    Stetson Temple

    I have a Stetson Temple in Mink color. I bought it over 30 years ago at the Stetson factory when it was in St. Joseph, Missouri. It is a very good quality fur; Sovereign is the Stetson designation for it. It has been worn in the rain, snow, sleet and blazing sun. I brush it with a horsehair hat...

    Sub $300 USA Made A-2's

    I agree. This site has never limited the discussion to A-2 stitching and leather and pattern. I remember when MK started this place; it was always open to anyone that had something to say or a question to ask. Personally, I have posted many times about my US Wings goat A-2 2000. I’m quite sure...

    Help with A2 Flight Jacket

    I got a US Wings A-2 2000 in goatskin about a year ago. For $195.00 it's a heck of a jacket. Not 100% WWII accurate but it's close enough for me, and it wears like iron. Still looks new after a year of heavy use. Regards, Forrestal

    US Wings Current A-2 Sale

    Saw this thread this morning and for $195.00 I had to pull the trigger. A2-2000 dark brown goat skin. Now the obvious next question is how quickly does US Wings process and ship their orders? Anyone know????? Regards, Forrestal

    77 Sunset Strip being remade

    When in L.A. last month, I drove over to 8524 W. Sunset Blvd., where Dino’s Lodge was. This is where they filmed a lot of the exteriors for the series; there never was an address 77 Sunset Strip. In the sidewalk at that address you can see this….. Regards, Forrestal

    overnight bag

    Here is my overnight bag. I found it in an antique store for $20.00. It’s VERY heavy cowhide, and completely leather lined. After several applications of Lexol the leather is virtually like new. There are no manufacturer’s marks on it, so I’m guessing it was made in the 40’s or 50’s. If...

    what happened to Bass Weejuns?

    Davestlouis, I used to go to Boyd's on Forsythe in Clayton, to get my Weejuns. I can remember paying $19.95 a pair.....but that was in 1966, Too bad Boyd's is out of business. There is a Bass outlet store in Sikeston, Missouri. They should have them; I can't speak to their quality though...

    Does Anyone Drink Rye Whiskey?

    I hope my friend Bill Samuels at Makers Mark won’t get made at me and take my name off the plaque on Makers Mark barrel #796929 for saying this, but I really like Pappy Van Winkles Rye. Pappy Van Winkles can be so hard to find that last time I had to go to the distillery to buy 2 bottles...
