B10
This type of discusion will never end, as it all comes down to , "I paid far more for my kit than you, therefor, it has to be better". As I said, a repo is still a repo, no matter how much. lol lol lol
If you are happy with what you have, leave it at that. Dont try and justify to other...
Pike
I have a Pike, use it at events, and driving the jeep in. No problems, nice constructed jacket. Of course the purists will say "Its not right, it has the wrong number of stiches in the side pockets! I have an Eastmans one, much better, and only cost £345, great value" ....PAH! :p
Any...
Made
I did not say they were hideously made, just made in a hurry,and maybe to a war time price. They certainly would not have been made to a todays standard of £400 - £500 for an A2? But, we wernt there, so how can we judge anyway, what they lookd like when they were new. Looking over made...
Eastman
I have bought a bit through Estmans, they are very nice, especialy the USAAF O.D. Officers Crusher Cap, which eventually arrived nearly 6 months after ordering it.
So yes they sell very, very lovely things, but a bit over priced, and the waiting time is terrible. If they are going...
Mmmmmm
Plenty to be thinking of in the next coming weeks. Telling the misses that I have spent another £50 on an old jacket (Shhhhhhhh!) What she dont know, wont hurt, untill she does find out that is, OUCH!!! :eusa_doh:
Warmer
So which is warmer then Pike or Aero ?
What about colour. The Expensive Eastmans is quite light khaki shade, were as the Pike and Aero are quite green in colour. does this fade. I would like to know before forking out £200 mail order, on a jacket I have not actually seen.
Transfer
What about the USAAF transfer on the shoulder. The water slides wont work on cloth, where can I get some transfers for cloth, and will they be iron on?
cheers
Moved me
Having just been moved to this thread, which I did not find on the search, I think, by reading down all the replys, that Pike Bros. should be avoided. Is this correct. :p
Which B-10 should I buy ????
Looking at buying a decent B-10 flight jacket. Cant afford the Eastmans one, although very nice, the only other 2 within easy reach, are the Aero B-10 and the Pike B-10. So which is best, Aero or Pike Brothers ? Would like to hear peoples thoughts on quality and...
Water Decals
Can anybody tell me where to get these water slide USAAF decals from? I have seen some on ebay, what is best......
Do they fit on cloth jackets ie B-10s as well as A2s :eusa_doh:
One Piece
Had the great fortune to have a guided tour round this u-boat a few years ago at Berkenhead, when it was in one piece, it was fantastic to walk, hunched up with 10 other people, from end to end , in a 1 1/2 hour talk/walk through. It is a great shame that the public will never know...
All American Garage.
Pride and joy is my lovely 1965 Ford Mustang 2+2 fastback, 289 V8 (4,7Lt). nice and white. On-going project to keep it good, had it for about 10 years now. Also, 1942 Willys MB (jeep), great fun with all the kit and uniforms that go with the 40's war time theme. Last, my...
