    Flight Suits Lamb or Goat is the question!!

    I live in L.A. and have visited the Gibson & Barnes (which are also known as Flight Suits) store in San Diego to purchase a leather jacket. The experience was good and the Gibson & Barnes jackets are superb (and sized to fit the modern human, not 1941's undersized G.I size specs). The Navy's...

    Clarks Desert Boots Lately

    Try Amazon, but be careful to get the ones which are real split leather cowhide. Look at the inside of the shoe to see which ones are real leather and which ones are substitutes.

    Want beater hats, parts, old/shot sweatbands ECT list inside.

    At the risk of stating the obvious... I think your time would be more profitably spent by investing in some strips of roan leather and learning how to sew in a replacement sweatband (with only one seam in the back, by the little bow) so that it is indistinguishable from the original.

    ELC B3 .50cal ... what a shade !

    The color of the jacket you see on your monitor is probably due to the way your monitor's color, brightness, and luminosity is adjusted. Monitors are notoriously imprecise and they easily drift out of adjustment. Never expect an item selected on a website to show up in the precise shade you...

    Big Apple, Newsboy, eight panel flat cap by Broner

    I had been looking for the perfect Big Apple or Newsboy cap for a long time. I wanted one made out of all cotton, so it would age like an old pair of jeans.
