    What Price Glory A-2 Jacket

    An update on this jacket: I love it. I added a nametag and it's at the tailor's right now pending Captain's bars on the shoulders. I've worn it more than any other jacket and seriously cannot say enough about it. I added a "ditching whistle" and will add a squadron insignia when I have one made...

    What Price Glory A-2 Jacket

    Jerry Lee's stuff varies from from run to run no matter what you purchase. His RAF stuff is highly controversial in the reenaqcting community. I bought his first run of British BD and it was like a bloody blanket. His newer stuff is way better (for the price) but still not like Panther store...

    Famous People in Flight Jackets

    Sort of. There was significant leeway in the transtition period. Lots of period photos show groups of airmen in mixed green/blue (Blue 84 shade) uniforms. I just picked up a Blue 84 officer's jacket that is a near copy of the of classic USAAF jacket but in, well, blue! (Size 48 as well, find...

    What Price Glory A-2 Jacket

    Just wanted to say I recieved mine today (XXL) and it fits my 5'10" way too fat body perfectly. I am seriously giddy on well it fits. The price is unbeatable. Quality is pretty good as well. Very, very happy. Been wanting an A-2 for a while but didn't want to break the bank. The WPG jacket makes it.

    What Price Glory A-2 Jacket

    I am preppring to order one of these but wanted an opinion from the peanut gallery. I need a WPG XXL, no doubt. But the sleeve length at 28" scares me. Based on Smithy's measurements, the XL would be to tight even though the sleeves would be perfect. Yes, I have a stomach. I'm just seeking an...

    What Price Glory A-2 Jacket

    Has anyone else ordered one? I know they say order a size up but the "XL" sizing exactly matches my US Wings Indy Jacket and the XXL looks like it would be waaaaay to big with sleeves for a giant. Any opinion? Also, thanks for posting the pics, it was the catalyst to me ordering on. For the...

    The Fedora Lounge Guide to Blanket Mackinaws

    Just picked up an interesting example that's clearly related to the blanket coats. It's black, shawl collared, double breasted, and the pockets and cuffs are trimmed in leather. $8.75 but it needs some serious TLC.

    Vet reunited with A2 Jacket - a $17 Goodwill purchase!

    Last year I had SOME luck at the thrifts. Found a USAAF Survival vest, the one with the integral .45 holster, for $10. Same shop also had ARVN Para camo shirts and a unissued US made Tiger stripe shirt.

    FS: Vintage Shoes, including Blue Suede Shoes

    Hi all, You read that right, honest to god '50s era Blue Suede Shoes. They are a size 9C with moderate to light wear. The heels are in what I would call very good shape, with only a little wear starting to occur. Made by Roblee, they are in overall excellent condition. The suede is...

    WWII British Uniforms Guide: Royal Navy

    There was a brief overview of RN uniforms and headgear in a old issue of Militaria Magazine when they still published in English. I'll see if I can find the exact issue. I do have a pair of working dress trousers, officer's downstairs in one of my tubs. Very nice shape, actually and they will...

    Hey Toledo, you go to Fort Meigs? What did you think? I wasn't happy with the poor turnout. If you guys were the Rangers I saw, you guys looks absolutely great.
