You know... mine was described as having a "1960's" strap on it... so it may yet get the scissors.

The bag is... let's say *not* unissued. It spent the night in a bucket of OxyClean, and the water was as brown as coffee this morning. Now into the wash.

Hanging around and reading.

Sorry to revive an old thread, but I just got an original bag, and immediately realized that the strap would have to be damaged to remove it. So, of course, I came here for answers. :) I think I'll leave it alone. Sure, there may be a jillion of them out there... but this one has obviously seen some...

Surprisingly well! I am 6' 2", 190 pounds. Sleeves are just right, fits around me like a proper A2 should fit, perfect length. The shoulders could be narrower, but that's minor. Thinking about tugging out all that batting insulation. I blew out a pocket snap the first time I unsnapped it, but t...

There are no more to be had, I'm certain. I got lucky somehow.

Gemma says no reddish hides available.

Thanks Michaelson, for the tip.

I really do need to get out more often.

I sent off an email to see what is available.

Haven't posted in awhile...

Finally breaking down and getting a Wested. But I dislike the dull brown colored hides. Is it possible to get a reddish hide like this _'s?

Guess a few year's looking wasn't enough.
Now ya tell me.

After fussing and watching for about three years, my new glasses came today. I ordered the English Beaufort frames, in chestnut, via Frames Direct. The company was really great and easy to work with.
