Great feature and thanks for putting it up.
As a not too serious collector in my youth I can relate to this quote.
“When Jon and I collect, we don’t care who made it,” Conway continues. “We don’t care if it fit and if the zipper was broken. You’re talking about a garment that’s 65 years old. Why would you expect the zipper to work? It’s not healthy to do that to yourself.”
Thanks, JTee

Great story and a very cool website that I wasn't familiar with. There's also a fascinating story about the history of prosthetics.

Great article. Well-researched and informative. Just wish they had mentioned Goodwear Leather since they're American and make among the best A-2's in the world. And unlike HPA, they're not just re-selling foreign-made A-2s. But I liked it a lot.
