Great question ! We actually have a sports bar not far from here called “Gators” and they serve Gator Tail . Although I’ve never tried it everyone I know who has said that it tastes just like chicken . So I don’t see why you couldn’t get it on Pizza . :)

I've eaten croc quite a few times in Oz and NZ. And one time in NZ it was on a pizza Burt (if there's any Kiwis here it was some joint on Ponsonby Rd in Auckland that I can't remember the name of). It's not bad, and it does taste a lot like chicken but it's chewier. I'd rather eat croc jerky which is better.

And Flyingcowboy - looking good ;-)

Over the moon with this one. It’s been a while since I’ve acquired a vintage USN in very good condition. Knits were replaced recently.

Unlabeled, but seller claims it as a California Sportswear 7823. 1960 I believe. This one has a more pointed collar which is more M-422a-ish.

What’s this stamp about? Never seen one of these before.

Undoubtedly, vintage goat is THE leather.

Yes imdeed! A great day was had by all. I had the good fortune to spend some time with the one and only "B-Man" himself and he took me through his incredible collection of jackets. What a terrific steward he is for these great pieces of history and I'll tell ya my jacket knowledge went up exponentially today just being able to experience the lovely examples Burt takes care of. He even let me try on a few so here is a very cool patched Cable from the 10008 contract. Thanks Burt! You are THE man.
