That Gloster Gladiator in the photo with Paddy is one heck of an accessory.:eusa_clap
Yes it is, it’s not antique, though our house is filled with antiques. My wife and I love antiquing. But after that picture was taken we need to concentrate on paint. The house still has the same wall paint the builder did in 2003 (TAN).The Wolf said:I wear just about anything with my A2. The one thing I strongly suggest you wear with an A2 is trousers. It just isn't long enough to go without.

CBI said:I own a number of A-2's and agree that they look good with just about anything. Frequently, its just throwing one on over whatever I am wearing at the time - but the shirt has to be tucked in. Often, just a white t-shirt and jeans is all you need (but with some nice leather shoes or boots!) I have made an effort to buy a few pairs of khakis that are high waisted (dressy cotton Ralph Lauren chinos for example). These jackets were designed in an era of higher waisted clothing. So many pants these days are low riders!!!!! Shirt's - cotton dress/casual, usually a solid color, love the tie option but rarely go there. In the cold I often wear my repro WWII AAF service shoes (boots) from What Price Glory or At the Front??? GREAT boots. The khakis and boots "suggest" a period look that I think looks good with an A-2. Ok, I am going to finish typing and dive under my desk ................ this IS the FEDORA Lounge but the hats (as cool as they look) are a bit much, a little too costume-ish for me .......... diving now!!!!
