Just wanted to throw my 2 cents in. I have purchased quite a few things from WPG and have been for the most part very satisfied. But, I always order clothing items a minimum of one to two sizes up. Anything from Pakistan will be at least be one to two sizes smaller than what is stated. A...

I also have purchased from Sanjay. The RAF dress uniform was fine except for the buttons which were rather plain and of poor quality. I replaced them with King Crown ones from E-bay. The hat was of good quality also except for stiching on the badge which needed to be resewn. But, the boots were...

Had to Log In because I just wanted to say that I have been following your progress and your jacket looks great. The only problem I can see is that it wil cost me money because I will have to start saving so I can order a jacket for myself. Thanks for the post

My dad was in the Army from 39-46 he brought back all he could carry. His friend from the same town when he got home and emptied his duffle bag found that someone had put a 50 cal in it, another found that a Jeep had followed him home. All of them would reminise and say how they missed the...

One of my favorite things I see in movies that were made durning and after WWII, especialy by REPUBLIC STUDIOS, is anytime a pilot goes into a dive he leans forward into the insturment panel which is imposible since you are wearing a harness and when anyone has to bail out there is never any...

UNCOMMON VALOR with Gene Hackman Tears of the Sun with Bruce Willis Battle of Britain, 12 o'clock High and Peice of Cake are on equal ground Tombstone with Kurt Russel The Quick and the Dead Gene Hackman BEST YEARS OF OUR LIVES

Just another few words. I beleive to get ahead in this world you have to be noticed. No one will notice you if you look like and act like, that is to a certain extent, everyone else. Take Michael Jordan, a fantastic gifted basketball player but what set him above the rest was how he acted off...

I consider myself fortunate. I live in a area that still considers one underdressed if you wear a suit without a tie unless it's a sportcoat at the golf club. My favorite time is at the holidays where wives will try to out do each other with either designer or couture. I beleive it is the women...

Thought I would put my 2 cents in. My Dad entered the Army in 1939 because he smelled a war comming. I voluntered in 68 but the Recruter said that I should wait till I finished school but was drafted in 70 anyways. The men in our family aren't to bright. I like to collect but just can't see...

Have you ever gone to the site GUNBROKER.COM. They had Webley's starting at $269. Smith and Wessons are another story but if you go to some of the swap meets, you can still pick up pistols in the 200 plus range. But there is a waiting period and you have to have a liscense, at least here in...

I have a body shop and if they have been sitting in a feild on grass for any length of time they are not worth saving. The frame and floors of the cars would be completely gone. The trim would be pitted. We had a 1941 Cadillac that sat in the yard of a neighbor for at least the last 50 years...

A little off subject but I was fortunate to see one of the last Burlesque shows in Chicago. What's funny is, picture 9 boys the oldest being 16 and the youngest being 14 driving the family wagon down to Chicago to see the show. I was 15 years old at the time and one kid was so short he hardly...

Has anyone purchased anything from Air Diggers. I would like to know about quality, time it takes to complete a purchase and how they respond to complaints if any. Thanks

I have to go along with General Patton. I think the German uniforms of WWII are the best. My favorites are Luthwaffa and one that I don't want to get any flack over.

In the 60's I would wear my B-3 with my cut off jean jacket that had my motorcyle patches and chains on it over my B-3. I road a knucklehead straight leg frame with a springer front end with a 12 inch extension. It gets cold in Chicago but the jacket kept me warm. I think if you layer properly...
