    -QUESTION-GARCIA AVIATION

    Guys, I've made a "budget-conscious" decision and decided to go for the CURRENT Garcia Aviation cap for now.

    Which tie?

    I plan on going for the US Wings Khaki (shirt and pants+web belt for the USAAF look) SOMETIME in the near future and wanted to know what tie to get: khaki or black. I've seen a lot of both and didn't know which one was more historically accurate.
