    water treating my A-2 to shrink it

    It will take some heat during the drying process to help shrink the leather. I have used a dryer at the lowest setting, drying a pre soaked jacket with a dozen damp towels, removing it every 10-12 minutes and reversing the jacket inside out. I have drawn up some jackets, including Good Wear...

    Leatherique Rejuvenator Oil on my 1.5 year old Aero FQHH NYPD Jacket - SUCCESS!!

    I too have used Leatherique products, both on my cars leather seats, and on my leather jackets. With good results. I use both the Leatherique Pristine Clean, as well as the Rejuvenator oil. I will occasionally use both Peccards and Leatherique Oil if the leather seems very dry. The oil...

    A Tribute to Pixar.

    Being a car fanatic, I enjoyed Cars, with all the subtle things Pixar puts in their films. Monsters, Inc is still my favorite, and has to be one of the most wildly creative movies I have ever seen. Whoever thought it up is real genius. In 1983, or '84, a buddy of mine had a friend who was a...

    I agree with ButteMT, people get into the habit of using "texting" english, and it is too abbreviated, and is difficult to read. And can annoy others. I appreciate reading normal english myself.

    P-51 crash at Reno Air Races

    The extensive fragmentation of the plane is something I noticed also. No large wing pieces or tail pieces, things usually seen in a plane crash.

    P-51 crash at Reno Air Races

    Its not so much the age that causes strokes. There has to be pre existing disease. Strokes can occur in young females (caused by vascular disease related to BC pills). There are a lot of variables here, namely those that lead to vascular disease. Diabetes, obesity, genetics etc. Hopefully...

    P-51 crash at Reno Air Races

    Unfortunately another fallacy. Here the assumtion is that A. youth (average 20 year old) guarantees that you are more physically capable than anyone age 74 or older. Therefore, B an older age pilot will lead to more airplane crashes. A is not true, (ie no 74 year olds are as physically...

    P-51 crash at Reno Air Races

    This reasoning is certainly a fallacy. Probably comes under "Negative Conclusion from Affirmative Premisses" Some old people don't have good eyesight or good reflexes. Pilots with poor vision and reflexes crash planes. Therefore old people crash planes...

    LL Bean now selling a black Flying Tigers A2 jacket

    I ordered a G&B Civilian A2 in black, in size 40, which I though would fit, since I already had a brown one from G&B the same size I had bought on Ebay. It was too big, so I returned it, got a 38 and the fit was right on. It was a slight hassle, but I got what I wanted. If it had been too...

    LL Bean now selling a black Flying Tigers A2 jacket

    I agree with this assessment. I have a Gibson & Barnes Civil A2. I bet you could get a custom made A2, with no side pockets from G & B. In the old days, (maybe 15 years ago), LL Beans A2s were in chest sizes, e.g. 38, 40, 42 etc, and were not as long in the body as they are now. Their...
