My father used to say that military clothing comes in only two sizes...too large and too small.

Was your Dad Will Rogers? Sounds like something he'd say - brilliantly spot on.My father used to say that military clothing comes in only two sizes...too large and too small.AF

No, but odd you mention him. Family lore says I'm somehow kin to Will Rogers on my father's side.

I think it was this sharp looking guy myself:I think I'm related to one of the Sons of the Pioneers...and no..not Festus.. It was the dark haired good looking guy that sang harmony with Rogers!

Hmmm, love that coat.
Similar to my morning coat from the later 19/early 20th C.
Nah, JWB. lolAF got it right...
I'm wearing my A-1 still. Yeah, some guys are wearing shorts, but **** 'em! I will wear it until it's too hot to do so. In fact, I was at a Young Dubliners show on Saturday, and got a lot of compliments on it, but it was nice and cool out.Coming from southern California it's so odd to hear that elsewhere it is too cold for an A-1 jacket. Right now I just wish it were cool enough to wear my Buzz Rickson A-2 jacket. I mean, actually I do wear it, but that's just because I try to justify wearing a jacket to myself when most other people are donning shorts.

Thanks Flash. It's a Good Wear. Pondering my order now whether to stick with the A-2 or move it to an A-1.People with 'taste' clearly acknowledging a gent with good taste! Top stuff! BTW, which maker is your A1 from?
