    What is an action back?

    Welcome to the Lounge! Nice to have you in this forum. I believe that "action back" refers to gussets in the sleeve area and/or the center back that allows unimpeded movement, a gusset being gathered extra material where the flexability is desired. dean

    What Kind of Jacket in the Original 1951 "The Thing"?

    I'd vote for an A-2, he even has the whistle I've heard about, on some ring probably through the throat clasp. dean

    Rank and Patches on Military Jackets - Might I Offend a Veteran?

    I won't wear rank insignia, either. But someday, I will have an accurate A-2, and I will wear it with joy! Maybe a patch or two on it! dean

    Review of the Eastman 'Luftwaffe' jacket, NEW

    I can't tell if the problem these days is a jacket that's just too short...or pants that are just too low in the waist. This modern re-defining where your trousers should ride in your middle is the real problem, for me, not the jacket length. Nothing like be in the minority on this point, but...

    Review of the Eastman 'Luftwaffe' jacket, NEW

    You know, there is something different about the look of that jacket. I wonder if I can put it into words as well as you, JJ. It is the garb of a guy who flew like the devil, so to speak, at high speed and with ruthlessness, but it looks like it took a while to make. It has a the precision and...

    3 piece back on A2 in period photo

    Great photo! Thanks! A father to be proud of. His jacket has an interesting point where the left sleeve meets the shoulder. I'm not sure what to make of it. A gusset? And you say it has a two piece back. Interesting. Love that patch. dean

    Cooper A-2 question

    Here's my modern A-2, one with armpit extra pieces and side pieces as well, which if I'm not mistaken is referred to as the "Turkey Mod". I don't think it's a bad fit around the arms.. dean

    Repro WW2 German Panzer wrap anyone ?

    I've considered the same possibility, they are simply a very stylish, military look. An M-43 cap is easier to spot as an Axis component. I know from experience...so I stopped wearing them even sans insignia. dean
