THE QATSPY® FLYING TIGER FLIGHT GEAR– The Classic Flying Tiger G-1 Leather Flight Jacket, QATSPY Button-Down Oxford Shirt, Khaki Chino Pants
THE QATSPY® Flying Tiger Gear, Your classic Indiana Jones Look
When it comes to gearing up for travel in or out of town, or out of the country, nothing can rival the classic and professional look and feel that The Flying Tiger Gear provides you with confidence, even for the unexpected. The Flying Tiger Gear has the authentic U.S. Military-issued G-1 Leather Flight Jacket with three (3) hand-painted leather Flying Tiger patches and a leather-stamped name tag for that distinguished look.
The Flying Tiger Gear is completed with THE QATSPY® Flying Tiger L.L. Bean Button-Down Shirt that features the embroidery P-40 Warhawk with wings over the left pocket and khaki chino pants that can be purchased separately from our online store.
Nothing can create that classic look and feel of our G-1 Leather Flying Tiger for that Indiana Jones classic look, with either of our authentic A-2 or Indiana Jones-Style Leather Jackets. These leather jackets will be your go-to sports jacket with that fitted look to replace your cloth sports jacket. The cloth sports jacket can’t provide that nicely-fitted waist-length look that enhances your waistline.
The Flying Tiger Gear for that Tailor/Fitted Look
What makes The Flying Tiger have that tailor-fitted look is THE QATSPY® Flying Tiger Button-Down Oxford Shirt that offers a combination of neck sizes and sleeve lengths. This shirt is paired with our khaki chino pants that have a wide range of waist and inseam sizes. THE QATSPY® Flying Tiger Button-Down Oxford Shirt has neck sizes of (14, 14.5, 15, 15.5, 16, 16.5, 17, 17.5, and 18 inches), with an option of sleeve lengths of (32, 33, 34, 35, 36, and 37 inches) to provide that confident, tailored-fitted look and feel.
Our khaki chino pants have waist sizes from 28 to 48 inches and inseams from 28 to 36 inches that provide that nice quarter-break stylish leg length fit, shown in the featured image, above. I’m 5 ft. – 6-inches with a 27.50- inch inseam that makes finding pants a little difficult, especially ones that have a 28- inch inseam that most brick/mortar or online stores don’t provide. Someone with my height can’t ever find the 28- inch inseam, whereas most stores generally only offer a 30- inch inseam as their shortest length. I like to have that one break look in the legs of my chino khaki pants that the 28- inseam provides.
Gear Up with The Flying Tiger Gear
I was a power lifter in high school and I continue my strength and conditioning training even now at age 65. So the variety of neck sizes and sleeve lengths in THE QATSPY® Flying Tiger Button-Down Oxford is a great fit and look for me, especially with the heavy oxford cloth of 5.5 oz. per sq. yard.
These options of specific neck sizes and sleeve lengths of THE QATSPY® Flying Tiger Button-Down Oxford Shirt and inseam of the khaki chino pants allow me to have a confident tailor-fit and look, even at my height and build. I want a fitted-look, whether for business or leisure attire.
My Leather Flight Jacket is NOW my Sports Jacket
I have long since mothballed my cloth sports jacket that needs dry-cleaning and is also a perfect breeding ground for bacteria, lint, and hair, in favor of my easy-to-care for U.S. Military issued A-2, G-1, or our Indiana Jones Leather Jacket. I can use one of my Leather Jackets to ride my INDIAN Motorcycle to and from our hangar and also for business or leisure wear and still maintain that Flying Tiger Fitted look. Try that with your cloth sports jacket on the open road or at a sporting event. For good measure, I keep a tie folded up in the front patch pocket of my leather flight jacket to just be prepared.
Our Flying Tiger Gear provides that go anywhere, do anything, at any time, with that carefree look. The care of these flight jackets just require a simple wipe-down with a wet (water) paper towel, and you’re ready for that charismatic look and feel of Indiana Jones or that aviator look. NEVER USE ALCOHOL on leather. You will always stand out with THE QATSPY® Flying Tiger Gear wherever your schedule or adventures take you. Can you imagine Harrison Ford being without his Leather Jacket on his adventures?
A Lesson Learned to Always be Prepared for the Unexpected
A lesson that I learned early in my leisure travels that takes me away from home is to always pack a button-down Oxford Shirt and a pair of khaki pants in my carry-on whenever I need to dress up for those unexpected occasions. I had an occasion where I had to attend a dear friend’s funeral while on vacation and couldn’t find a shirt or pair of pants that I could wear that fit me. THE QATSPY® Flying Tiger Gear has you covered for those unexpected occasions. I have never regretted having to carry my Flying Tiger Gear in these occasions since that unexpected occasion. Always be prepared is my motto.
