Wow, I really like that one. Really nice. I am going to have to study up on the
G-8! Where can i get one?

Shaul is your guy. Great service! I bought the returnable jacket first and made my adjustments accordingly. Great turn-around times even for APO overseas! I went with Flightjacket.com because they offered the jacket with a one piece back.

Photobucket has given me so much shit recently that I switched to imgur the other day. Takes some getting used to but once you have it figured out, it's so much better. Faster, easier and no pop ups and ads everywhere.

Today, I’m wearing a 1960, black tag, John Ownbey. Black tag MA-1s used to be the only thing most nylon geeks thought collectable. Now, even orange-lined reproductions sell for more than their original price. It’s a strange world, Mildred.

That’s a potential leather jacket, grazing in the background. She’s urging folks to wear more nylon.

Looks great, but I haven't gone down the nylon rabbit hole yet. Yes indeed it is a strange world mildred.

How much are you asking for the future leather jacket, and what size is it?:p

I lied when i said in my very first posts on TFL that my HBD was my very first jacket, because I was embarased. I bought this LL Bean in 1990, and wore the heck out of it. Zipper finally broke so I started down the rabbit hole of real A-1s and the rest is history as in all my money is gone. LL Bean was kind enough to put in a brand ew YKK zipper for free. It was about 62 degrees F. when I went to work today and the old jacket was great. nice and light. I think there is some nice grain and patina for an old goat. Just like me.
