I like the aftermarket grill on yours Jeff. It's a Roush hood scoop on mine, same with the window louvers. Agreed on the extra juice....I put a Roush cold air intake, chip tweak, Ford Racing (Borla made) exhaust from headers back on mine. It certainly gets up and moves and makes a beautiful...

Jeff - I love your choice! That would also be the same as mine: Merry Christmas, -Kevin

Wow....nice detective work Andrew. There's no doubt that CBI patch is the same. I just did a side by side and even had the wife look. That is the same patch now for sale on that Poughkeepsie/Aero, whatever it really is. It would be an amazing coincidence for all those hand-made details, stitch...

I've often admitted that Bronco followed by Rough Wear were probably my two favorite A-2 designs. For me, It started off that I liked the noticeably different aesthetics of the collar, beveled pocket corners, sharp scalloped flaps and the Crown Zipper. I also liked that it was made in NYC and...

There you go guys, moved over to vintage. Take care, -Kevin

I certainly lost a great deal of the spark of enthusiasm I once had for the subject. Looking at my own posts confirms that my limited contributions were mostly on non-jacket topics. Further, I've sold off 3/4 of a once large collection. As the fall weather sets in and I'm actually wearing a...

My favorite is the big old boy in the first picture, far right with his hood up. He just looks funny standing there! I also love the staged publicity photos like the second. There are bunch of them taken with the same premise - a whole gaggle of men preteding to gather arround a mission map in...

Probably an Aero, but from what I can see in the pictures, the other choice as to what it could be is a Poughkeepsie. -Kevin

Same thing happened to me when I sold a couple of A-2s a few weeks ago. I was pissed like everybody else. The scary part is that a buyer could potentially screw you out of payment by saying that the item was never received. Especially, when shipping to a foreign country where electronic delivery...

Those two are mine. They are in mint condition, but I need to cut back. -Kevin

Similar to a wallet mark or 'Skoal ring' in the back pocket of an old pair of jeans, one of the originals in my collection has the distinct outline of a Zippo in both an upright and sideways position in the lower inside corner of the left pocket. I borrowed an old Zippo from a cigar smoking...

Nice pics Marcel! I can't pick one favorite. I'm a fan of the brunettes. There are a handful in there that would work for me. There is a camel....or at leat part of a camel hiding somewhere in that first picture. Does anyone else see it??? -Kevin

I think those two color categories are very missleading and probably because of the modern reproduction market. The more I learned over the years, the less I like the either or of if it ain't seal brown, then we have to call it russet. There was certainly a range of browns used. I've seen an...

I love Broncos in general and that is what my GW on order is. It will be done in darker russet horse. The tailored suit-like cut fits my frame very well. Everyone talks about how great John's Doniger and Dubow are (...and rightfully so, they are!) But, his Bronco pattern is also perfect. Going...

Just remember, John is a one man show. The more orders he processes, the more happy customers, which means more hype is generated which leads to more orders and more e-mail he must answer, more supplies he must keep stock of. Further, this is a picky bunch to make happy. I don't envy his job at...
