    Willis & Geiger G-1 repros

    W&G made some really nice quality clothing back in the 1980’s. They had a store in Oxford Ms with everything W&G produced. Ihad a A-2 from W&G which wasn’t close to anything, as they never made contract A-2’s, but it was comfortable and fit me really well. If my memory serves me, W&G got into...

    Sell or trade

    Just asking, if I have an item for sale in the Buy/Sell forum can I also include a trade feeler? I have a jacket that's too small, and I would entertain a trade for a similar jacket one or two sizes larger. I wanted to ask rather than post and run afoul of the rules. Thanks

    I’m getting the same message. I deleted Tapatalk and reinstalled on my iPad, but still getting the same message. I had to go to the netversion to get on.

    Jacket fit for the unfit!!

    As I grow older, I suffer from the inevitable weight distribution that occurs with many of us. I look back at my A-2 purchases over the years and much to my dismay, the sizes have progressed from 42 to now 46. Unfortunately my Real McCoys Roughwear is fitting a bit snug at the waist. Invariably...

    How to part with your collection when you.......

    That is and interesting question and one that I am facing now as I just turned 75. I had a pretty nice collection of vintage watches which I had intended to pass on to my kids,who are now both middle age. I decided that because they knew nothing of the value they would probably get taken...

    My First B-3 Jacket from Simmons Bilt. Fit Advice Welcome!

    You are absolutely correct. I have found over 40+ years of watch collecting that if something doesn’t resonate with you from the onset, it never will!! You are never going to like this jacket. Never! I can assure you it will only get worse, not better. If you have the opportunity to send it back...

    Willis & Geiger A-2 contracts?

    Thanks guys. That is what I suspected. I have the Eastman book and there is no mention of W&G having contract(s) from the 1930’s through the end of WWII.I thought that possibly they may have had a post war contract but it looks like their labels listed “fantasy” contracts. Sent from my iPad...

    Willis & Geiger A-2 contracts?

    Last night,I was looking at jacket photos of A-2’s I’ve owned. Several were of a Willis & Geiger A-2. This jacket had a contract label with a contract number. One glaring discrepancy between this and other reproductions is the lining. The W&G had a rayon lining. So, my question is, did Willis &...
