    U-boat leather jacket options

    Ray you obviously know what you are doing because the results look good. I, on the other hand, shudder at the thought of attacking my new BW with a steel wool pad! But that's because a) I don't know what I am doing and b) I need to get past the 'precious' phase I go through with all things I buy...

    U-boat leather jacket options

    Hi Ray and welcome to the BW club! your jacket looks great. I got my new Bad Wolf in black the day after you got yours and once again John Doyle has come through for me- I have no complaints. I will try and get some photos on here soon! Jaffa

    Bad Wolf Dr Who Jacket leather Jacket-just arrived!

    The Jam was Weller's angry young man phase. He is a superb wordsmith- HD, the song is called 'Going Underground' and was No1 in the UK for about two weeks in 1980. It's obviously an anti nuclear weapons song but google the lyrics- not bad for a kid of about 21 years old.

    Bad Wolf Dr Who Jacket leather Jacket-just arrived!

    Hi Ray, I have gone in to general settings and tried checking the box to receive emails from other members but I don't think the new setting is holding for some reason. I am not sure if I am doing something wrong or if there is a glitch in the system? Give it another go and if you can't get...

    Bad Wolf Dr Who Jacket leather Jacket-just arrived!

    Hi Jeff M, I have been saving for a black Bad Wolf jacket for a while but am now wondering if their standards have slipped in the three and a half years since I bought my Bad Wolf? I would be as mad as hell if what happened to you happened to me! So you think Aero is the way to go? Did I read a...

    Bad Wolf Dr Who Jacket leather Jacket-just arrived!

    Hi Bob, The leather used by Bad Wolf at the time of my purchase was italian cowhide. I have always felt the Bad Wolf website does not do the jackets justice. My jacket is superb but I have read one posting on here from a guy who had a bad experiance ordering from Bad Wolf. I hope it was just...

    Blundstone boots 500's

    Thanks for the feedback guys. It seems to me Blunnies are not the boots they used to be. I will see how I go with mine but unless my pair last me a year to 18 months I will be dissapointed. Either way I think I will be looking maybe at Redbacks next time (unless they piss off to Asia as...

    Blundstone boots 500's

    Yes I agree Johnny, my main concern is quality, comfort and durability and if any of these have been compromised by Blundstones move to asia. That said, I don't think I would have any concerns about the quality if the boots were made in oz. But as you say, yours are made in Vietnam and you are...

    Blundstone boots 500's

    Thanks Johnny Mine do seem good quality but as they are the first blunnies I have owned I have nothing to compare them with. I will be useing them for work so if I get over a year out of them I will be pleased. Maybe I shouldn't get too political over a pair of boots but I did think...

    Blundstone boots 500's

    Thanks James Seems to me you stopped buying Blunnies on principal and I don't blame you. If I'd known Blundstone's background I don't think I'd have bought the boots. Jaffa

    Hi I've just bought a pair of Blundstone 500's not realizing they were made in Vietnam. Does anyone have a pair of Blundstones made in Vietnam? What do think of them? Are they wearing well or falling apart after a few months?

    Bad Wolf Dr Who Jacket leather Jacket-just arrived!

    Thanks for this Mustang. The Wear Wolf naval jacket looks fine at a glance and so do the other jackets they do but they really should have used either smaller jackets or a bigger guy to model some of them! lol The Reefer and Blouson jackets caught my eye but I would wait for feedback on here...

    Bad Wolf Dr Who Jacket leather Jacket-just arrived!

    Leather type So it is cow hide! :o The package weight was 2.9kg total so minus the packaging I reckoned the jacket itself was around 2.5kg maybe a tad more. The leather is excellent quality and it's not too heavy but not light and flimsy either. It's a very soft and luxuriant texture. Jaffa
