    I intended to wear my Cooper A-2 this morning as the temperature was 33.F. But it kept climbing to 66F by 2pm, so NO jacket today!

If you don't feel that you are being treated fairly let your insurance agent know that you would appreciate any advice/help.

    Since it appears that your Dad values your taste in jackets you should not have much trouble in convincing him that an Irvin is the ONLY right choice for that particular sports car. Good luck!

    Tell a story about your first leather jacket...

    It was 1965 and I was 14 when I was able to get my first "flight" jacket which was a civilian suede version of a B-3. I wore it until it fell apart when I was about 18. My first real leather jacket was a G-1 issued in 1974 during student naval flight training at Pensacola, FL. The quality was...

    My father had many Guy Lombardo LP's and I remember inheriting them after he passed away in 1997. The Enjoy Yourself album was a favorite.

    Any modelers on Fedora Lounge?

    Yesteryear, Thanks for posting your hobby photos. Your airfleet looks like a lot of fun to fly. Do you have a runway nearby? Also, the HO layout looks like it takes many dedicated hobbyists to maintain. Your 10 foot long Titanic will be impresive when finished. It might be a challenge to...

    Casechopper, Your jacket collection is making some of us jealous. The best I can come up with is a Cooper A-2 from about 10 years ago. BTW: I was born in Teaneck- Holy Name Hospital.

    Attaching Morale Patches On Leather Flight Jackets

    Jim, I was in flight training from '74-'75 at Pensacola and our issued jackets were said to be made of Naugahyde. None of us seemed too concerned. As I had to turn it in I never knew if it was just cheap leather that was treated or totally artificial. Paul

    The ivy gives the building a bit of class. Does it have to be trimmed away from the windows?

    A-2 Jacket

    If you don't mind an inexpensive, bur fairly accurate A-2 that is accurate on sizing, Cooper will probably do. The leather is on the thin size, so it is not a cold weather jacket. Good luck in your search.

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    casechopper, you've made some of us a bit jealous. Your G-1 is fabulous. Any A-2's in your collection? BTW, I was born in Teaneck and lived in NJ until relocating to a more rural state in 1984.

    Let's See Your Electric Trains!

    Rod Stewart's HO (OO) layout has been featured in [I]Model Railroader[I] several times. He has said it was more of an honor to be in the hobbyist magazine than any music periodical. His train layout is one of the biggest private collections known. Along with his home soccer field, the layout...
