Cup of coffee sounds great....!!!! :lol: ....by the way, back to the original question! The Wested factory in Swanley Kent is about 60 -70 miles from where I am in the U.K. If you or any other guys out there are in the U.K. one other way of reaching (besides the train)Wested is by car and it is jus...

I'd much rather have a 'disorganised German' than face a troop of very organised and efficient ones! Actually a 'disorganised German' is an oxymoron I think. :D Seriously, there are some great (they even have a sense of humour -really) Germans around today. My Dad met a few in Normandy back in 1944...

I agree with Scandinavia Jones, sadly a few deranged people have spoilt the (sane) majorities fun. Good luck with your course by the way Scandinavia. :lol: Oh just another thing....we have just banned hunting with hounds in the U.K. (not that I was a fox hunter myself) and bang goes another 1,000 ye...

Just a short word or two which will have our American cousins turning apoplectic....I can't own a handgun now in the U.K at all. I used to do sport target pistol shooting (I had a .22 Ruger)about 20 years ago; however, after an infamous massacre by a deranged Scot at a primary school in the 1990s (D...

I'm from the lovely South Downs here in West Sussex. Its so cool down here!

Frenchy, you are so spot on. Yes we are now (in the UK) just remebering the 1944 Airborne drop at Arnhem (A Bridge Too Far?). Basically there are a lot of 60th anniversaries coming up now - buts that no excuse to forget them or ignore them. My Dad and Mum both fought in WW2. My Dad was in the 51st H...

Thanks guys for all your input, as I said I got a second hand 'Indy', which was good value at the price on e bay (second hand) made by US Authentic. At the end of the day it is like a piece of art - what someone would pay a million dollars for another thinks it a pile of manure. Basically, if you're...

I guess you can hijack a 'thread' in a discussion about jackets ....mind you the statement 'If my jacket was a woman I'd marry it'. Thats rather sad...the word 'anorak' comes to mind a UK expression which pertains to 'train spotters' who stand on the end of cold damp railway stations taking railway ...

Thanks guys, for all the replies to my question. Yes it is that one sold at www.usauthentic.com I'd love to come to the London do, but I get drunk on a lager-shandy (a half pint glass at that) and not only my jacket is vintage goatskin........... - so am I!!!!(well a 40 something). By the way for yo...

Dear Indy fans, The website for the Indy Jacket (not the Wested of course)I have got is: WWW.usauthentic.com I would say its well worth a look, if you're looking at jackets of the WW2 type as well (A2s etc etc)for an Indy type jacket. A little bit pricey but certainly my Indy jacket is well made and...

Has anybody got an 'Indy' jacket from US Authentic? US Authentic are a US (NY) based Comapny who make mainly WW2 Type flight jackets I think as well as few others including the 'Indy' type jackets they do. They do a vintage goatskin 'Indy' and I have a second hand (bought at a fair price on e bay) o...
