Flight Jacket Scarves

[D97x7]

Like a shadow from the tomb, halloween thread resurrection
Just received these from 5 Star, they're rather nice I must say. Probably won't be wearing them with an A-2 but as it's the only 5* jacket I own it seemed appropriate for a photo on their FB page.

i like a silk scarf but they don't go with everything, still a good way to dress up on outfit without a tie. i have a white one with the fringe tassels from soho scarves, though again it's a little fussy for most occasions. would like one of the big square parachute silk AAF scarves, and a red biker scarf like my hero Kamen Rider.

Which color did you choose for the blue one?
On the 5* site the only blue ones seem to be way more bright in color what prevents me from buying, but yours look good

With all due respect… there is not a single photo nor reference where a pilot or any combatant wore a survival map (Most are not even silk despite “the wordings “) arround his neck…
Happy to be proven wrong with evidences

Every now and again, I will don one of my original cbi, theater made scarfs. One is navy blue the other off white (originally white). Either one of those or a 1930s-40s paisley job. Vintage scarfs can still be found in very good condition, and for reasonable dough. Advice: don’t get the tassels caught in a zipper. If that happens extract each strand of the tassel individually to free up the zipper.

I just ordered the blue from that page, must admit though the photos weren't up when I did so I assumed it was the same as the Facebook photo, which it was. The link pictures went up later and I'm thinking they're just not very good.

I have a choice

The "silk" chart is original, a lifeboat chart for the south China seas and Japan. It was going into the lining of a BK G1 had I ever bought one.
The evening scarf is silk, vintage, bought in the 80's in a little shop in Glasgow. The parachute scarf is my go to. (I didn't make a combat drop). Got it about 20 years ago when they were still reasonably easily come by.

I never saw any evidence to, but I’m not a renactor.

I’m pretty sure any pilot or any combatant wore an A-2 with blue jeans and sneakers too.

You know someone is digging up a picture right now just to prove you wrong.

I am thinking someone USMC or Navy in denims and PT shoes ?

Even the army had a denim work uniform for a while.

(Not many A-2s in navy service. )

Inter service "swaps" !
One of my guys tried to bring back a Dutch FAL instead of his L1a1.
