    Handy repro vintage flight jacket maker websites

    Jake, looks great! I also went with the seal and rust color. Now just sleep, shower, eat and live in it and it'll look great in about 3 years!

    How many folk know their own country's anthem these days?

    I don't remember the name of the cartoon, but Porky Pig resites the National Anthem without the "Under God" from the 1930's. "under god" I believe it was actually added later to "defend" against the evil godless Russians during the cold war, so I wouldn't go as far to say that leaving it...

    I just picked up "Zoot Suit" a 1981 screenplay that was in the used book section of a local thrift store. Anyone seen this film? I don't really remember it.

    Glenn Miller leather flight jacket

    They went down in the early to mid 90s. They started selling to rappers and hip-hop. They forgot what got them to where they are and now it's a joke. Other companies like Aero, Eastman continue to what got them there. Although Eastman's sold out a little and I've heard it shows

    Glenn Miller leather flight jacket

    I have had a few Aero's. My current is the Anniversary Horse. I had Ken give me almost 2 inches more in the sleeves and it fits great. I'm sure he can lengthen the torso for you too...

    yes, it's like a pre-owned car. But usually they're better quality because they're older.

    Pipes

    I boiled mine, but beware it will make a black mouth piece brown. You can get them made for about 25 bucks at most higher end pipe shops. You can even get the little "S" on it if you want! I need to go to more estate sales, but here in LA there's lines of people waiting to get in so you...

    Old Fashioned Sodas

    when I was a kid, my dad made a whole bunch of root beer. All natural and bottled it in the basement. Well it needed to sit a while to get all fizzy and I think he put too much sugar in because after a week or so, late at night we'd hear explosions in the basement. It tasted aweful and we...

    Pipes

    I have a few pipes. my favorite I bought used at an antique show, Savinelli Silver. The grain is almost perfect, it's really beautiful, never gets hot. I just picked up my first pipe holder. All wood with room for 6 pipes and the top opens for your tobacco. And the best part is I paid $5.00...

    Aero Highwayman

    I've seen both. It's always dark brown for either brown or black. Or Black. But I think dark brown would look very nice on either. You might want to think about getting it with a detachedable collar in case you want a change...

    Show us your suits

    I'm actually getting a box full of cuff links from my grandfather who collected them from around the world. I'll share some when I get them. My shirt cuffs were just pulled up in the suit as it was just a quick photo opp. And yes, the suit was not a "modern" suit of the time, but more a...
