    My Aero 42-18775-P // 2 years

    So it's been almost 2 years since I received my Aero 42-18775-P, and I wore it most of the time since then. I've never baby-sitted it, worn it through pouring rain, slept with it on a couple occasions, and so on. It's been my faithfull companion through thick and thin, and I love the way the...

    Mash A-10 gloves

    Finally picked up my A-10 gloves at the post office yesterday. They are made by Mash Co. LTD in Japan. Others have pointed that Mash is doing the gloves for Eastman, and they are just relabelling them. My very first contact with them was quite disappointing as the nice post office lady advised...

    Braces/suspenders colors

    Folks, I recently bought a work shirt reproduction from Pike Brothers, and am wondering what kind of braces color would go with it, apart from black/dark grey. Here's a picture of the shirt, from the website: Seen the shirt has thin vertical stripes, I recon solid colors would be preferable ?

    WW2 USAAF embossed wings

    Hello folks, I was wondering if USAAF wings embossed on leather WITHOUT any name or rank indications were common in WW2? I'm still on the prowl for a B-10, love the look of the leather wings on them, but I'm not sure I'd like to put my name on display, so this could be one option. Of course...

    Pike Brothers 1958 Roamer Pant // Sz.34-36

    Hello folks, I have an almost new pair of Pike Brothers 1958 roamer for sale. The trouser is 34" in width and 36" in length. The denim is a solid dark indigo, very nicely cut, 15oz selvedge denim. I really love them, but they are a bit too wide for me, should have gone for a 32 or a 33. That's...

    "Civilian" B-10 Jacket by Rumble59

    Hello guys, Just found out Rumble59 in Germany is doing some kind of civilian B-10 jacket. Sure, if you look for a pure B-10 repro, this one won't be for you. There's a brand label instead of the mil-spec one, as well as some brand logo print on the inner wind flap, and the fur is obviously...

    Hello folks, Well, after 15 weeks of waiting, I received my A-2 from Aero this Monday. It's been more than 10 years since I wanted an A-2 jacket, but it's been delayed until now mostly for money reason. I'd say this is a good thing, seen I've discovered TFL in the meantime, and learned a LOT of...

    Alpha A2 fit pic

    Hello guys, what do'you think about the fit of this Alpha A-2? I know it's not period correct, but with the little one coming pretty soon, I'm afraid I won't be able to gather money for a good repro until a while, and this one is only 268USD. Edit: sorry for the crappy pic, had to take a...

    Hello folks, Since there's a couple real expert of flight jackets here, maybe some of you could help.
