No problem Bill, it is kinda a "generalized statement" as the majority of the folks that do aircrew like the uniforms and such. ( I do too) A sentimental attachment is great that just makes you do it properly in order to honor relative.  Scott |

I've got fleece jackets from Eastman, Aero and LW. I have to say my favorites overall are from Aero. It takes a couple of years of wear to get them original looking at it should be. I really haven't had an issue with import duties from them, and they are VERY sympathetic with both exchange rates and mailing costs. They often make adjustments to offset them. As for Eastman, I really like my 'redskin' from them, but for over a grand, it damn well better be! Their contract and house jackets do little for me. As for LW, the A-2 and B-3 I have from them are damn near bullet proof! Nice jackets both, but not quite up to the strict accuracy the others strive for. If you want to order from Stu, don't mention the other makers or he'll ban you from his products. He;s just that way! I do know that John (Good Wear) is considering going into fleece. At the moment though, he is chugging along fine with his current line. Josh, your impression is A-1. Your more than welcome to join us at Oshkosh. Mike www.warbirdslhg.com |
