    Which is the best A2 manufacturer you can order from and get a jacket right away?

    I have a US/ A jacket and i am very happy with what i got. it very tough and you do get alot for what you pay for. the reason i went with US/A is that they do run long and that is what i need. I just cant see spending a grand on a jacket

    Staggeringly insulting vendors!

    I myself find some of those "rants" funny as well. At the Front's "Rant" archive (action dolls) is one that is really good and i had cramps from laughing it was so funny. I am in other hobbys and there is one of these guys in almost every vendors page, some are funny and some are insulting. Tom

    My US Authentic A2 arrives!!

    I am 6'8" and a 48T from US/A was a little short. so Shaul made a 50T for me and it fits good. as far as break-in all i did was take a nap on the couch with it on a few times, i have had my seal/HH for a about two years and its looking good.

    Tattoos.

    my take on tattoo's... well I was in the navy from 1981 to 1985 and the only people that got "tats" were the guys in the service. at the time they were not popular outside the military. my observation is they got more popular in the mid to late 1990's at least thats when i started to see them...

    Think you're man enough to handle a BarnStormer flyboy...? No wimps allowed!!

    Wow.. I was thinking Shauls shop to be at least 3000 sq feet. when I figured out the pricing on a US/A jacket compared to an Aero the aero was still 200 bucks more than the US/A, plus i do like the the (mega-tough) horsehide:D Tom
