    Is the B3 jacket "too much"?

    First, Welcome. Second, You are Portly, So What ? Great! It probably fits outstanding. Third, Your idiot colleague is an idiot? I think you already knew that. The rest of the world's disapproval is your confirmation.

    Buzz Rickson A-2

    I too like the contrast stitching and two tone leather. I like the slimmer fit also, and wouldn't mind some more contrast on the knits.

    USN G1 Flight Jacket Sizing

    I tend to agree, Mil Spec G-1 sizing runs large. They have action backs which provide for loose fit and movement. I wear 38, and my A-2's in 38 are way more snug than the G-1. I think a 36 would still do me on the G-1.

    Size help - Cooper A2

    I have two Cooper A-2 jackets. Both are from the early 1980's time frame. Both are 38R and mil spec, and measure exactly 40" chest. One is dark seal color, the other is more russet and has a velcro patch. The Cooper jackets are known for being closer to vintage size. My chest is 38", my waist is...

    My new Aero A2-38-1711-P in FQHH - 2nd (and final) try.

    I was thinking the same thing. Keep us updated as it breaks in. Take some pics with your arms crossed too.

    A2s in the Jet Age

    That's too attainable. Flight needs to remain a dream way out there in my imagination. If it is within reach, it isn't a dream, and dangerous in my hands. A girl at work has several ultralights, her boyfriend is always offering to take me up. I know what motorcycles and fast cars do to me, I...

    I love the Fed IV!!

    Tommy Gun, You need to have a hat stretcher also. If you have hats, one is required. You can skillfully resize up or shrink one down and keep it just right.

    Coldest Weather I've been in

    I read through this thread and kept trying to think of something cute to say, but It's all drained out of me now. I'm scared of some of the cold you guys have seen. I don't like this game.

    Question about fountain pens

    When I was talking about Scientific note taking, I meant in a Lab notebook, for R&D. The only thing that should be used there is a plain cheap Bic stick pen.

    Question about fountain pens

    Glad to see someone picking up the fountain pens. I've got a Pen "fetish". I think anyone who learns, studies, teaches, writes, thinks for a living would gravitate to good writing tools and paper too. If you are teaching as a grad student, get a special pen for grading papers and put red ink in...

    Shoes with grey suit for wedding...

    The only real guideline that I have been taught, and it is easy. Rule #1 Shoes need to be darker than the suit. Rule # 2 Then, after that, I always keep all of the leather in the same color; brown shoes = brown belt = brown wallet = brown watch strap. Or all black leather if going that...

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    Dear TheDane, Yes, I have a hard time expressing my feelings. I think that you may have been blessing me out there for a moment. I was somewhat thinking "Right-On!" at first until I understood what I was reading. When I rant, I get frustrated and talk dummer than I really am. I am also well...

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    I love the fact that most people don't wear hats. That's why I love doing it. I think everyone else is stupid for not wearing hats, and for the most part they are. Just like they can wear hideous dumb looking clothes and listen to really bad music and consume whatever advertisers target at them...

    I love the Fed IV!!

    Xbeatles4x, I don't know how you feel about it, but. I prefer to seriously abuse my hats. It really makes them look better. For me at least. I'm not a suit and tie kind of guy. I'm more of a denim jeans and over-all, backwoods, world's most handsome "moonshiner" kind of guy. The color of your...
