An A-2 / G-1 question for those of you who have worn or felt a Schott 184SM
GoaT! hi...to answer your question from my experience...i had purchased the 184sm just because i fell in love with it as an 'authentic' bit of americana, if not a milspec item... but by the time i purchased it, all my other jackets were milspec (a-2's and g-1's), which is normally what i...- johnnyjohnny

Irvin jacket disappearing from e-bay
eeeeeeeeK-bay yes, ebay has all sorts of little pitfalls...i could go on but then i'd have my 33rd nervous breakdown... on something like this i always put a bid, even if it's low, to keep this sort of thing from happening...if there are no bids, no telling what will happen... the virtue...- johnnyjohnny

Which Aero for those of us who do not have a V shape

Which Aero for those of us who do not have a V shape
Vvvvvvvvvvvvv shape well, i won't go so far as to recommend people take up running to lose the stomach, though some on this forum have stated they have taken up exercise to more authentically fit their jackets... but to the observation by grey ghost, i had the highwayman briefly, just tried...- johnnyjohnny

A2 fit?
'FiTTing' tribute to the a-2 great bunch of pix, especially of pre ww2 a-2 usage...a total tribute and discussion of the 'fit' of an a-2 my own opinion is that, like a current production mustang can out race/out handle anything from the 60s, one would still prefer to have a vintage 60s...- johnnyjohnny
