    Horsehide / Vegetable or Chromium Tanned

    Good Wear uses both. There are pros and cons to both leathers. And both are period correct for the era of jackets these makers produce.

    Buzz Rickson B-10 Jacket/ Trade for Tanker

    Thanks Clint. I think it'll work, I have an A-2 that has similar measurements. I'm assuming the back length does not include the knits?

    Buzz Rickson B-10 Jacket/ Trade for Tanker

    I'll take it if the measurements "measure up". Yeah, I know bad joke. I'm normally a 46/48 in the A-2 category but have heard B-10s run a little larger.

    I always like to see stuff like this and am happy to contribute, just wish I had more to offer. I do have some badges from his career as a local police officer that I'll post photos of if anyone is interested.

    Grampa's Navy swag.

    I know what you mean Stearmen. There are guys that collect the WWII Zippos but I don't know how rare they are. I have seen documentaries that mention the tank crews comparing the Sherman to the Ronson.

    Grampa's Navy swag.

    I showed this to a good friend of mine who served as a SeaBee. He thought it was pretty damned cool. It's a G.Sons No.21. I know most of the collectors are into Zippo's but I think one of the coolest things about this is that it's not. I love the dragon engraving.

    This is what I find fascinating about the military. How'd ya like to be this eighteen year old kid on his his first trip away from Wisconsin and someone gives you one of these. Like being in the ultimate secret club! My grandfather loved the navy, and I can see why. ADVENTURE!! This is a credit...

    Photobucket isn't being cooperative so links will have to be used, sorry. I don't know what piece of uniform this was from. Possibly dress blues.

    Grampa's Navy swag.

    In response to LittleOwls thread in the outerwear section I thought I would post some pics of some stuff I inherited from my grandfather from his navy days in WWII. This is just an old music box with the guts ripped out and a navy anchor nailed to the top. I remember it from when I was a...

    Peacoat with Dragon

    Interesting stuff Savoy. I don't want to hijack LittleOwls post so I'm going to start a thread in the display case section. I don't have much to show off but kind of cool, I think.

    Peacoat with Dragon

    My Grandfather served in the navy aboard the USS Delta (AR-9) which was a repair ship. He and your uncle could have been shipmates. His peacoat had a dragon embroidered in the lining. My cousin Heather has the coat now and takes very good care of it. I've been meaning to see if she could take...

    Agreed. For the price they are asking it should be expected.

    Aero Jackets in really cold weather

    I don't believe it for one minute. Horse or cowhide or goat or otherwise. How many cars have leather interiors in the regions that fall under these climates? My Jeep Grand Cherokee has seen -40 to -60 farenheit with no problem. B-3's had horsehide trim and were used in the same climate.

    Aero Jackets in really cold weather

    I'm from Wisconsin and it gets down to the -30 range in the winter here. What kind of temps are you expecting and what jacket are you thinking about wearing? Around here when it gets really cold I go with my Mountain Hardware Sub Zero jacket. After a week in below zero temps I give up trying...
