    Frightening Trend - Article.

    And heres a pair of 1933 501s I recently bought. They were made in the 1990s at the Levis Valencis St factory indicated by the #555 on the button backs and the inside label. Cone mills redline denim. Single needle arcuate.

    My dad would never wear jeans. But jeans are getting a bad rap on this thread. I wear them almost everyday. The jeans I wear are usually Levis Vintage Clothing jeans. I am wearing a pair of 1886 501s (the first 501s) right now. 1886 501

    The Military

    And what you have to understand is that the propaganda machine in Germany was saying if you weren't with us you were against us. You couldn't be a good German if you didn't support the nationalist efforts. "Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders...

    The Military

    Arrow, you are certainly entitled to your opinion and I do respect it. War is hell and should only be entered into as a LAST RESORT. Just remember one thing. Those serving are not the ones responsible for policy. They are doing their jobs. If you hate the policy vote out those who brought it...

    Where can I find a repro of this A-2?

    I can't speak for for that zipper but I know most of the original Talons and Crowns that I've had on repro jackets are far better than todays zippers. How many originals do you see with 60 year old zips that are still working fine. WWII Coopers are not very common and to a collector could be...

    Where can I find a repro of this A-2?

    Different shaped pocket flaps, a pointy collar on one side and rounded on the other, wavy stitching are all very common on original WWII A-2. Nasty, grainy, thin hides also very common.

    Where can I find a repro of this A-2?

    What is it a Perry Sportswear? I can't read the label. There are several companies that make VERY grainy horse and goatskin A-2 repros. Here are a list of several of the better ones. Can't remeber if anyone is making a Perry though. Real McCoys New Zealand and The Few(made by RMNZ) Aero...

    Funny the way we were sold that the war in Iraq is the same as the war of terror. Our misguided foreign policy has created hundreds of thousands of new enemies. As history shows that you do become vulnerable when your military becomes weak. So a strong military can be a tool for peace as...

    The Military

    I've come to the conclusion that there's nothing more noble for someone to do than serve his/her partner, children (if any), parents, friends, neighbors, the sick, the elderly, the poor, and so on down the line. Placed against all those things, my country appears much further down on my list...

    Whether you're a soldier, airman, sailor or marine you are just instruments of politicians thats why its so important to pick them(politicians) very carefully. War isn't a video game and should only be entered into as a LAST RESORT and if theres a total breakdown of diplomacy. Good people die in...
