    Differences between USAF heavy flying trousers

    I'd like to know if there are differences of sorts like different pockets and such in D-1 and A-11 models. I haven't seen them for comparison but they look alike on the internet :D but it puzzles me if they are practically the same and they have completely different names..

    Differences between USAF heavy flying trousers

    Hello, I've been looking for D-1A trousers to match my N-2A jacket. I have read it would be a correct match but then there is A-11C that looks like the same to me as D-1A. My question is, is there differences in the design? Can't really find any info on it. May be my lacking search abilities...

    Cuff Replacement Tutorial

    Great tutorial, thanks! Has anyone replaced cuffs to a nylon winter jacket. I have replacement cuffs for my N-2A but I yet have to figure out how to do it. Can it be done without removing the whole sleeve lining first?

    Here is a link to the auction. It doesn't tell if it is a #10, but the look is not like a paper clip to my eyes. Look is very different to the one used with N-2A's...

    Thanks for the tip. I hesitated to bid due to heavy shipping costs to europe and missed that auction, but I'll keep searching. Mash has one suitable zipper I think but I'll try finding a cheaper one first for a while :s

    Here is a pic of an original puller from an ebay jacket listing. I wouldn't mind if the look isn't exactly the same if it works, but of course more original looking the better

    where to get a crown replacement zip for an BR L-2A (alternatively....)

    Hi Dany, thanks for reply! The jacket is missing the puller. That is the part I'm hoping to find. Original, repro or something that fits the "railroads".

    Some question on my n-2b and in general.

    Hi, I checked your posts before I registered and got an answer to the same question I would have had about dating the jacket :) Very nice. I think I need a mint condition jacket in L-size too. My hands are a bit gorilla-style model so wouldn't mind a jacket with more arm lenght. Nice to know you...
