    Mr. Freedom/Toyo Enterprises (who make Buzz Rickson's and Sugar Cane products) made the denim coat styled like a pea coat the other year. It looked really cool but expensive as hell. Also, Schott currently makes a denim version. NH

    BTW, in the old Irvin thread someone posted a pic of an original Irvin that had the symbol of a motorcycle club painted on it, thus implying that the jacket was used post-war on a bike. NH

    Aero B-3 on a motorcycle?

    Perhaps a B-2, which is lined in Alpaca wool and made with horsehide would be the way to go. Stu at Lost Worlds notes that the B-2 is similar to some early motorcycle jackets. http://www.lostworldsinc.com/B-2_Horsehide_Leather_Flight_Jacket.htm NH

    Vintage Travel Pillows

    I recently saw four different national park travel pillows in Sundance Catalog. I believe that the Sundance pillows are made by catstudio, which also makes pillows for all of the states. So does anybody own vintage examples of such pillows and would be willing to share some pictures? NH
