Out in the Switlik today. I’m an Air Force aficionado, but Navy jackets are growing on me fast.

Arthur Beale Oiled Wool Beerenberg® Pullover

High in the Arctic lies the remote Island of Jan Mayen. It is home to Beerenberg, the world’s most Northerly volcano. Outside the freezing wind can howl at 150 knots. But inside it is toasty warm. This Oiled Wool Pullover has been named after the Mighty Beerenberg because it too will keep you...

There was a thread on it similar once about the movie torpedo run

New Custom Project: "Torpedo Run" Air Associates Reproduction

Hello All, I was recently contracted by a customer who wanted a reproduction of a movie jacket from "Torpedo Run", the 1950's war movie. Here is some screen shots of the jacket: At first we thought it was a 37J1 type variant but on closer inspection, I noticed that the collar was folded down...

Thanks for the lead. I racked by brain for the last day and came up with two feature films from WW2. Destination Tokyo (Warner Bros. 1943) and Crash Dive (Fox, 1943). Both had Navy support, and presumably, dictates concerning most/all technical aspects.
I wanted to stay with movies made during the war so there'd be no custom stuff, like Borgnine's jacket in Torpedo Run.
Cary Grant wore a dark, shawl-collared cardigan in some scenes, and he and most wore dark deck jackets the majority of the time. One officer wore an A-2. See below
Crash Dive was lousy with A-2s on the stars and supporting cast.
In my estimation, there would have been NO A-2s unless the Navy supplied &/or approved them.
John Ridgely with Grant. In some scenes, such as this partial shot, Grant's wearing the embroidered, pre-war, left-facing crow.
Tyrone Power in one of several scenes with the A-2, Dana Andrews also had one in many on-board scenes. Last movie Power made before shipping out with the Marines to the Pacific.
And Harry "Col. Potter" Morgan with his beautiful, new A-2.
My new, distressed russet A-2 from Five Star is on order and soon to depart Deutschland, hoffentlich.
Cheers, John

Cold this morning, perfect for a B-3 though. Good thing I didn't buy expensive gloves and forget to wear them

I really like that. Maybe not historically accurate but good looking jacket and a damn nice fit. Camera isn't bad either ;-)

Smithy that's the Spanish made jacket, 84-85 I think, they definitely saw a real B-15 but decided to add a MA-1 orange lining and sleeve pocket and more roomy like a MA-1, did their own thing haha rare though, the company was known for exclusive leather products, gloves, bags and a few jackets, apparently they did a few one offs like this!

Just got this Beauty back from Burt after 3 years of prodding. Dubow 27798 in Shinki HH. This was the first J=jacket John made for me back in 2010. I had a bit more weight on me back then, as it is a size 48. But, nice and comfy now. I never wore it outside when I first got it as I tended to really baby it, {at the same time losing alot of weight}. Burt only wearing it twice since, means I still get to break her in.

Yes, we never know what is waiting just around the corner. Good to see you back and that your friend is over the worse of it.

Yeah it's good to see you back posting Art. I for one have missed your posts and photos.

Been a funny couple of years for a lot of people, glad to hear things seem to be getting back onto an even keel.
