For example, MIL spec G-1 is $119, pile lined, US NAVY punched on the wind flap exactly like issue. A-2 in goatskin or cowhide, cotton lined is just $99!!! To bring the thread back to the original post, this is no doubt why the guvmint is buying Pakistani goatskin. I may investigate Airborne Leathers! Which is the "Flying Tigers" jacket, the G-1 or G-2? If I'm going to buy fake, I want the most authentic fake that money can buy. all the best -- Dan Ford email: www.danford.net/letters.htm#9 see the Warbird's Forum at www.warbirdforum.com and the Piper Cub Forum at www.pipercubforum.com |

from http://www.washtimes.com/national/inring.htm Buy Pakistani? The Pentagon is about to waive "buy American" provisions of U.S. law and allow Pakistan to provide the goatskin leather used in the distinctive U.S. aviator bomber jackets. Do you know any economics theory? If not (and I suspect this is the case, or you wouldn't have posted this), I suggest you look up "comparative advantage" to see why it might well be in the interests of both the USA and Pakistan to do this. -- A: top posting Q: what's the most annoying thing about Usenet? |

The Pentagon is about to waive "buy American" provisions of U.S. law and allow Pakistan to provide the goatskin leather used in the distinctive U.S. aviator bomber jackets. Sounds like a good idea to me. Goats don't have political opinions, do they? all the best -- Dan Ford email: www.danford.net/letters.htm#9 see the Warbird's Forum at www.warbirdforum.com and the Piper Cub Forum at www.pipercubforum.com |
