    What sort of flight jacket weather are you having these days..?

    That is a nice one. If you don’t mind my asking, was it strictly a money issue or was there something about the jacket that you didn’t like?

    Have We Entered the Visual World of "Blade Runner?"

    Actually Los Angeles has more people per square mile than New York City. It happened a few years ago. New York having nightlife and LA not having it past 2 AM doesn't have anything to do with people density.Life in the big city becomes more and more like Blade Runner everyday. It’s amazing how...

    An annoying term.

    That makes sense. The same slave ships that brought slaves to the U.S. also stopped off in the Caribbean. From there, African music developed on two separate paths. The American slave owner was basically a control freak. He did not allow the slaves to keep their drums. The slave owner in the...

    An annoying term.

    I agree with Mark that the term has been misused over the years. Of course anything that’s overused can become irritating no matter how cool it was to begin with. A term that I would probably not use myself is “Fly”. I think that the first guy to use the term was Oscar Brown Jr. in the...

    Green, Fuzzy and French!

    Very nice. I love any hat finish that has texture to it. I’ve got three green hats myself. Green is a cool color. However my favorite hat color is still blue.

    An annoying term.

    The term “old school” is pretty hip. I think that people on this board don’t like the way that the term has been hijacked by today’s general populace. There was a Simpsons episode making fun of modern overused terms a number of years ago. Two new TV shows were entitled “Don’t go...

    What do you think of this coat?

    The coat is made by Kakadu. They make Australian oilskin long coats. I have one (oilskin long coat) and it’s really nice. Their jacket looks to be made out of a canvas which would make it more of a “duster” type of a coat (more rugged) and less of a trench coat than the pictures of the...

    I saw the movie last night and I enjoyed it. I’m glad that it didn’t come to any heavy handed conclusions about the cause of Reeves death. Unfortunately I think that the film is doomed to do lousy at the box office. The pacing of the movie is probably too slow for today’s audience. As...

    Where can I find a repro of this A-2?

    I have to respectively disagree on the zippers. I can zip a modern YKK zipper in the dark. I have had trouble zipping original zippers in the light. As far as appearances go, there’s no accounting for taste. And I can understand a collector being interested in the jacket for historical...

    Where can I find a repro of this A-2?

    I think you guys are missing the main point of my post. I would never go with something that was sub par just because it is historically accurate. I know that some of you guys have fun going after every last detail, so to each his own. I myself would rather have a zipper that actually works for...

    Where can I find a repro of this A-2?

    I was just kidding. Look at the collar. It’s horrible. I’d never wear something like that.

    Where can I find a repro of this A-2?

    Where can I find an A-2 made with this kind of old world craftsmanship? It truly is a breathtaking A-2. They just don’t make them like this anymore. What a “Golden Era” it was. Truly awesome. Just Kidding

    Flight Suits Civil A-2 ( Need Size Help)

    G&B’s current jacket sizing reflects modern sizing. Go with your suit size as long as there is nothing un-average about your build. Cheers

    In your CD player right now...

    The scary thing about Nick Lowe is that he gets better with age. His last three records are better than anything that he’s ever made. I put together a smattering of what’s on my ipod. I left loads and loads of music off, but it’s still a pretty long list. Curtis Fuller “Blues-ette” Ray...

    Just thought that I'd recommend them as a place to get super hip music. I've been buying stuff from them for years. Cheers http://www.dustygroove.com/
