Just got some cooler weather (40' s and 50's here in the Fort Worth Tex area. Brought out my NZ Real McCoys Monarch and Dubow A-2's. Most favorite of the herd.

Wow! what a reference site. Thanks for your time consuming work.

My Dad was a Glider mechanic and Crew chief on the WACO CG4A Gliders with the 59th Troop carrier squadron. They were stationed at Barkston Heath and participated in D-Day and Market Garden. I saw a picture of him in his A-2 thought he looked cool so bought my first one 40 years ago buying and...

First of all Mxhe x welcome to the forum. I just re upped a few months ago but I can tell you if you are serious about this hobby there is a wealth of knowledge here. Don't ever hesitate to ask a question. As far as your concern about water proofing horsehide I had the same question about my...

Does anyone recognize who made this jacket?

Finally got some pictures of the Poughkeepsie

Thanks Danny Am assuming the glue is rubber cement like we had in school... I am talking the dark ages. Will try that.. most of the holes are relatively small. I have an RMNZ Rough Wear that the waistband is really trashed by moths. One of the members recommended Steve so I am sending that one...

Yeah need to figure out how to post photos on this new forum. Used photo bucket on the old one.

Will contact John ( great guy) . I purchased this jacket at least 10 years ago from a forum Member. Had it stored just pulled it out a couple of days ago had forgotten what a good looking jacket it was ....actually forgot I even had it. As they say about John's jackets something like WWII in a box.

Will contact him. Thanks

If anyone knows someone in the States that will replace cuffs and waistband would appreciate the name. i have several jackets that the moths have eaten up. Thanks Mike Pope
