. Well ... maybe not so well .....! ;-)

    And I hope there was some "Peat Monster" in your inheritance ... IMHO, it's marvellous! And even finer than Laphroaig!

    Is more than one A2 being a bit excessive?

    Thanks there - always nice to hear from you - and absolutely. The jacket is unusual as, from the photos, it has grey zips (!!) - which upon closer inspection are RiRi - and the throat buckle is grey too, not nickel - the same as the zip! And the ELC label is a more modern type that I've never...
