So I take a peak at Wikipedia's page on A-2 jackets and I see a list of manufacturers with an name I've never seen before. P. Goldsmith and Sons, according to Wiki, made 25 jackets before Security Aviation Togs. I did a bit of research and it looks like they made baseball equipment; gloves...
I love to make classic cocktails. Speaking of variety not quantity, my liquor stock can rival most bars and restaurants. One thing missing however, was Cherry Heering, no longer... On to the Singapore Sling!
So, after researching and trying to figure out which recipe to start with, I'm left...
Aside from military hats, what do like to go with your military coat or jacket? A-2 and a fedora- of course, but what about the others? A-1s, Irvins, Tankers, B-10s, ANJ-4s, M-69s, N-1s, B-3s, or whatever you have in your collection and wear.
I'd love to see pictures if you have any to post!
Was this discussed yet? I just found it.

To me it looks blousey as an A-1- generous in the waist. But it looks just like the...
Two of my favorites;
Ti Punch
A few ounces of white rum, the juice of a lime and splash of sugar syrup go into a tumbler with the zest of that lime muddled at the bottom, covered with lots of crushed ice.
Batavia Arrack Punch
5 parts Batavia Arrack
4 parts strong brewed black tea

I feel like I might do this too often, start a thread asking to match some clothing.
I'm wearing *blah blah blah* to my friends wedding- What shoes/tie/socks/blazer etc. ? Maybe a sort of "ask a question get an answer" thread?[huh] Just don't expect me to answer any of the questions.:o
If...
What has changed about you since joining the Fedora lounge? My examples I'll keep short; My new love of spectator and saddle shoes and, a new found appreciation of roses. As much as I love to talk about myself, I'm really more interested in what others have to say. It doesn't have to be...
Can you offer up any photos of you or others wearing combinations that black and white spectators go well with.
I have the navy blazer and white trousers, so maybe something else?
Thank you,
Chris M.
While I had the camera out and the hat on. Here's a D-1 I bought from a revered member here.
Aero D-1 Redskin, in size 42. I rolled the sleeves a bit to accommodate my shortness. :o
I secretly long to match my dog. Got the nose, coat color is close.
If you've got a little nerve, patience, and a spot in your refrigerator that will remain around 35 degrees Fahrenheit, then give this a try. What you're doing is really just drying the roast a bit to concentrate the flavors. Little is done to break down muscle fibers and you probably won't get...
Liquors, beers, wines, concoctions. There are some that make you wonder- What were they thinking?!
Have have two in my bar right now;
Gordon's Grapefruit Gin & Gordon's Spearmint Gin.
Blah! *yucky* Nothing slightly appealing about either one. I tried the Grapefruit Gin in a Gimlet, wound...
Before I cook down the tomatoes I grow for making sauce, I remove the seeds and all the juice surrounding them. With the same food-mill I use to strain the cooked tomatoes, I run the seeds through to extract the liquid.
This year I grew San Marzano, Beefsteak, and Cherry Grande.
Juice and...
What food would you treat yourself to once a week, if it wouldn't blow your food budget?
I would go for American lobster, homarus armericanus. I like spiny lobsters, but their taste comes nowhere near to that of their northern cousins.
I used to work with a couple of lobstermen in the late...
Not much on this new movie about the Tuskegee Airmen. The release date is still to be announced. Word has it that they'll be wearing Good Wear Jackets.
I have a cedar closet in my basement that I use for my hats and off season clothing. Since it's below ground and away from the finished portion of my basement I need to keep a dehumidifier running in it for the summer months. I normally just run it at a median setting.
My question:
Does any...
Either with coffee and a tipple, milk or tea.
Now that summer is gone I look forward to two of my favorites; Treacle Tarts and Plum Pudding.
What ends your meal?
Can anyone offer advice for waterproofing a straw hat?
I just got back from Bencraft on 236 Broadway in Brooklyn (What a selection, and really nice guys too!) I didn't think to ask in the store and I didn't have a cell to call back.
Maybe someone has done a treatment of some sort to repel...
My friend’s father worked on this report shortly after WW II. After he left the service, the Army contacted him to return the contents of his locker and this report was in it. After my friend’s father had passed, I had the opportunity to look this over a few times. All very interesting; Maps...
