    Vintage Style vest / singlets...

    Looking for a source of vintage style vest / singlet...(not the string variety) Pike Bros were selling some nice ones but this years version are hideous IMHO with a deep square neckline making them like something a circus strongman would wear on a bad night.

    G-1 / M-422A Tribute Fantasy Jacket 2

    Just about to embark on my second budget G-1 / M-422A USN 'Fantasy' Jacket (1st attempt back in 2015, very close but no cigar). First attempt was a 'keeper' really but being in a ruthless mind-set at the time I moved it on (zippering final quarter of jacket caused a bit of mild leather pull)...

    Alpha Nylon CWU 45-P USA Made Civvy Jackets

    Just picked up a couple of these in nylon, Black & the Olive Green version pictured. They make a great beater, XL fits as an XL chest and shoulders should (for me), though quite short relatively speaking in length and sleeves (which works for me) & nipped in at the waist. Lightly lined the...

    Cleaning Nylon Flight Wear

    Afternoon Gents, I've just lost my UK specialist military wear dry cleaners & restorers (Bradleys of Milton Keynes). My L-2B needs a clean (too many parties), does anyone have a good UK dry cleaning source? Out of interest also, has anyone handwashed these items & if so what were the results...

    Alpha 'Ground Pounder' MA-1 2000 XL

    Just picked up this curious thing: Very late XL MA-1 (2000) if it is a service issue Ground Crew Jacket. No country of manufacture on label, lining like a CWU 45P, feels like wool knits & short fit like it goes over a flight suit. Zippers are marked 'Alpha' & have a civilian vibe though...

    ELC Monarch A-2 'Warhorse' HH Jacket Size 48

    It's been a time coming (raising the £££), but the ELC Monarch A-2 has finally arrived. Moved on my beloved RW A-2 size 46 just before Xmas (got married with that jacket in attendance) due to it never being 'quite' comfortable enough (a bit strait-jacket) Going up to the 48 Monarch contract...
