    Where do you hang your hat?

    I'm a fan of freestanding hat racks, for both hat-hanging and practicing my super-spy technique: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_IZ8iHiwWk Though if your collection exceeds a half-dozen or so hats you'll need more than one...

    My LW Ryder after 8 months

    I think buying three jackets from the LW sale page has ruined my perception of value. I know an Aero/Goodwear/full price LW is probably worth its cost, but I got the same thing from $300! I'll never be able to convince myself to spend more than twice that much now.

    Help me find my first A2?

    I've got a horsehide A-2 from US Authentic that I'm reasonably pleased with. The leather is pliable and durable, but I think you heard right about the patina, it shows very little grain or character. So far that's resulted in a four-year old jacket that looks brand new, but it might not be what...

    Indy Jacket

    Hey, mine was a US-WINGS too. I agree with you on almost every count. Fine leather for the price, certainly comfortable, just too darn baggy. Even their small was too much for my frame. I sold it to a friend who usually wears a large and it looks just about right on him. That purchase was what...

    Indy Jacket

    Take an A-2 and remove the knitting and throat latch. Add side pockets, gussets, side buckles and a shoulder seam. Distress liberally in the sands of Egypt. How'd I do? I seem to remember explaining these differences to more than one person who thought I was dressing like Indy in my A-2. I...

    Your 2nd favourite flight jacket

    This thing. It's a little too eccentric for everyday wear/favorite jacket, and I know I'm straying from history with those pockets and color choice, but I've eyed it with envy many times nonetheless.

    Hard to find a size 34 A-2

    Actually a 32" sleeve sounds about right. I measured my jacket at 31" to the edge of the leather and just over 33" to the edge of the knit cuffs. What with the sleeve naturally wrinkling and the cuff folding in on itself I bet it wouldn't seem too long at all.

    Hard to find a size 34 A-2

    I'll add a recommendation for that Lost Worlds jacket, as I bought one from the same batch awhile back and am quite pleased with it. I would caution you that it might end up a bit long in the sleeves/body as my size 34 fits my 6' self pretty well. There seems to be a little inconsistency in LW...

    G-1 Needs New Collar

    I've got a G-1 jacket from flightjacket.com that's missing its original mouton collar. Is there anywhere I can buy a new collar and attach it myself, or (maybe preferable) anywhere I can send the jacket to have one attached? Thanks!

    Recent Jacket Acquisitions... Tron Themed

    That's awesome! Of course, I would never quite feel like I was doing that jacket justice unless I was riding a light-cycle... Nice disc props too, where did those come from?

    Do you wear a fedora with your leather jacket?

    It's pretty much the same almost every day: Brown fedora, brown leather jacket, brown boots. Sound pretty boring, but I very thoroughly explore the subtle shading options..... er... yeah, that is pretty boring, but I like it! :D

    Leather Police Jackets

    That is awesome! I've always admired leather peacoats, but I'm just not sure how on earth I could pull it off....

    The Akubra Rap?

    I'd like to second this request. I've thought about that hat a couple times, but that blurry photo on HatsDirect isn't much to go by.

    What goes with your A2?

    A hat and the rain are the two most necessary A-2 accessories! I'll switch out for a pair of harness boots, but otherwise I agree completely.

    B-2 History?

    Thanks for the info guys! And that's a great picture, Fletch. Something about this design makes it so much more appealing to me than the B-3s and Irvins I've seen. This jacket is on my list, but I suspect it will be some time before I can afford a repro at lost worlds/buzz rickson prices...

    B-2 History?

    I really like almost everything about this jacket, but I couldn't find any other information about it. The Lost Worlds site tells me it was in production for the Army Air Corps in the early '30s. Is this an actual historical jacket, and does anyone else make a reproduction/similar item?

    Any opinions on Gibson and Barnes "Raider" jacket

    Really? I spent a large portion of my life trying to look exactly like that man! If only I had owned one of these jackets.... I would never have shaved my head! :cool:

    Lost Worlds Ryder: Just Arrived!

    I'm jealous. I bought a Ryder from that sale page, and my sleeves are bit too short. I can allay your fears concerning that back-bubble though, mine did that exact same thing, and went away after a couple months good wear. That's my one complaint with this model, the big arm holes. The...

    Cheaper Half Belts?

    The wording was exactly the same when I bought a 34 in russet, and I was a bit confused as well. I shot them an email and they said they still had some other sizes in brown. I'm inclined to think the sale page is just poorly worded, and that the size 40 is just more expensive than the other...

    Cheaper Half Belts?

    Yes, actually. I posted some in this thread when I got it: http://thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?t=34019&page=6
