    G-1 patching help

    Thanks! I'll probably not go for the jacket art. Someone sent me this link, that seems to confirm both No.1 and No.3 options: http://www.salimbeti.com/aviation/equipment2.htm (albeit on flight suits)

    G-1 patching help

    I have a plan. I'd really like to buy an AVI G-1, and patch it. I think G-1-s look especially good patched. I wouldn't go the Top gun way, but I'd like to turn it into a fictional G-1 of Cmdr. Richard Owens - CAG from "Final Countdown". So I researched countless pictures of patched G-1s, and I'm...

    Proper G-1 Jacket Fit?

    Cockpit makes very nice jackets, but their customer service combined with their weird sizing...phew.. I once tried a size 40 100 mission G-2, perfect fit, but I had a size 36 long WW2 A-2, and a size 40 reissue goat A-2 (this latter was too baggy, yet short.) One can't just keep sending jackets...

    FS: M1982 MIG Jacket

    Due to it being too large and saving money for other jackets, I decided to part with this unique jacket that's next to irreplaceable with a heavy heart. An M1982 jacket, used by the Hungarian Air Force between 1982 and 199x. I bought it from a Major through an acquaintance. It's in mint...

    Gibson and Barnes Air Force A-2 Sizing?

    Keep in mind that as you break the jacket in, you’ll lose an inch in the sleeves due to creasing. Those borderline short sleeves will become actually short.

    AVI LTHR BRONCO A-2 Jacket Review & Pics

    @Flightengineer I wouldn't say those sleeves are long at all. The jacket fits you perfectly. @Toto never mind the sleeves, they look fine too! Great fit overall.

    Pomade

    'Been using "Cock Grease X". Love the coconut scent, stands up to the weahter, but my hair is quite strong, and it didn't hold well, but added weight and pulled it down. Then I tried Suavecito Firme hold...it didn't hold at all, smelled like shower gel, and dried like hair gel. Then I ordered a...

    Buzz Rickson or Eastman Navy Chambray Shirt

    Meh...ATF has crazy shipping prices, weird sizing, and the quality didn't seem THAT good. Eastman is waaay out of my budget, and MASH would have ended up being just as expensive after taxes. So I found a nice Levi's chambray on ebay instead. Is it a repro USN chambray? No. It is more or less the...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Took the virginity of my new Eastman Star Sportswear A-2 on a cross country flight today. Goes will with QMI's A-3 cap ;)

    Repro. RAF whistle used as a main zipper pull?

    I think it would be too big for a zipper pull. I have one attached to my A-2 and it's borderline too big, even though I'm not using it as a zipper pull.

    Mash A-10 gloves

    I was planning to buy a pair of Eastmans this summer at Duxford, bu I just learned about the price increase, and it's now way way above any sensible limit I can afford. I'll probably go for MASH, but I'm afraid I will end up paying the same due to the extra taxes :/ I also considered AERO, but...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    Winter’s back, so I’m wearing my Alpha Ma-1 Vf-59, with ww2 US GI scarf and cap. The bag is a modern aviators’ helmet bag. The patch is an original 4th Avn. Bn. From Vietnam.

    Flying jackets from Pakistan

    I wouldn't worry about it being Pakistani, I'd worry about the lack of pictures. If you don't want to pull the trigger on a top quality Eastman or Aero, there are some cheaper but great alternatives, such as the AVI LTHR Bronco...

    USAAF crusher caps

    Hi, I'm looking for a WW2 USAAF crusher cap in OD color. Can you recommend a good, reasonably priced maker? This one doesn't look bad, but it doesn't have the crushed look either. I wonder if I can just simply remove the wire or whatever is inside: https://qmi.be/visor-hat-officers-men-od.html...

    1940s pinup dress?

    The dress arrived from ebay, looks pretty. Now I'll try to get her twin sister to try it on secretly so that I can have it adjusted before her birthday.
