    Bad CGI Masters of the Air?

    Howdy all, I just started watching Masters of the Air I’m 3 episodes into it and I find myself being very distracted by the CGI. I have to say I feel like the CGI is just not up to par. Does anyone else feel the same? I feel like I’ve seen better CGI in movies over 10 years old. The bombers...

    Vintage 1933 Wool Plaid Work jacket

    That jacket is super cool! It’s hard to say for sure if it’s Woolrich or not, my gut instinct says it probably is another brand. I’d know by the feel of it. Woolrich wool was usually softer and fluffier than other companies Woolrich also put their size labels in a different spot. It’s got...

    Aero ANJ4 with D1 length fleece size 38

    Which leather is used for the trim?

    Question about Aero and alterations

    I completely agree. I have a B-6 but would rather have a D-1 because the B-6 is just a little too fussy, and wind blows through the zipper. The D-1 has a storm flap and keeps that from happening

    Question about Aero and alterations

    I have seen several Aero D-1s in recent years that had some minor customizations. I saw a redskin Aero D-1 with non-zippered pockets in the past. They were D-1 angled pockets and not B-6 angled though. It also had leather seam binding on the cuffs and hem. I saw it on this forum but I can’t...
