    F/S ELC Star Sportswear size 40

    I'm selling my size 40 ELC Star Sportswear. Wore it for a year in total, maybe a bit more, but flew a lot, so it got really nicely broken in with amazing grain. Only damage is 2 stitches that got undone, see pics. I would never part with it if I was 1-2 inches shorter, but no point keeping it...

    Bronson MA-1 review

    I know, one can buy an original MA-1 on Ebay at a decent price. I didn't want to, due to it being hard to be sure of the size, no returns, dirty, sweaty, knits needing replacement, etc...I wanted my own jacket. Some would disagree, but let's move forward to the review. I had a "mall" Alpha...

    G-1 patching help

    I have a plan. I'd really like to buy an AVI G-1, and patch it. I think G-1-s look especially good patched. I wouldn't go the Top gun way, but I'd like to turn it into a fictional G-1 of Cmdr. Richard Owens - CAG from "Final Countdown". So I researched countless pictures of patched G-1s, and I'm...

    FS: M1982 MIG Jacket

    Due to it being too large and saving money for other jackets, I decided to part with this unique jacket that's next to irreplaceable with a heavy heart. An M1982 jacket, used by the Hungarian Air Force between 1982 and 199x. I bought it from a Major through an acquaintance. It's in mint...

    USAAF crusher caps

    Hi, I'm looking for a WW2 USAAF crusher cap in OD color. Can you recommend a good, reasonably priced maker? This one doesn't look bad, but it doesn't have the crushed look either. I wonder if I can just simply remove the wire or whatever is inside: https://qmi.be/visor-hat-officers-men-od.html...

    Womens' sheepskin jackets?

    My girlfriend really loves my Irvin, and she says she would love to have a sheepskin flying jacket too. There's a twist though: she's not such a fanatic as me, and 1000 USD is way above her price range. Can you recommend a cheap alternative? As a plan B I might buy her a B-17 jacket, probably...

    How to shrink jeans

    Hi, I bought a pair of Lee 101 Rider selvage jeans, size W32 L34 - a size that is usually a perfect fit. The jeans arrived, and it would be the perfect pair, if only the waist wasn't a little too large. approx 1-1.5 inches too large. Is there a way to shrink them to fit me better without losing...

    Officers' pink shirt options?

    I'm looking at buying an officer's pink shirt. What are my options? Eastmans look great, but I'm afraid they ran out of stock SoF has them, but the pockets are not arched WPG has them but looks a bit too dark and not as good a SoF Spearhead militaria also has them but they have dark buttons...

    1982M - A rare flying jacket

    A friend of mine works at an Air Force base in Hungary. He told me that there's a Major who is looking to sell his old 1982M flying jacket, because they have new regulation jackets now and he cannot wear this one anymore. It was used from the 80s to the 90s. I immediately said YES! I bought it...

    Zipper pullers on A-2 jackets

    Please enlighten me, I don't know anything about this topic. All I know is that there was a piece of leather attached to the zipper of my Cockpit A-2 - and it was very handy- , and now there is nothing on my Eastman Star. Were original jackets equipped with this tiny leather strap? Was it just...

    Pants to go with my A-2

    Having recently purchased an Eastman Star A-2, I'm wondering if there are any WWII pants that would go well with it, but doesn't look so vintage that I could only pull it off at a reenactment. I'm hesitating between the M1937 and the USAAF officers' pinks. Which one would you recommend? Any...

    ID these gloves

    Hi All, Could someone please ID these gloves? They are from the 1948 movie "Fighter Squadron". I'm looking for something that goes well with A-2s, without any cuffs (I don't understand how the A10's cuffs don't interfere with the A-2's cuffs), lighter shade than a seal brown A-2, and tight...
