    Cockpit USA A-2 - After Break-In

    Leather coat storage

    I put a large plastic bag / cover over my jackets during the spring / summer some are sealed in a zippered cover and hang in the closet laying them on on the floor under a table with a blanket to cover them would be a good way to store them, but take up too much space

    Cockpit A-2 Goat

    the problem with buying a smaller size leather jacket is it wont fit right if you gain a little weight, I dont even wear mine anymore because I dont like the restrictive fit, I prefer the fuller freedom of movement of a bigger size. lots of guys like it to fit snug or fit like a glove, thats...

    Black or brown belt...

    Black belt with Black boots according to my book about how to dress like a GENTLEMAN they say you should always wear a belt that matches the color of your shoes. so a black leather belt would be the correct color to wear with your black boots! ;)

    M65 Field Jacket in Black - are there any good ones?

    The M65 FIELD JACKET is based on the WWII M43 FIELD JACKET , the style hasnt changed much , the most noticable difference is the zippered collar with a hood inside and a heavy brass zipper instead of buttons.

    M65 Field Jacket in Black - are there any good ones?

    I think BLACK M65 field jacket looks like something Law Enforcement would wear. I prefer the original OG or maybe desert tan to wear with jeans and casual wear.

    how long does parcel post from FL to CA take?

    I won an item on Ebay extra cheap, just .50 over the opening bid and the seller marked it as shipped on the 27th of July shouldnt it have arrived by now? I have a feeling the seller might not ship it because it sold too cheap and might claim it was lost in the mail? no delivery...

    Rank and Patches on Military Jackets - Might I Offend a Veteran?

    I think it's better to just mind your own business, you cant tell a guy on the street to take off his jacket because he didnt earn the right to wear it, etc if some stranger tried to ask me if I was a pilot or served with some special unit etc, I wouldnt even answer them and keep walking.

    Rank and Patches on Military Jackets - Might I Offend a Veteran?

    this reminds me of something I heard in a war movie: "Rank is something you wear, Respect is something your going to have to Earn" what about people who wear HARVARD , YALE, or some other prestige shirt from other schools? and they never graduated or attended those schools? I once wore...

    Rank and Patches on Military Jackets - Might I Offend a Veteran?

    removing patches is like removing the history, maybe I'll just leave it "as is" but just dont wear it, just keep it in my collection.
