Jeez, I'll have to lay low now while wearing my all leather version that came from the Indy ride gift shop in California. It's got no maker's name but it is made in the USA.

This doesn't just go for Indy stuff, either. The first time I wore my A-2 to work I was immediatly called "Maverick". I was lucky though. Another guy (whose pushing 300 lbs.) wore his a few weeks later so naturally he was "Goose". Oh, the power of movies!

I've called it a "possibles bag", which is a black powder shooting term from the days of the mountainmen. I'll stay away from the term "murse" thank you very much. Now where did I put my "Urban Sombrero"?

Catchin some grief

Ok, I've been getting some grief from the wife and daughter. I've started using a bag more often. Granted it's not the Indy bag but it is from a British military Pattern 37 web set. They call it my purse :x . My only defense is it depends on how it's worn. If the strap is across the chest to the sho...

I actually own one of those caps. It's the one I wear when I fly. The dent in the crown is not standard. When worn properly it's a very close fitting cap, conforms to the head. Size adjustment on the back is with velcro, which sticks to the headrest on my lazyboy :? . 100% cotton. It's made by Dax W...
