What's the best Eastman A-2?
I've owned 2 Werbers. First Hookless lost a rivet cap, then its pull tab, then its slider. Second lost 2 teeth right over the tang, which defied all attempts at replacement as the tape underneath unraveled. All this with less-than-normal wear and tear.- Fletch

Matt Deckard Apparel
This is a hard thing to accept for craftsmen of any kind, but especially difficult for craftsmen who came up under a very strict traditional apprenticeship. Going against what your master taught you is just wrong if you come from that tradition. There's no room for what Matt is doing - no... -

Lost Worlds sizing - classified information?
LW jackets are better than originals. Mostly 'cause they're stiffer and heavier. LW Firm Attitudinal Horsehide is for men, not boys. If it's too stiff for you, maybe you're not a man. Leave it for your descendants to break in. Good jackets not only never wear out - they never break in. LW makes...- Fletch

Is there a pocket for the Wii controller? Or does the jacket network with the Wii itself?- Fletch

BK A-2. *w/pictures
Think about an AN-J-3 - pretty much an A-2 front with a G-1 back. (Difficulty: never issued by the gummint, so no "authentic" version exists.)- Fletch

Games with one-syllable names
Not Fluff-like at all, but the first one that came to my mind was Pit, a card game about commodity trading, invented in 1904 by, of all people, the legendary mystic Edgar Cayce.- Fletch

Musician's hats
Thanks...just a dumb find on Google. The link goes to some of his records on YouTube, of fine hotel style dance music. Angelo grew up in Utica, NY, with a brother Felix, another musician and later bandleader. In 1910, Angelo, 15, skipped town to play piano for a woman singer on the road... -

LVC resale scene...
Don't know where you find them - there are basically none in sizes 38-40. I figured there might be demand, and that after-market mods might cut into it. The '86s are comfy but don't look super great with that blank expanse of butt. There's enough cuff in them to make a whole new pocket, pieced...- Fletch

LVC resale scene...
I have 2 pair of well loved LVC jeans - the 1886 single back pocket and the 1917 501 without belt loops - that I'm thinking of moving along. Alternately, I might have some of the (considerable) extra length taken off the 1917s and loops made out of it. Am I f'ing up the resale potential? Is...- Fletch
