Thanks! Yes, still in Nepal, on the way up to Gosaikunda - although we didn’t make it because our flight was moved to a day earlier and we had to turn back. But it’s a magical place, out of this world.

- B-10 jacket
USAAF Type B-10 Flight Jacket - Olive
The B-10 flight jacket was the first non-leather jacket issued to the USAAF. It was officially commissioned in 1943. The B-10 was the primary flight jacket in World War II, and it was a reliable partner for Army pilots.bronsonshop.com
How do the Bronson sizes work? It says that they are one size smaller so if I am a 42, I order a 44?

But seriously, I've always liked the A-1 based on history, and all -- but it's not my grail.
Cognizant that everyone here is on their own "spiritual" hide journey . My cup overfloweth, you appear to be in pain, would you like to chat?

So, why so much Indy input with A-1 love? Did he wear an A-1 before the Wested? Must have missed that thread at Fedora Lounge.

I think it was occasioned by the grail reference.

Yeah, but it was a presence in his original A-1 love-fest post too. Seriously, why are we mixing vintage leather jacket metaphors here?I think it was occasioned by the grail reference.
(everyone knows this is all joking at the bar, right? I don't want to turn this into a Russian coup thread!
)Oh centuries haha living in Madrid I see a lot of penitentes parades each as its own colours, like purple, black and white nothing to see with kkk gillipollasI'm betting that group had those hoods many eons before the numbskulls over here.

Cool enough early on for my ELC RW27752. Apologies for the very average pic and, to be honest, the very average subject

other than that, nice to wear a piece of flying history...

thank you
in fact it is a small bit too large for my taste, but the fit might look better with a bit more layering underneath...
also the waist knits definitely need replacement as they are a bit worn out...
other than that I enjoy wearing the jacket though, definitely a different feeling to wearing a repro...

Definitely not too small IMO. Getting a tighter waistband will make the jacket seem smaller. I like my jackets a bit loose like that- the way they were meant to be worn. Stars are high quality,thank you
