Latest and Last evolution of a crew cap
Thanks for the compliment, duggap! Moved them up slightly. Not sure if I can live with it, but I just had to do more work on it. Compulsion has no limits.:) dean -
The $10 A-2 style jacket fabric painted russet being worn
Thanks, Edward. You should know that I ripped the lining out, which included removing padding under the shoulders, and some insulating material between the leather and polyester lining, and used flexible fabric cement to attach an old cotton drill material shirt of a mustard color as a lining...- deanglen

Latest and Last evolution of a crew cap
Compulsively updated! Can't help it! Just noticed... the letters are TOO LOW! Gawd! There may be a limit to compulsion. dean -
Latest and Last evolution of a crew cap
After further photo research and just a bit more careful attention to such pictures as this: I updated the cap as follows. I think I've got this time. There is a minor difference in the lettering, but unless I get too complusive I will probably let it slide. The slightly distorted... -
3 piece back on A2 in period photo
I have to admit, being a guy who painted a cheap A-2 style jacket, that I tossed around the idea of getting a vinyl repair kit to fill-in that seam, figuring that careful application would do the trick...but alas, I have returned the Mossi and will be receiving an budget repro that has a one...- deanglen

Latest and Last evolution of a crew cap
Very kind of you Carlisle, your appreciation is gratifying. I'm already modifying the cap as it is in the photos having done some research that revealed to me that the letters are too large, too close together, and could have an angled vertical slash between them. These kins of projects are... -

Found this over on the VLJ. The cap in the photo is probably fabric, but it's the style I was trying to re-produce. dean -
Flight Apparel Ind. A-2 - Large Disco Collar observations
I wasn't suggesting the collar was "wrong" on any of these jackets, actually my intent was to illustrate how normal the size is. You make a great model, Mark!;) dean- deanglen

The $10 A-2 style jacket fabric painted russet being worn
You said it, Mr. Bern! I had my misgivings, but considering the initial cost of the jacket, I figured the loss would not be too great. I actually would like to experiment more with this stuff to see how close to leather I could get with it. Something like a wash to set off stitching, different...- deanglen

What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
1919 Chicago White Sox (Black Sox) repro cap I modified this cap by switching out a more accurately shaped visor. I wear this a lot. It has personal meaning for me. dean -
The $10 A-2 style jacket fabric painted russet being worn
It's called "Tulip" brand "Soft" fabric paint. http://www.createforless.com/Tulip+Soft+Fabric+Paint+1+oz+Matte/plid6016.aspx?SI=b107c494-8bd7-411e-9107-bb5aab847933 I got it at Michaels and Jo-Ann fabrics. It's water based and cleans up easy. It's truly a great medium for which I used it...- deanglen

The $10 A-2 style jacket fabric painted russet being worn
One of you wondered what this project looked like being worn, so here are a few shots. I like the way this looks! The paint really does feel like leather with just a slight "tackiness" to the touch, but has a "crunch" sound like real leather finishes would. Indeed, a three piece back, two...- deanglen

3 piece back on A2 in period photo
Paul, You must be psychic! Yes it was a Mossi. I say "was" because there have been some developments with the jacket that I will be posting about as soon as events wend their way to a conclusion. It's really a pretty good jacket for the price. The seam down the middle of the back was a bit...- deanglen

Won this Inaccurate A-2 Knockoff...cheap!
Yes, I have tried wearing them together, and thank your for your response, Edward, that paint does cover well, and I think that if it creates some distinction for a rather pedestrian jacket, it's served the purpose I intended for it. Indeed, it's no Aero or Goodwear work of art, it's for...- deanglen
