    Nylon & Leather: Go well Together, B2 Cap & L2A :-)

    I never had a lot of time for B2 caps, had a shinny ELC one in the same shade as my BOB Irvin & personally felt too 'leather bound' wearing the two at the same time...same effect when in combination with any of my leather flight jackets. I ended up with an A4 mechanics cap (sold B2) & found wool...

    NOS 'Vintage' Blue MA1 Flight Jacket by HockAy XL

    Purchased a NOS HockAy MA1 'Vintage' Flight Jacket by accident, had placed an order for another brand on-line & received the HockAy instead. I've had one of these before (last year), for me, IMHO the worst 'Vintage' reproduction (I use the word loosely) MA1 that I've encountered. The shell has...

    Alpha Service Issue 1973 L2B Flight Jacket 'Rescue Lining' in XL

    Cuffs need replacing do you think? Booked jacket in with seamstress to replace them with NOS USAF items. Moth nips need darning and it's pretty much there. Slightly broader shoulders than my recent Ground Crew L2B acquisition but nearly an inch shorter on the back...funny the sizing variations...
