Flight Jacket Season!
Woops! Until I got some great comments over the weekend, I didn't realize how long it had been since I last updated!! My apologies. - life just got in the way.
But now it is fall, the weather is getting colder which is great! It's the perfect time to break those leather jackets out of storage, and to see other good looking guys wearing them around too!
I recently got a new G-1 as well. A cheap Ebay find, but it was brand new with tags. It's an Avirex, which I understand is now going to be something of a collectors item, given that Avirex was bought out, and now makes the jackets under the label "The Cockpit." (see some Cockpit jackets here... not sure how they measure up, any comments?) By the way, over at U.S. Wings, flight jackets are 15% for the upcoming holidays. May buy myself another jacket, or of course you can buy one for me, ha!
Also, sort of related, I am a member of a male fetish oriented website called GearFetish. This site is great, if you are so inclined, I reccomend joining! There you can meet guys into all sorts of things: flight jackets, flight suits, football and sports gear, leather, you pretty much name it.
And now, a few words of A-2 jacket wisdom I found...
"Men shrug on the A2 flight jacket and in an instant they're suave, debonair, authoritative. Women slip on supple leather and they're svelte, sassy, chic. Why? Because they're wearing a piece of history. In the air, on a motorcycle, at a racetrack or doing the downtown thing—the A2 bomber jacket is probably the most recognizable jacket in the history of the United States.
For more than 50 years, the A-2 has brought us the daring exploits of brave men and strong women. It has warmed the backs of General Claire Chennault's Flying Tigers and made average folks feel like a million bucks on a Saturday night. As American as Harley Davidson motorcycles, Corvette sports cars and Cessna airplanes, the A-2 is still looking good as it enters the new millenium as an always rising star!"
