    Made in China - Monarch A-2 repros

    A year ago, I bought a 'knock off' Rolex watch made in China. Yes, it looked spot on and even had the heft of the genuine article. I wore it for about three weeks. It became more difficult to set and it started to keep poor time. After about a month of use, the "hand crafted Chinese" watch's...

    **NEWS EXTRA**Good Wear flying jackets take vintage authenticity to new heights!!

    The premier makers of the A2 reproduction jackets appear to only make them up to size 48. (Good Wear, Eastern, Aero etc) I need a size 50. Good Wear at least gives good description of the 'fit' of each model they reproduce. Anyone know if any maker will provide a size 50 jacket? Thanks.

    Where are the Classic Brown Leather flight jackets now..

    Interesting question and observation. I agree that military and bomber style jackets have fallen out of favor. Back in the 80's and 90's, they were quite popular. Even many of my motorcycling pals have stopped wearing leathers and prefer engineered synthetic jackets. They offer wind...

    RUM?!

    In the Carribean heat, NOTHING beats a rum drink or Daiquiri over cracked ice or blended on the beach. Pirates drank rum grog, for good reason!

    Gun Boats - like them or dislike them?

    Great new colorful shoe term! I agree with earlier posters. Beautiful but heavy. Wears out my feet by 2 PM. I recently purchased 'lightweight' wing tips that really are a pleasure to wear and admire. I found them on Amazon...

    New shoes = agony!?

    Just thinking about the last time I had to wear new shoes makes me ache! I wonder if there is a way to safely presoak new shoes so that the first wearings will more rapidly promote size adjustment for comfort.
