    Gibson & Barnes finally arrived

    Very nice construction and attention to detail. No loose threads, all stitches even, and fits well. Sleeves could be 1/2" shorter, but with the way the material lays it's not really too much of a beef. Wish it hadn't taken 9 weeks, but better late than never. I have another name tag coming, but...

    Alpha Industries M65 Field Jacket

    You might not think so if you marched three miles in it when it's 15°F and snowing. Even with the liner, this is not all that warm of a jacket wearing only utilities.

    (KNIVES) Let's see some sharp pointy objects

    Extreme Ratio MF2. Made in Italy.

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    G&B finally shipped my new flight jacket today. Fed-Ex has it now. Next Wednesday delivery with any luck.

    What cigar (or pipe) did you smoke today?

    Same as always. C&D Crooner in a Nuttens Bing. Smoking it now.

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    I've had one like that since '89. I still wear it.

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Screwed again by Gibson & Barnes. No email or call by 1600 Pacific Time so I called to get the tracking number. After being put on hold twice, Rodrigo tells me he doesn't know why my jacket wasn't shipped. Promises to email me when he finds out. 20 minutes later I receive the email telling me...

    DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

    He was great in the Bond movie For Your Eyes Only. Very likeable character.

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Rodrigo at Gibson & Barnes informed me that my new NASA flight jacket will ship tomorrow. I'll believe that when I see tracking information.

    What year was this photo taken (about)?

    He looks a lot like Harry Morgan.

    Viberg service boot - colors don't match....

    That would bother me no matter what the purpose of the boot is. If I received something like that from Meindl they would go right back to where they came from.

    How many new jackets do you have coming (and how many potential ones)?

    Still waiting on my Gibson & Barnes flight jacket. I should have paid attention to the reviews. I called yesterday, and conveniently, the guy in charge of submitting my order either quit or was fired. Three weeks after ordering on the web site, my order had still not been submitted. The man I...

    If Money Was No Object.

    Move to the Swiss Alps somewhere near Chur. Maybe as high as Arosa.

    What cigar (or pipe) did you smoke today?

    Several weeks ago I contacted C&D because my usual on-line retailers were all out of the Crooner. I couldn't find it anywhere. C&D told me that a large shipment of tobacco they were blending was destined for Germany and that it was going to delay Crooner by a couple of weeks. As good as their...

    What cigar (or pipe) did you smoke today?

    Burley and Deertongue.

    What cigar (or pipe) did you smoke today?

    Been smoking my Nutten's Bing model quite a bit with C&D Crooner.

    Show us your Guns!

    That was fast. Do you live next to the distributor?

    Show us your Guns!

    Your HK P7/13 would look nice with a set of Nill-Griffschaft grips from Germany. In the past, this company supplied factory grips for all of the major European brands including Walther, SIG, and SIG-Sauer.

    New Sunglasses to go with a leather jacket

    You will likely have to double that figure, or nearly so, to get a quality pair of glass lens sunglasses. Randolph Engineering is a brand I've been wearing since '83, but their prices have skyrocketed over the decades. Serengetti is a solid choice that is cheaper with glass lenses, and Persol...
