Very cool jacket -- love the movie too, of course. :-)

"...And more than a few Bumblephuks have been voted to positions in our local government." True words, my man... true words. :D

I like it. Very cool. 8-)

+1. Beauty of a jacket. Sorry to be late to the party; catching up on posts. :D

Thanks for all the sage advice, gents. After much contemplation and reading this thread at least a dozen times, I elected to take Bill up and worked out a trade for my old goat GW Dubow. I think the fit will be about spot on now and I missed the jacket anyway. :) Now Bill can enjoy a...

Good food for thought, gents, as expected. Many thanks for the input.

I am only a piker in this crowd. ;) I have exactly one A-2, a GW Monarch. I have an old heirloom M65 and also a beautiful '49 vintage Navy pea coat. (The older pea coats made with the kersey wool are wonderful.)That's about it, at least from a vintage or jacket collector standpoint. I wear a...

Yep, that one is extra nice.

Love the story of the light. Very cool, and looks good to have been buried in the garden so long! We actually found a rust-encrusted revolver (serious hundred year-old buried relic condition) in the garden at our old house many years ago when I was a boy. Well, our garden was an old agricultural...

Agree that is a good looking Jacket. May have to break down and finally get one.

Very nice! Tell us more.
